Progress & what other brackets do I
big_wasa - 7/6/08 at 12:13 PM

Head lights are mounted

I want to get the chassis painted in the next week or so so....

Hard to tell from the pic but what other brackets do I need to add ? What have I missed that needs welding on.

Engine and rad fully mounted ect I am thinking of the little things.

Front brake flex hoses I was going to mount on the fiber glass side panels.

Is that good practice ?

cheers for looking.

Re front brake flexi's - thats fine.

I think you've got it pretty much sorted.

Maybe you could add a couple of M6x25 bolts welded to the chassis in a couple of places (front end/under dash/back end) for earth points?

Cheers,
Steve

earth points, hand brake mountings, harness mountings...

how are you mounting the battery, GRP nose / other panels?

radiator mountings??

Tabs for the front brake flexis? (assuming that you're going to fix them to the chassis and not the bodywork).

Bracket for the horn? How is the front number plate fixing? Just a couple of the ones I forgot

Cheers

I hadnt thought that far ahead

Rad / horn and "most" of the earth points done.

Ive not sussed how I am going to mount the nose yet hmmmmm

and still need to make a braket for the handbrake cables.

Just cut the nose out and made the grill

Cheeky wee bit of ali plate fixed under bottom of chassis then under nose?

If you are rear IRS, then same need for rear brake flexi fixing brackets.

Fuel pump

Chassis number (mine was stamped on a plate and welded to the chassis)

Seat mounting brackets?

Looks like you've got it covered, Apart from your engine mounts You have made a realy big mistake

They should be BEC not CEC you know deep down its the way to go

big_wasa - 7/6/08 at 08:38 PM

Dont ^^

there are only two reasons for not changing to bec.

First is lack of return on the zetec

second is ,it would take me another year to make the brakets

locoR1 - 7/6/08 at 08:46 PM

Sounds like your nearly converted

I really need to take you for that blast I promised you! that should do the trick
