hello all, it's been a while lol.
been slowly collecting bits and bobs, stripped and cleaned complete driveshaft and hub from north yorks breakers, cheers paul.
bought adjustable tca's and fitted along with comp struts
got a steal from fleabay, 7 mtrs of goodridge 600 hose and a few re-usable fittings Ł30
popped the wheels on for a looksie
once i put discs on and a spacer should fill the arch nicely
and i had a local rad company make me a bespoke heater matrix, very pleased.
been painting calipers so will get some pics tomorrow.
hope you like so far
cheers jas

4x4 or RWD, makes a tail happy Focus. Despite the Focus being wider than a Sierra, the Sierra still has more of a boot overhang over the real wheels. So nice chunky tyres that are preferbly wider would support the ass end a bit

made a start on the brake lines tonight, i am using 600 series re-usable goodridge fitting and hose, might be of some interest to you.
ok this is how you recieve the fitting
and now opened to reveal olive
same with caliper joint
cut hose to length using fine tooth saw and splay the bria dback and insert olive onto end, takes a little practice and a little effort, but this is one fitted
the nut fitting is put on first, once olive in place, insert the fitting and tighten the nut and hey presto, custom hose fitted
will get bigger cable ties on Monday
cheers Jas

yeah need to fit rubber grommet mate, on the cosworth master cylinder the front port feeds the front brakes and the rear feeds the rear, the middle fitting is for the abs mate
