Manifold bolted up

New oil filler cap
Bracket that goes off the cradle to the starter bolts ( should help keep the gearbox in place for alittle longer )
Nos brake master cylinder

Just the bumper to refit and it’s ready for Mot’ing...
Just in time for Classic Ford on Sunday
I’ll do all the brake upgrades after Classic Ford is out if the way...
Think I’ve got everything here for the job to go smoothly
FRS Brembo’s, duscst, pads
Stud & nut kit, 7mm wheel spacers to the calipers just clear the Borbets
10mm M12 shims to fit between adapters and hubs
Nos brake master cylinder, and some satin black to refurbish the servo

That's why I haven't had my gearbox back out. Oh and because I just can't be arsed.

A few pics from a while back after adjusting the suspension in the quest to stop the new tyres catching on all 4 corners with 2 adults and 2 children in...

Sat high for me
After another tweak yesterday it’s pretty much there now, can load it up without it catching all the time
Still catches on big corners but it’s bearable now
May look into stiffer springs, even bump stops

After some logging last night we’ve found out why I’m missing some boost
Speed sensor isn’t doing owt... Because boost by gear is on it’s not seeing any gears,
So only giving it 15% duty across the board...
New speed sensor on order and hopefully full boost will be restored

Good diagnostic work and not an OBD port anywhere. Is the speed sensor on the gearbox/ speedo output?
