Standard R31 cables new brackets welded to tunnel

Standard R31 union


Some all-tread bar welded to fit to escort lever...

I use to have it a 10mm lower but as you can see by the marks on the tailshaft it touched. I have since moved it all tighter to the top of the tunnel without any problems.

I've just got home from scrutineering for:

The car passed with no issues which is always a relief. It ran like a dog on the way home but after removing the filters all seems good again. I think the filters were restritive and cause it to run rich and foul the plugs. I'll do a bit more testing tomorrow prior to Sundays event.

First in class!

First trophy with the escort so kinda special to me! Was nice to achieve in the first year too.

Here's a iphone video of SS1:

Car now has a CAMs cage. I spent last weekend painting. Trying to get paint evenly onto round tubes within a confined space is a PITA

Unfortunately the day ended with the car being trailered home with a broken diff 

Paul I have a whole Mk2 diff assembly I don't need - had an easy 55000kms behind a 1600 auto.  3.77 though.
 
edit: Just realised you have hilux diff
