I think you need to cut the near side chassis leg slightly and then weld a mount on that side I think. Rick/ProjectRS/Crazycage/Luca are your best people to holla as they have nume plenty of these conversions.

If you are going for ZT then I hope you have plenty of points space on your license!!! they are bonkers

if your using the standard gearbox you dont need to cut chasis leg or weld a mount on, all you need to do is slightly modify the standard cvh engine mount to take the 3rd bolt

exactly the same as you would for a zvh

have even seen people just cut the lug off and use 2 bolts although its just as easy to weld the bit back on and do it properly ill try and dig you a picture of what you need to cut


easy peasy

no point building a zetec and fitting it to anything orther than a mtx or a st170 box imo.

Do a search mate as im sure crazycage is fed up of writing it lol.
For a MTX box you need:

Mtx box (focus rs one idealy)
Custom shafts
Top gearbox mount welded on inner wing
Focus rear gearbox mount
Gearstick + cables from Mtx Focus
2.0l zetec flywheel

I think thats it, im sure crazycage will correct if im wrong?
