hey, mind me asking where did u get those filters from??

I measured the max space avail and ordered the filters from my local bursons store

finally installed my bolt in roll cage from bonds- yay! feel a little safer now

Got any pics of the rear bars and mounting positions Michael?

Does it just bolt through floor with re-inforcement plates on the underbody? Was it relatively easy to install?

Cheers,
Rhys

hi Rhys, I fixed my post as it was not showing the first pic. I can take some others with more detail if you want.

yup, it bolts through the floor with 3 bolt plates.

It was pretty straight forward except for the drivers side front leg plate. My esky has the factory reinforcement? plate, which the bond supplied one did not fit. I ended up putting in some crush tubes for two of the holes and had a piece of tube welded in for the outermost bolt. probably not cams legal, but I'll cross that bridge later. The other tricky part was cutting the rear bars to the correct length.

If I had to do it again, I would place the rear legs higher on the wheel arch to increase the angles of the cage and harness bar. Also, As I am quite lanky, I had to place the main hoop a fair way rearwards, this meant that the front legs are not as close to the front of the doors as I would of liked

Hi Michael

Was it the roll cage guys i advised you to go to?? DOn't want to name them here in case!! Just out of interested, what sort of dollars did you pay for that cage?? Also, how much was freight??

What meeting are you going to be competing in next?? PLanning to have some changes done on mine for historic baskerville. Will be great to see another escort out there!!

Cheers

Hiya fpv, nope I did not end up contacting the guys you recommended.

The cage to my door was approx $1600 inc freight (from NSW I think).

I'm planning to do the CMI regularity next in mid jul. I'd love to do the historic, or even the historic regularitys in the tas super series, but sadly my esky is not eligible (to young - 78 model).

had a blast at the Hobart domain hill-climb today. Was coming 1st in class, except a pesky datto 1600 beat me on his last run, grrrr:)

Thanks for adding the last bit, it looked hairy for a second.

Looking good Michael, you will get the dam datto next time.

picked up some new set of challengers off fleebay;



Anyone tried khumo v70a's and how they compare to toyo r888's?

cheers

Can't say I have tried them yet myself, but all the Nb and Nc guys use the Toyos. I have oredered a set to go on the Cortina, along with a set of Dunlop d93j's for the wet.

Also, the sons' project mk2 is the same peppermint green metalic as yours, just about to get it's new coat of paint.

cheers Ted
