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.

special-K

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

cozzy jeff

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.

gjh

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

ranutter

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

cozzy jeff

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?

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

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

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.

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

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

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

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

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)
