Ha ha fookin brill...

 

picked up my fuel pump today(thanks jay),also got -10 and -6 fittings from torques,has anyone else used these?there seems to be quite a large gap between the -6 fitting and the pump,i know i can use the standard fitting or cut this one down but just thought id ask.

 

yeh it should have a copper washer in there jeff to seal it...K

 

karl i know they should have washers in there mate but in the pics that fitting is screwed right in which would mean id have to use a really thick copper washer to make it seal.

 

Making great progress. Going to be a stunner when its on the road.

 

This is stunning, quality work. How did you clean the bolts btw?

 

this is a great thread and a credit to you.inspires me to do my own. keep up the excellent work

 

not this year mate,i would like it painted before it goes back on the road,i would be happy to get it back on its wheels and maybe the engine bay painted this year.

the nuts and bolts are put in a vice and cleaned with a wire wheel,then zinc plated

thank you

 

Can't help regarding the AN6 as i have left the original banjo/pipe jobby on mine but it looks like you will just have to get a correct thickness copper washer Jeff - i'm sure you'll find one - looks like 3 or 4mm

 

leaving the original banjo in is an option i was looking at them from burtons this morning,mines been cleaned up for zinc plating but mite just buy a new one.

 

not much of an update until my trailing arm bushes turn up but heres what little work ive done this morning.
bought a 044 pump off (JAY) so thought id trial fit it into the cradle.



cleaned up and painted the steel mounts for the rubber bushes.


also painted the gearbox mount

also won this off ebay a couple of weeks back.

so i put it in the collection.

thats it for now hopefully a bigger update when my bushes turn up.

 

Looks a tidy cradle Jeff - how shit are those rubber mounts on the pump side and Ford NLA - does yours move around a little?

Couple of little bit's i was told the pipe went under the cradle and have you fitted a copper washer on the AN10 fitting?

 

Fantastic job

 

Jeff fuel pipe wants changing to run on the outside mate... I'll dig a pic out for you mate.

 

 

cheers twins

ill change to route of the fuel pipe,ive taken a look at some photos ive taken and you are right,chris i need new copper washers all round mate there on the to do list.

matt i was just looking through some pics when i noticed your post,thanks for the pics,looks to me the steel caps are missing from your rubber mounts in the first pic mate.

 

That's all I got in the poly bush kit...I poly bushed the fuel cradle mate.

 

picked up my hubs from mb motorsport today.

 

the bank account took a hit this week,great service from GGR with next day delivery.
trailing arms and bushes are at mb motorsport being pressed in should have them back monday.

 

Very nice bushes mate..

 

So much money for something that is hidden away - but they are what you need Jeff, did they send you the dust seals too??

Hubs look great

 

Ł320?? Fook that

Very nice though

 

I ordered Ł280 worth of stuff from GGR Wednesday, still yet to turn up :/

 

no mate no dust seals,take it i need the ones you bought for yours?

 

Can you just take a few mm off the fitting so it screws in more?
Great build, real credit to you

 

thank you,yes i could have done that but ive decided to re-use the original link pipe from the pump to filter instead of using braided hose,im waiting on a new non return valve from burtons.

 

Are they genuine Ford items as they look different to the originals mate - your look like they are sealed - i could be wrong but it doesn't look like you could fit a dust seal like i did

 

no mate not geniune ford,didnt GGR have these made to there own spec?ill give a call tommorrow and ask about it.

 

got my trailing arms back today,also had confirmation from ggr that the bearings contain dust seals


also cleaned up my driveshaft bolts ready for paint.

 

Bearings look a nice part

Were they pressed in?
gonna be a proper clean car after all this work a real credit to you

 

cheers,yeah they where pressed in.

 

very little happened this month,due to weather,money and a holiday,i have got round to fitting the trailing arms,diff and rear coil overs(pics to follow).
also painted the driveshaft bolts.
cleaned up ready for etch.

etch primed.

and a couple of coats wedgewood blue.


also had a polly diff mount delivered from MSD going to fit this sunday if weathers ok.

 

Great resto thread.

Mart.

 

Great thread!

Proves driveway builds can be just as good as any other, top work.

 

Awesome rebuild thread, great work, keep it up.

 

looking good

 

Looking really good Jeff, its getting there now

 

thanks for the comments guys,im really happy with todays work,heres some pics for you.




after fitting the diff and mount i turned to the front of the car.

 

Looking mint Jeff, how did you find the front anit-roll bar to re fit?

I've been told it's a nightmare to put back on....

 

yeah mate was a pain in the arse doing it by myself,i gave up and waited till my dad came in from the club,hes been a great help today even though he was half cut.
