MK1 Escort - Rear Inner Tubs
Basically ive come a bit stuck on the escort recently, when its come to replacing the rear tubs. Im looking at building a custom rear seat stay, which wont be holding rear seats so will be manufactured bigger/stronger/bolder. But my inner tubs are basically extinct. Ive got a local company who can manufacture these for me, but need the right sizes. Now what im after is for some measurements of rear tubs. I'll be looking at putting a 5link system + coilovers.
SO basically im after the width across the front of your tubs, the height from the centre and the the depth across the top. If someone could measure that up for me id be haha.
Cheers in advance

Got a shell in the workshop crying out to be measured Ben. Not too sure where you need specific dimensions tho. Can you elaborate at all?.

Re: MK1 Escort - Rear Inner Tubs
so are we talking the original inner tubs which bi sect the rear bulkhead and to a degree the floor, or are you talking the fabricated inner replacement tubs for bubble arch turret job?

Re: MK1 Escort - Rear Inner Tubs
Hmm ideally original - however if you have the turret measurements that will help, as I will be taking original measurements and making the turrets etc. Just at present I have no inner arch at all to even play with, need to manufacture my cardboard cut out from the dimensions I get then start to look at making the turrets.

No my shell has the original inners but to give measurements is not easy as there are so many datum points to choose from and they are an irregular shape. I tried to post photos for you to photo edit but it said they were too big and im a body man not an IT man. PM me an e.mail address maybe.

A pic of a tub you might be able to mark on there where you want the measurements from .
As you can see from the pic the inner tub is a funny old shape so difficult to measure lol.
You might want to pull a string line across from one inner quarter to the other side the car .
So you can measure down to the floor where the chassis rail runs .
