Hi Geoff,

I could use the Zetec Thermostat housing but I'm not able to go to the MTN weekend  :(

However I do know of a few from our area (Bristol & Bath) that are going so I guess we could organise something, let me know if this would be OK and if it is, how much you would like for it.

Cheers

Chris

If by banjo casing you mean a piece of metal that holds the diff and half shafts on a live axle, then yes please to 1 of them!

Hi,

Chris_G - £15 - how much do they cost normally?  This may be OTT or I may be kicking myself later ??? Not a problem re pick up - just get someone to come along and mention your name. BTW It also has the thermostatic fan switch in it. NNew & unused.

DickieB - yes you can even choose which one you want!  :)  I also have some back plates / various bits etc.. if I remember to bring them along - you never know something might prove useful

Potster - old, no where near as good looking as my racetech instruments and no manual telling me how to fit them to my wiring loom :D pictures sometime this week.

Geoff, by adjusted do you mean it has been lenghtened? If the joints are good I will take that off your hands. I will also pick up the thermostate housing for Chris.

Hi Jeff,

This is one where the builder has been able to find an Allegro column and handed it over to WF for lengthening / new Escort UJ  for connection to rack. It's been painted !white! and has surface rust - needs sanding and repainting, in black  :)  obviously. I was going to get this done in the paint shop at work but I found another column already done  :)

Chasmon has sent me PM regarding this and exhaust cover - pictures which I will be posting tonight. If he decides not to go for it you have second shout, okay?

Potster the clocks are really off - unless you're an electronic genius and you can do something with sticky back plastic ala Blue Peter - you can have them for free! Buy me a drink if you're feeling really kind  :D

P.S.

Thanks to Andy for the hosting service. I promise to take all the pictures off on Sunday.

P.P.S.

The clutch is brand new - I didn't have the dehumidifier on for the first couple of weeks and it surface rusted. What clutch do the guys bolting zetec to MT75 use?

Geoff,

Any idea if the GRP seat will fit in a Narrow bodied car?

Also do you know what make it is in case I wanted a matching one?

Cheers

Chris

PS Thanks (again) to Jeff for the thermostat housing collection...TOP MAN! :D

Hi Chris,

I beleive it will fit a narrow bodied car. Major Stare was looking at buying it before his better half bought him a Play's kool one! Obviously a beautiful girl!

I bought it from a chap on the Isle of Wight (Ebay) who said it was an early WF design copied from a Cateringvan Super 7 seat. I have the old fashioned Super 7 seats in my car with anti submarine fins and no back / shoulder support (I'm from karts and prefer the seat this way).

If you'd like me to measure the base tonight I can do.

Also the seat comes with ali fixing bracets - not pictured.

Do you have the crate that the engine came in? I've been looking for something like that for my spare XF engine....

Hi Dickie,

When you pop over (any idea on time yet?) you're quite willing to take it and try it out. Drop it back if it doesn't work.

If it doesn't fit I'm sure a builder planning on using a scrapyard zetec will be along at some point.
