That is one tidy conversion. I love it.

Top points no matter what the result.

It would be great to see this in action. [;^)]

Thanks. To reduced vibration. I took the crossmember out today I have a couple of days off.
I am puting poly on the inlet side and drilling a couple of holes in the mount on the exhaust side. Danny M mentioned that the poly doesn't like the heat so I have left it and just drilled it.

Is that Geoff's last pug caliper kit I wonder. I have one of his earlier kits also.. but minus the mounting plates. I begged him for his last pair, but it was part of a whole set, that he didn't want to break. Which was fair enough.

Really keen to hear how you find the rear disk setup.

Duude! that's some seriously ugly toes haha

But a great car, keep up the good work

thanks mate have to look into the handbrake thing when i get to it,i'm in a good position where i can nearly get anything fabicated so we might make something ourselves,thanks again for the pics

Bill,
I use the standard escort engine mounts, but have added a engine damper strut to stop it rotating so much. It was moving 36mm at the air filter. The original mounts are great for keeping vibration to a minimum.

Thanks, but the Duratec 2.3 has an added issue, its depth. It is 12mm longer in the block than the Duratec 2.0 and the Cosworth 2.0. So you need to lower the rack position.

Two ways to do this:
1. Get your standard cross member changed. Finding someone to do this properly is not easy and doing it is easier said than done. Once the cross member is modified burtons have the 2.0 oval rubber mounts to duratec but no good for big horsepower they will be destroyed,or put the stabliser in which you have done.
2. Get a world cup crossmember with lowered rack. Then vibration is an issue so you need to modify the mounts.

So I modified the Escort/Capri MK1 Leafspring bush.


Then drilled the other mount to releave some rubber from it.

Nice vid Bill.

How about getting some footage next visit to the dyno

Weighed the car on Monday, it weighs 940Kg

Completed the brake test and recieved the engineers report on Tuesday.

Going for the NSW blue slip on Friday Morning.

Hi bhempstead,
Was wondering if you could tell me who did your Wilwood Brake conversion. Also what size front discs your running.

Cheers!
