Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

Done a little on the old girl over the weekend.
Finished off the DTA engine management loom. How people charge what they do for these is beyond me.
Will get the DTA S40 on order now the loom is done


Decided to repostion the fuse box, so made a new one. It was originally with the switches on the gearbox tunnel, and as i am going to rewire the car in lighter thinwall cable, thought that the new position should be just onder the dash on the roll cage to save weight with less cables. So got theold man o knock up the new fuse box


Seeing as the switch box didnt need fuses, had to make a new one. I know the labels are pissed but it was so fookin cold in the garage. I will replace these when needed.



My dad has also been making the box to fit the swirl pot, high presssure pump and filter into. This will be positioned in the boot floor. Didnt get any piccies of this

2 half shats
2 Telephone dials
2 Bearings
1 Diff case
1 End plate

Can't think what caused it but it did go with one almighty bang

Sounds like operator error to me

Wasn't it Rod that drove her last ???

More likely damaged when the rear wheel bearing/seal went and run it low on oil.

I've got a couple of good 4.44s, let me know if you need one

Shipped the diff off up to Fostek and after the strip down he found it was shagged.

Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

I will have a measure over the weekend Craig. The trigger kit is an off the shelf webcon kit and to be honest, for the money, it aint worth messing about making your own. I have changed over to a vee belt now as we have to now run an alternator and i dont think the trigger wheel kit would fit a toothed belt and looking at it, it has been designed for the standard pulley

Thanks Andy

Thats where i would like to mount my tank in the anglia but i'm not sure if i have enough room


Are you having a 1" drive pulley Andy ? I was hoping to keep mine. Is that the webber bracket and wheel you have fitted ?
