Very nice Paul Did you make the port holes in the flange slightly smaller than the port? It is a good idea to step the flange down to create a 1mm anti reversion lip[%]

HI Phil.
I have not finalised the final port size as I need to machine some tubes to suit. The 42mm throttle bodies have around 5% larger overall circumference than the standard Zetec ports.

OK, had a few items arrive this week so I thought I'd throw them up on here. Ordered an Alloy radiator from Ralloy in the UK. hey have an off the shelf item to suit the Zetec application - along with Duratec, XE and the Pinto. Quality of finish is fantastic and was half the price (delivered!) of the locally manufactured item. I thoroughly recommend Ralloy as their products look great and their customer service is what you would expect from a company exporting worldwide. Plus the 2 radiators (ordered along with Diablo) arrived within a week of dispatch.    I also need to move on my pedal box assembly so I needed to find a bias bar assembly to suit my application. I eventually chose the Tilton 7/16" item over others for a few reasons - Readily available locally.
- Jam nuts on the clevis shaft - I need to lock my bias bar for engineering approval.
- The nose of the clevis is longer to take more thread from the master cylinder push rod.
.   I have made a jig to hold the balance bar shaft in position and parallel to the pedal pivot point.

Looking good Paul,
I was thinking of ordering one of the alloy radiators from Ralloy, their stuff always looked like pretty good quality.
Cheers
Justin
BTW, you still working up in Cavan?

Justin One thing I have discovered with the Ralloy unit is that it does not fit up against the radiator support panel as the old one did. There is approximately 20mm gap where the radiator can be moved forward to fit as per the original - not sure why this is the case [x2x] Maybe it's to allow a thermo to be installed forward of the radiator? In any case I will modify the mounts to allow the radiator to fit in it's original spot as I have opted for the pull fan on the back of the radiator. Looking at it I recon it's just a simple case of cutting off the originals and having another piece of angle TIG back on. Now onto more arrivals............. My Escort water pump arrived today to enable me to run the standard triangular belt arrangement with the crank, alternator and water pump pulleys. I have looked high and low for a grooved belt pulley to enable me to purchase just an Escort pump but I resorted to the Retro Ford kit (which comes complete with pump, pulley and gasket). I managed to pick this up on Ebay last week for a little cheaper than the quoted price (incl freight) from Retro Ford.  Now, if I could only get the bloody shell painted
