can i ask where th ruber mounts are from exactly what im look at for mine

top work regards tommi

 

hi m8, how you getting on with the conversion?

 

Very average mate.

 

im looking to do a similar conversion or buy a conversion all done, thought id get the run down from ya to see what problems you have come across

 

Dingla off here has a converted shell for sale , id buy that if i was you. and build from there!

 

that i do and its cheap

 

how much do you want for the shell also do you have pics?

 

Brake lines finished yet ???

 

Yes Carl , all done mate , even got them bled and also have a decent pedal. fuel lines and wiring loom next ...... cant wait! ;o(

 

is the porky urs then mate in ur avator,looking forward some one doin a loom so i can see how hard they are to do

 

Managed to get some free brake fluid from a good friend whos sponsored ! Cheers Craig.







Brakes all finished , PHEW!

 

Yes mate it is/was ! Major boo boo with the porsche , i sold it . ;o(

 

Im gonna try and do away with the massive fuse box in the focus engine bay.... so wish me luck. doing he cosworth brake loom atm ;o(

 

It's not too hard to fit it in the glove box;

 

Look's good in there Simon will soon disapear ay

 

Now i do like that idea!!!! i love it when a plan comes together !!!

 

Check the top left corner of the black fuse box and you'll see it's hinged so it folds out to get access to the other fuse box.
There are more wires going from inside to outside through the wheel arch so you end up with less wires passing through the arch.
Note brown and grey connectors on the floor, they are normally through the arch.

.

 

So you have not used the connector's through the arch?

 

What a perfect solution!!! i have a complete cosworth floor and bulkhead fitted in my focus so ill need to pass the focus loom through the cosworth bulk head , should be pretty straight forward...... might need to extent some of the loom so that the connectors for the lights etc etc actually do reach!?

 

Made a start on the wiring today , so first things first i thought id tidy up the ABS brake loom . I cut out all the unwanted bits ( 4x ABS sensors and the ABS light) then i pulled the power supply wires back through the bulkhead grommet as the power feed will now come from under the dash.


Next step is to modify the standard focus fuse box loom so it also passes through the ABS brake loom grommet in the bulkhead so i can relocate the fusebox under the dash..........

 

keep us all up to speed on this mate as were have all got to do this job

 

Will do , im just doing what i "think" is right lol plus checking with an auto electrician with every step and "cut" lol

 

Got a chance tonight to get back under the car and fit a pair of much awaited brackets to stop the rear bumper flapping about at high speeds.......





















Soild as a rock! ;o)

 

Looking Good Simon very tidy under there

 

Loving how everything is made to order and the best quality on this!! Did pro make the brackets for you?

 

NICE

 

Grabbed another wiper mechanism from the local breaker (Ł15) ;o)

So the mods were done......
BEFORE


Modded
AFTER

 

Fantastic work

This is probably the only car I would ever consider buying knowing everything was 'just right'

 

Dont forget to check the strock when you put ut on the car as when i did my wiper it went off the window pillar so please please remember this as it will trash your paint job in one hit . And all so remember you have to re time the arm on the motor

 

Thanks Coley
Oh dont worry ill be trying it very very manually and carefully a number of times before i hook it up to the electric!

 

good lad

 

Which were the pin numbers that you have to live up to make the motor work and park again Ian i think that would be of some use to people doing the mod

 

mate quick question,what size are the fittings and braided brake pipes pliz?
ps cars getting there,well done

 

mate what size are the fittings and braided brake lines?how long did u use?thanx
ps
cars getting there,well done

 

I will go and sort this out for you DAVE as it one of the things i never put on my post about doing this

 

The brake lines are all ptfe lined -3 and the fittings are all size M10x1.0 .

hope that helps ;o)

 

iv put some info on my post about wot wires to clip on to to make the wiper motor work

 

cheers mate

 

Fitted the modded wiper mechanism tonight and suprisingly WITHOUT having to shorten the wiper motor arm . i simply adjusted the amount of "throw" i need on its splines instead of cutting the motor arm. Heres the results.....







And in the rest position.....





Couldnt resist trying the MK2 wheel..... hmmm ????

 

Im glad your happy with the wiper mod when its in place it looks like ford made it this way . nice bit of dust on it mate
