Try some stainless steel cable ties, they won't go brittle like the plastic ones. I think you can get black pvc coated ones too. Here's a link.

O right its some thing i will have to look into

nugnah

ok , had a little panic today, a good friend on here advised me about the master cylinder brake pipe setup but seems to have worked out ok, looks like you need this setup if not using abs pump but if you do you need to use all 3 outlets, fingers crossed lol
just need to get some p-clips and maybe 2 chassis mounts for the hoses.

Intersted to see how the brake prob's work out for you
Hope all your family are ok

nugnah

we are all great thanks mate, hope all is well with yours aswell.

Ian was worried about not using the middle pipe, but i looked at cochyn's at ford fair, and warrenpenalver mailed me aswell, so i have followed their setup.

Im glad you have sorted this mate as it was bothoring me a lot all so JA i think you should bolt the pipes up as if it moves about and rubs on any thing . look how Focus4x4 has done his and you will see wot i mean were there go onto the fliches

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

Or bolt the pipes up like they should be on a 2wd front beam

nugnah

Im sorry to ov gone on about this all mate but when it comes to brakes they need to be right or some one could be going in a box not good

nugnah

Hey no worries Ian nice that someone is that concerned mate

COCHYN

Ah crap, sorry mate I just noticed your dilemma. Could have told you straight

Its the thought that counts

nugnah

not really an update as such, been buulding the braking system up and had these dropped off tonight for the rear end.


jas

COCHYN

Pretty much the same setup towards the rear end on mine, can't go wrong

nugnah

sweet, you got any pics of how it's run along the swing arms mate

jas

focus 4x4

And mine !

COCHYN

Nah mate, you can't really go wrong with the braided lines. Try to feed them into the arms as close to the original fittings as possible, especially the port in the arms specifically for the brake lines that lead to the calipers. You don't want them rubbing against the discs or the shafts

nugnah

any chance you can take a pic mate when you have a moment please

jas

COCHYN

Aye mate, but I'm sure someone else will be able to do sooner than me because the car is 90 or so miles away from me in Wales. But I've just sorn'd it for about a month or so, so I can do a few more bits to it

focus 4x4

This may help

nugnah

cheers for those simon

jas

COCHYN

And there we have it

Looks great, mines pretty much the same except the T piece is fitted a little further towards the middle of the car just above the prop

focus 4x4

Anytime pal.

what size is the pipe used for the job as its next on my list

nugnah

it's goodridge 600 series re-usable hose and fittings, it's 6mm mate

jas

focus 4x4

-3 mate , the fittings are 10mm

nugnah

did you use the re-usable fittings aswell simon

jas

focus 4x4

Yes mate , all re-usable . id fit need new olives each time if a fitting does need to come apart. just to be on the safe side.

nugnah

i love it, so easy to build a system how you want it.

jas

nugnah

been busy building a storage area at the rear iof the garage for my compressor to go in and store wheels etc.



just need some more wood for joists and then i can put roof and door on, hook up outside socket for compressor and light and jobs a goodun

jas

nugnah

SERIOUS question, i have full focus loom, so if i install it all and hook up power to it, i assume it will throw a wobbly and go into limp mode, NOT a bad thing, however, is it possible to run fuel pump electrics and radiator fans from the focus loom ?????? because even in limp mode the car would still drive.

jas

focus 4x4

Put all the focus loom and ecu back in as standard , then run a seperate cosworth engine and fuel pump loom (and ecu of your choice) along with a sepreate cosworth fan loom .
Theyll happily run parallel .

nugnah

cool, apart from fitting 2 crank sensors, is there any other way of utilising the focus clocks

jas

focus 4x4

I Dunno , i tried the crank sensor route and found that it worked so i never bothered seeing if there was another way. (if its not broke , dont fix it!!)

nugnah

ok, update time, car loom is in still need to chop some un-wanted blocks off, brakes lines all done, brake servo loom in, rear lights, seat, roof lining, rear panels all in, coming together now.





mark who is a wonder with remembering where it all goes lol



cheers Jas
