Right as some of you no iv been playing with some cam triggers as to use one on a FOCUS COSWORTH theres a problem . The one that is used on all over cosworths motors is out of a ford mondeo but it wont work with the room onder the wiper motor on a FOCOS . So this is wot iv done to over come it

MY NEW SETUP ON THE LEFT MONDEO ON THE RIGHT

As you can see the mondeo wont even go under the wiper motor and there is still no plug on the end of it so this is wot iv done

I made a sleve and put it on a focus cam trigger and iv not got a photo but wot i did next was take the cam trigger out of my 3dr cosworth and dropped the modded focus one down the hole hit the key and it ran spot on so next i made a new holder
