Forgive me but it sounds like you need an MK kit?!?!? Would be easier quicker and probably cheaper to buy a kit from MK and flog the chassis you
have.
Is it an MK chassis? Didn't think they sold them on their own?
I could maybe help with a few bits. Ill look in the garage tonight.
I bought the whole lot, paid someone to do it and they didnt complete it and its all im left with.

Do you know if the chassis was designed to take a specific engine?
MK usually fit engine mounts in the chassis to fit the engine of your choice.
Perhaps post some pictures of the chassis , this way we can help to advice on the best parts to complete the job.

Hi Colnago_Man,
Thanks for your advise, i didnt realise that! Yes it was intended to have an R1 engine in it.
I will take some photos tonight and upload them.
The wishbones are fitted, along with brakes lines, steering rack and a fuel tank but I can't get on with the build until i get some parts.
Cheers
I have front sierra hubs, cal's if they're any use to you, also have a diff push in shaft type, and a set of rear calipers
Sorry double post!!!!

Hi
Iv got two front hubs fitted with new discs ,refurbished callipers, new pads and MK mushrooms .
Two rear hubs with new brake shoes and cylinders a 3.60 diff and two drive shafts (One reconditioned) Fitted too MK rear uprights but the R/H side is
bent.
Steering column with switch gear extension piece and shrouds. original Sierra steering wheel
The three pedals from an Mk
Complete set of rear lights stop/side/indicator and fog
I've got a central rear view mirror (you didn't mention it but you will need one) - see
here. I have also got a standard Halfords type square rear fog light.
Also, off the top of my head, you will need:
- radiator and hoses
- seat belts/harnesses
- dash switches

Thanks for the info Simon,
If anyone can think of anything else i need to get i'll add it to my ever increasing list.
I have 1 unused wide black Triton seat in black and black bonnet from an MK Indy with a cut out for an MK pinto exhaust.
The bonnet is in fair condition with a few scratches but I belive nothing that a polish wouldn't sort out.
David
name and shame who ever f**ked you over 
good luck with the build but im with liam buy a new kit from MK or keep an eye out on here or
ebay for a part built kit
Here's the list I made at the satrt of mine. I think it icludes mst things except tooling. Obviously if you buy an engine/gearbox/clutch package
as 1 unit with all the ancillaries, you don't need a lot of the bits. Also you may or may not choose to replace bits or service the engine,
tuning bits etc all add up. Some of the things on the list can obviously be broken down to individual components.
Don't forget to look in the 'for sale' section on this forum, I'm sure you will get quite a lot of bits cheap on there.
Best of luck
Hugh
Hi Hugh,
Thats quite a comprehensive list! Thanks!
atm i just want to get started but have to source all the bits first 
Remember - you dont need everything at once - Get a few bits, refurbish/paint them while looking for the next batch of bits. Remember you need to get
the uprights that match your wishbones to get the right geometry.
Regards
Hugh

Hugh, Dont i just need any old sierra ones?? Are they not all the same then?
I can sell you everything you need to finish the build, conveniently already bolted together and complete with recently acquired registration
As said - Any sierra ones will do as long as your wishbones were made for sierra not cortine, mx5......
Regards
Hugh

mounts look like they are for an R1
have a look here!
don't know about MKs, but looks like some bargains gere i think!

Definitely R1,
Therefore you need to edit your original kit list to remove 'gearbox' and 'engine mounts'.
But add
Engine cradle (from MK)
Power commander
SpeedoHealer
Maybe worth to keep the thread alive by updating your wishlist regulaly, you'd be suprised what might come up over the winter months.
Have a look here for a good source of engines. They will also help with the loom and the clocks.

Click here for a explanation of power commanders. Much better words than I could every come up with.

Speedohealer is required if you are going to use speedo that comes with the original bike (most builders do this). The circumference of you kit wheels
will be different from those on the original bike so a speedohealer adjusts the calibration of the speedo accordingly.
