Yeah I'm use using sierra bits, ok cheers

On another note on the pedal box what are the v cuts for on the foreword stops and also the book says you need 8 shock brackets but two are fixed to the uprights

Am I missing something?

I've no idea what the cutouts are for. There are better designs for a box on the forum.
Sus brackets, I count 6 too. No idea where 8 comes from.

Found the pedal box here

Btw not every thing in the 'book' actually works. Like using the stock engine arms, the steering shaft goes through the top of the rubber mount.

Also I was at your stage 5 years ago so I may be wrong on the suspension brackets but I don't think so.

Not so much progress as as I would of liked but never the less, I've made all my wishbone jigs and made a start on them but got side tracked with the rear uprights



Added a bit to the jig to help position the tube and side plates

I've rotated the front plate as from what I can work out it should make the handbrake cable on the rear discs fit better,
Does it look right to everyone?

Also I think the 66mm in the drawing below should be 70mm, I've posted a thread here if anyone can help

Rosco, do you know what engine you will be fitting? Most engines won't fit with the diagonal chassis rail in the engine bay on the drivers side so it is usually removed. Also if you are considering fitting a zetec then you may want to modify the rear up-most chassis member in the engine bay as you can't fit a standard thermostat housing with the chassis member there. You can buy aftermarket thermostat housings but they are stupidly expensive and don't work very well.
