More confused than ever now,

Sounds like i can do what i want as there are lots of conflicting views.

Still like the chrome strip. can someone tell me where i can get it from as its not in the moss or rimmer catalogue

 

Thanks ian

So whats the answer?

I have a 71 cp car, do i use a beed or sealant

Next one, do i use sealant round the rest of of the panel where the it bolts to the inner tub?

Do all tr6's have the rubber strip between the top of the wing and the deck lid [the bit in front of the boot lid ] or do some have seam sealer?

 

thanks Ian

Nice one

 

Ian

[2 questions]

First one will seem a bit stupid. But i bought the car as an abandond project in boxes and only have manuals as a reference,so not sure how everthing goes together.

Do the fuel pipes and the exhaust go through the hole made by the 2 plates in the chassie under the propshaft?

 

Anyone know of a cleaner I can use to get my brake fluid reservoir back to white instead of yellow as it is now

 

Thanks Ian

[brake pipes]

excellent thank you

[brake pipes]

Hi, anyone got any pics of how the brake pipes are run from the flexy pipe to the drum at the back and how they go round the front suspension.

I can't find any good pics in any of the manuals i've got

Also what colour should the cross tube be [the bar that goes between the front suspension in front of the engine

 

cheers Ian

[nut+bolt plating]

Thanks for the info

Just done google and found a place near me, so will give them a ring. I did think it would be cheeper and better quality to get it done professionally

[nut+bolt plating]

2 things, has anyone used the plating kits you can get from frost and what type of plating should the nuts and bolts have?

 

thanks ian

[Bolting down tub]

Thanks for the info guys. This is turning into a right mare, i was planning on having the tub in paint by the end of summer but i don't think that will happen now.

Put new inner and outer back panel on it which was a walk in the park,then thought the front panel and front inner wings could do with changing. The new panels don't fit,nothing lines up, nothing is level, well p----d off.

So now have to build the car with self tappers then take it apart and weld it up, not happy its going to take forever

Hi Ian,

 

think of it as the difference between boys' toys and Big Boys' Toys . . . .

 

Cheers,

 

Alec

 

 

Don't you mean boys toys and old men in cloth caps toys

Theres nothing like the sound or sight of a mk2 on a rally stage

Hope youve got a workshop manual,parts book and a haynes manual to help you along,as otherwise it just like a jigsaw puzzle!

 

 

 

Tell me about it Give me a mk2 escort anyday.

Got a workshop manual and a moss catalogue.

I expect alot of you will think this a stupid question but how do you bolt the tub to the chasis?

I'm new to this tr stuff [ always done fords before this] i bought my tr as an abandond project in boxes and i don't no how to put it together

Anyway i want to put the tub on the chasis and i've got this bag of bolts,rubber pads,metal plates and thick c shaped washers and i don't no where they fit.

I know where the rubber and metal plates go but in what order? do the rubber bits go under the tub and the metal plate on top?

Where do the c shaped washers go?

Last one do you just bolt the tub down or do you have to put packers in where the tub don't tuch the chasis
