mk2 Escort - SR20DET

[kenneth]

so needed a few bits and went down to Gary Gallagher for some stuff.

i got a 2.2 quickrack
rack bushes
.70 master cylinder for hydraulic clutch
some link bars to make an A-frame kit
and a T-pull for the cutoff switch

waiting for caliper brackets to come back from the laser cutters to make my brake setup.

[kenneth]

thanks to Dion i got a push start button, ign on switch & a proper kill switch






thanks to Dermot for the mondeo front caliper and paul for the cossie disks, just need a bit of lathe work to make it all fit.





and started on the the power steering setup and just need a lathe to finish it off.

[kenneth]

as i am planning to run an A-Frame rear axle location i need to use a standard rear anti roll bar.
so philrs had a car that i could get it off of. :up:




heres what i was after.




and the quick way to get it out was cut it out
just need new bushes in the ends of it now





got a hydraulic clutch pedal box and fitted it today.






and was a bit bored so i tried to make a hole flare tool for free
i used a wheel stud and nut and a large nut.
i drilled a 16mm hole and this is what i had.

so made a start and finished my power steering setup.

had the escort spline welded to the corsa spindle




then made up all the rest and vince Tig welded everything up proper







vince also tried to teach me to tig weld but i've a long way to go to match his work






next was to get it fully rolling as the engine is going in this week.
just need to fit the a frame and rear anti roll bar

this is the front suspension setup and my final amount of lock aswell







painted the engine bay silver as thats what i had







dropped the 180sx and escort over to Iain and he will fit and get the engine up and running for which helps alot as these jappers are a bit of a mystery to me.

my brake setup is all ready just waiting for the caliper brackets from the laser cutters still as they got severely flooded losing €€€€'s in equip. so just being patient

hopefully the next update will be running car.
