Thanks guys

I am going to fix a few issue before registering as there is no rush for me to get it on the road.

I have found out that I need some peugeot handbrake return springs. Right handside was not releasing without the spring.

I will remove the cross member and press out the solid rubbers. Spoke to Burtons last night and a few of their customers have reported bad vibration with a world cup cross members for street so they suggest replacing mounts with Poly 14 Capri M1/Escort Mk1 Leaf Spring Rubbers. The Burtons clients who have done this have reported that it reduced vibration quite well.

Pulling the haltech loom out to run a couple of additional switched 12volt wires to run the VCT and Thermo Fan. I have only just learen't that the PWM ouputs switch to ground.

Need to bleed the front and rear brakes.

Then I will take if for a drive down my street in two weeks and see how those changes work.

Regards

mate could i hassle you for some photos of your rear disk conversion,i bought the kit from geoff from eurospeed but haven't fitted yet,just wanted to see how they look and how they mounted.thanks mate

That is one tidy conversion. I love it.

Top points no matter what the result.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
