    Zetec inlet plenum options!

    I trying to use the original inlet on my Cortina ST170 build but im having major issues trying to get it to fit!

    The inlet plenum is very large and i cant get it clear or the brake master cylinder and that is without a servo fitted!

    I am thinking of getting a custom one made but wanted to know other options first?

    Cost wise, if i can keep using my brake master cylinder a remote dual servo is the best part of £300 to £350.

    Also i have looked at the gen 2 focus ST and i could blank off the one inlet but i dont know the dimensions and still not sure it will fit!.

    that gives me the space at the back of the engine but its still to big to fit with or with the servo.

    Can you not loose the servo and fit a bias pedal box

    Custom is the answer, its not going to be cheap but worth it in the long run.
