right im doin a turbo conversion on my xr3i, i bought a frst engine thats got nothing on it but the CPS from my xr3i it like 20mm to long!

ive tryed to take the metal part that holds it off the xr bottom end but it ment removing the clutch and flywheel so didnt in the end

anyone else come across that problem??? will a universal sensor work??? or can i just space my sensor out?

You can send it to me!! lol
Mine is like 20mm too short and I cant find which one i need, XR3i you say?

I had to trim the lug off my Fiesta RST one to make it long enough...



My holder looks like this....



I have a brand new FRST one (in the picture above the one I trimmed), if yours is the one I need then we can do a swap!

How long is it end to end, can you stick a photo up?

yer thats what the xr3i holder looks like yours must be built up on xr3i bottom end my new engine which if frst is very shallow

def do a swap with ya i'll get a pic up asap to show u
