Re: Paul's Mk2 RS2000 project - Now going ZETEC!

I ended up buying a sleeve to go over the end of the Supra (same as Celica) shaft and glued it on with locktight. The measurements are IR12x15x22.5 this will allow you to use the original ford spigot bearing. Not sure if it'll be same for Zetec but suspect it will
The dellow bearing doesn't sit far enough in the crank hence the issue above but using this sleeve will fix this problem
Cheers
Matt

Thanks guys - food for thought once I get to that bridge. Doing a little on the new dash cluster as I didn't want to destroy my RS dash to run a digital speedo. Pix of the dash facia all finished and with the gauges fitted along with the warning lights. At least doing this I can incorporated the "Brake Warning" and "Park Brake" lamps into the dash and remove the tacked on under dash unit. Plus added a Check Engine light so I can have any ECU faults or engine alarms indicated on the dash.

Clutch hard line done - image on previous page shows the top section and this goes to a chassis mounted bracket to support the flexible hose. Final hose will be a braided item. Discovered my original pinto clutch was too tall to fit the Celica input shaft so had to find an alternative that would cope with some extra grunt. Ended up with a HD SR20 cover mated to a Toyota clutch plate. I also have a roller bearing inner race to allow the Toyota box to mate with the OEM Ford spigot bearing (thanks Matt 👍). Plus - I wonder what I can put together from this pile of parts 😉

Thanks Matt. I think I’ve got it sussed. What did you use - Corsa / Astra EPAS? I was going to use those but found the Suzuki Ignis / Holden Cruze are much more compact and it all seems to fit together well so far. As I have a digital speed input available it will also be variable assistance which will be nice. Hoping to have it done soon.
Hoping also to get the engine off for machining soon.

Outer column all but sorted and unlike some kits I’m incorporating the factory ignition barrel and lock. Now onto the shaft.

Almost there. Just need to chop the original shaft and add it to the ends of the motor. Installed and pretty happy as can barely notice it once shroud installed.

Hi Paul,
That is a very neat piece of work!! I take it, from what I've read so far, that you have got an Electric Power steering system in place ?? What a great idea! Len

Hi Len. Yes I’ve adapted the original Escort column to Electric Power Assisted.
