BDA Zetec?

BDA = RS1600 or RS1800 mk1/mk2 RWD Escorts

Zetec = Well, front wheel drive Escorts amongst other Fords of the modern era.

What is it that you are actually looking for? A caam cover that is made from half of each of the above engines cam covers?

Batches of 10 at a time IIRC.

I had to wait 5 years for the second batch!

I think there is still only ever been 2 batches made!

Looks Great

They are heavy though!
