The aim for this project is to keep the engine bay as clean and empty as possible. Space is also a premium in terms of brake systems whether it be cosworth or turbo pinto. So a pedal box was the answer, and this one came to me from the uk via Ty Brown.

It is a cable clutch type pedal box, with provisions for hydraulic clutch, with front/rear bias adjustment. Also came with 2 AP resevoir bottles.

hey nigel
awts the measurement of the inercooler across the bottom width from tank to tank ?
could u post up some pics of wat u did with ure ratiator support panel
wat radiator r u running with that ?

Simo ill get some measurements/pics of the cooler and piping in place. Was going to mount rad off the cooler but im still not sure on that.

Damion, a caged, arched, cossied mk1 sounds like a good plan to me, although your flat front aint half bad either!

awesome, some nice parts youve got going there! sorry i think i asked you this before but are the parts on the manifold and old pinto anodised or just painted? thanks mate

Round headlight grilles have been nothing but trouble for me. I had one effectively stolen from me by a well known workshop in Seaford, Victoria[}:)]. Long, unpleasant story. Thankfully, there are people on this forum who are not out solely to rip people off from their own community.

This grille is courtesy of Phil and was offered for a very reasonable price (and i thank him for that).


This grille is the one that caused me way too many headaches and trips to Seaford. Im sad to say is not even mine anymore (as good as it looks). It was sold to Simo and will look great on his car when done.





you wont find one much straighter than this...

nice grills i wish ford put as much effort into the mk2 grilles as the mk1's

First of all keep the pics coming, looks like it will turn out to be a gem, can't wait to see the final product. Always telling myself i'd love to arch mine in the end but its already painted..doh![:(!]. So yours should look insane when its finished.

Good luck with the rest of the build good to see another escort recieving a cossie!

i remember reading somewhere in the forum, someone had said and for the life of me i can't find it again searching the forum. Someone or some company was going to start fabricating those griilles from new.... anyone remember this may have dreamt it...[x2x]

Lincoln i have to get that t5 shifter off you too. No hurry, i might just get you to Aus post it to my home address, happy to pay. Check your email[;^)]

Luke, Yesterford in vic used to sell new reproduction square headlight grilles. I purchased 2 of them and they were only $50 each!! Possibly the same manufacturer is making round light grilles, we can only hope.

Stainless quarter bumpers were found on eBay. I know i got the last pair at the time (they make them in batches) but i think they said they make about 10 pairs a year/batch. Will try and get a business name, they are made in Malaysia.
