Yes when Mark @ MAD was looking to get this sorted for me we was looking at 9 bends at Ł75.00 each..
After Mark speaking to Matt, Matt agreed on the price
So really dont think it would have gone to Simpons if Mark had not found them..
Also just to say Mark did take time out to pop down to Simpons so they could have a look at a Escort Cossie and work out whats needed..
Cheers Mark

I had a full system made by matt and his guys last year for my lil old corsa, top quality stuff, was well impressed, and a year later it looks as though its just been put on.
I am intending to go there also when i get my 3 door

i never had a issue, putting my 4wd engine to 2wd oil feed, and i retained dash oil pressure light switch and got my Racetech oil pressure gauge take off there too.

Hi Dave, so what does she sound like? I want to hear some sound clips With regards to traction control with the SM4 does mark think its a good idea? I remember talking to him a while ago about it and he wasnt that keen on using it?

1 x Threaded in both ends - is standard on 2wd Cosworth (no longer available from Ford) to have oil feed pipe to turbo and oil pressure sender on inlet side of block close to dipstick - Ł15 + delivery.

The reason I couldn't get the 2wd oil feed to fit was because I didn't have the adapter between the feed and the oil feed adapter as pointed out in this pic:-
I asked a few places and no one helped me out and impatience made me just fit the 4x4 one.
If someone is kind enough to find or sell me said adapter then I'd fit it esp seeing as I need to fit a new oil pressure sender anyway

Ahh thats the difference then as mines removed & had the defi pressure switch fitted at the bottom. Looks to me like you'd just fit the 2wd adaptor to the 4wd version 
CossieRich
Shoot me if i'm talking crap but does the ECU not monitor Oil pressure?
But i'm sure the annoying light on the dash is only a lightbulb pull away!

Brilliant stuff!!
I was really impressed with them when I went there to ask about the system on my car. They said it would take a week (due to be picked up the day I went to FITP this year) and she was done 3-4 days! I LOVE my exhaust and can't praise Simpson highly enough. People have commented time & time again about the quality of their work and thoughtful little touches like pins to stop the exhaust mounts coming off the hangers (which has happened to one or two of our members). I cant even remember how I found them but I'm glad I did!

Mike the ones in your pics are just standard ford copies..
The 2wd adapter won't fit with the 4x4 oil mondine arm
The 4x4 one needs a male to male adapter to fit the 2wd oil feed which I don't have/couldn't get
Now if your not blind please LOOK at the pic I posted there is a big RED arrow pointing to the part I need
