Hi Jim,

Going to need a few more details, however I'm happy to help

Are you using the standard Cortina cross member? If so you'll need a front pinto sump. Either custom, cut and shut the original, or you can get one out of the states. The rs2000 sump, is rear, it won't fit

Rs2000 sump,alloy? (I'm assuming you're from the UK? ) Won't work. In Australia, the rs sump is no different from a 2 lt escort.

You mention clutch cable. Therefore you must have changed already from the hydraulic setup. What gearbox are you using? The cable should connect fine with the original 2lt bellhousing.

Get some pics up of what you have.

I'm happy to take pics of my setup if you need?

Shaun
