MARCOSWORTH

Been at Doug's yesterday to give hime a little help.

As we are Dutch we always are critical so my mate checked the car over very well!!



Whilst doing that Doug was on the phone telling his friends that he beat Ronnie the day before with karting



The car looks very very well specially the roll cage!!!



Special bonnet stay.



The guys started working and this time Ronnie won



But the bolt that hold the tca in the subframe did not want to come out so we needed a bit of fire.





Doug got fed up with it and wanted to set light to the car



We talked him out of it and took the subframe out to cut the bolts out, after 15 mins the normally fast Doug had found a grinder and discs so the tca was off and the man give it a little clean.



After that he was so happy that he wanted to show us his lovely bum



Unfortunately time had come for us to leave and ride back to Holland

Good luck with the resto Doug and hopefully it will be ready next time as i want to see the beast on track

Im guessing you two really dont like them! But they came off a running car thst got broke for spares. could i do anything with them to make them better? Other than throw them in the bin lol

steven mc kay

hello mate

you will need to weld on a top hat onto the top of the turret then bolt the top mounts to it this will give you back your suspenion travel

in a grpa/ wrc car they have top hats welded onto the strut tope to help suspenion travel.
on my fiesta i have top hats welded on but i also will be useing a alloy spacer ring , this will help to keep the travel the same but let me run the car lower.

thanks steven

Miller 3

iTrader: (4)

Thanks for the reply Steven mate, yer iv seen those top hats your on about pal. Where would one get a set lol

Whats the differance between my top mounts and the ones that Mike sell's?

steven mc kay

if its the ones that was on daves old escort i would say theres not a very big differance in them dude, i just can remember 100% what they looked like. there was more of the top mount sitting on top of the turret i think. but again i am no expert , if the small hump part of the turret is cut of its takeing away from suspenion travel is all i no . in saying that dave didnt seam to have any problems .
what suspenion will you be useing .

p.s on the comp struts are you only useing 2 bolts to hold the brackets on the shell , theres lost of preasure on them . on grpa and wrc cars there was a 3rd bolt into the side of the bracket . this hole was not on my escort but domanic welded a insert in to make it up.

thanks steven

Iv got 909 billies bud. And on the comp strut bracket the is a hole on the side so i may look in to putting another bolt there.
