Getting there Paul
Slowly but surely now this bits nearly done it should fly along now "hopefully"
Well who'd of thought it after putting it off and off the watts towers are finally in
Just a couple of strengthening plates to go out in
Watts towers finished now we are fabricating the Tony Law exhaust system
Nice one Paul. You boys love it!!
got to say this has got to be the 2nd heaviest escort i have seen!!!
No it will be light it's the driver that's the problem
Hux,
Did you have to raise the watts towers up at all? Also what is the distance between the leaf spring saddle and the chassis rail. and also the height of the top bolt on the long tower from the chassis rail.
Thanks in advance
Sorry just seen your post the towers were virtually fitted as they come with a small bit of fettling albeit on reinforced plated on the boot floor I will get the measurements when I get up the workshop hopefully next weekend for you, most of the measurements can be gleaned from the escort build book as well
Paul
New motamec tow bracket to be fair the plate it comes with is much too big for the chassis rail
Fat boy Mirco RS2 seat fits well got a great deal from GSM Performance in Notts

Almost their ... Lovely work - your doing all the enjoyable parts now... If you can say that
It makes all the blood and sweat worth it
not a lot going on here!!! you gone to sleep?
want to see if jeff has started the column if not get it back i will do it for you
time to strap in the pas column wc xmember and rack make sure it fits!
Some lovely work going on there mate, well done!
is it going to be adjustable??? may rev too high as pneumatic are a bit sketchy for this sort of fine application it could fail and jam throttle open! a long way
It's only a short throw cylinder and on full stroke it only opens it a little bit
So last weeks shopping list some new An-3 ends for the centre push clutch and An-4 to An-3 hose for the quick release clutch connector, a Viair 444c black compressor for the paddle shift system and news on the grape vine DTA are about to release a PDU (power distribution unit)
never believe grape vine!!! that is where wine comes from that is for drunks!
