I was chatting to DAVE last weekend about you car and we both said it would be nice to see how your shell was moded have you got any photos of the cutting up of the 2. shells

focus 4x4

Unfortunately i didnt bother taking any pictures of the 2 shells as it was before i joined PF so i didnt really think about documenting the project with pictures.

That's what I did on my new wiper mechanism too. Looks great, got a clue when it'll be mot'd and running? Looking forward to seeing this

Should be running shortly, maybe in a couple of months (not rushing as its winter) but wanna have it all ready for spring/summer .

Nice washer bottle. If I had known it would clean up that well I would have listed it for more I will certainly clean up my Mk3 Escort one before listing!

One hell of a build (and thread) but so near the end I bet you can taste it!

No photos of fuel line set up, so I am wondering how you are connecting swirl pot to pumps and filters to the fuel line? What size fuel line are you using? Are you taking return back to the swirl pot or tank? Are you fitting one way flap valves on each feed from the filters?

Grand progress mate !!!

what stack dash you going get then mate? just intrested in one for me own

focus 4x4

A white faced shtack dash system

focus 4x4

Steve , not using a swirl pot at all the tank has built in collectors ;o) gonna use -8ptfe from the tank to the pumps the -6ptfe from the pumps to the fuel rail and return. not gonna use any flap valves either as ive position the pumps lower than the feed from the tank so it should always have a fuel supply (Pro Alloy recomendations)

Cosworth_Elan

So, no lift pump either? Is the tank foam filled (may have missed this in the many posts in this thread)?

The main problem with using two pumps is if one stops. The fuel will then take the easiest route which is back through the stopped pump, hence the use of one-way valves. This is what I have been advised to do by Geoff, who should know a lttle bit more about the subject than Pro Alloy However, I am always prepared to be corrected (happens often!)

focus 4x4

Yeah its fully foam filled steve . As for the 'knowledge' bit , who knows mate ???? im just taking the advise from Alex at Pro Alloy who have been designing and making , trying and testing hundreds of fuel systems over the years . im the same mate im always open to be corrected , but i try to stick to what i and who knows best ;o)

Tanks with built in collectors and the pump being the lowest part of the fuel system seemed to work just fine on all the Sierra Cosworths.

Had these turn up this morning , and if anyone is concidering using Torques .co.uk , then dont hesitate , top quality stuff . one with the final part of the fuel system ;o)

Cosworth_Elan

If I am not mistaken, they look like a pair of filters. Same as mine and from same source. I agree that Torques.co.uk is a good place to get your fuel fittings from. Alex is very helpful and knows his stuff.

focus 4x4

Yes steve 3 points to you! , a pair of 100 micron pre pump filters ;o)
