Wahey!

Glad it's been printed now - as you say, some people build a car from beginning to end with the intention of landing a feature, I'm sure you're still happy as anythign to have it all in a magazine so you'll never forget

Looks great dude, not sure about the pawn star pose :lol:

Tis one cool cool car :aviator:

Cheers mate!

Yeah I'm a lot happier sitting in traffic (how happy can you be in traffic! :cry:

) now I have a hydraulic clutch - Cables used to go on me all the time -always at the worst possible time, one went whilst I was on the Dartford QEII bridge!!

mate how comes you have two brake servos?

by **jimmyesh** on Mon May 21, 2007 11:41 am

RS_seg :mate how comes you have two brake servos?

Because Remote brake servos can only work on single-line braking systems (they were originally used on MUCH older cars such as MK1 cortinas/escorts etc), I needed one for each line! Therefore I bought 2 AP/Lockheed 2.3:1 servos (NOT cheap! :cry:

)

I had to go the route I did with the brakes as the ST170 throttle AND the gear shift tower BOTH occupy the original space where the fiesta brake servo/master cyl were. I chose the rally design universal balance bar twin m/cylinder assembly as it was much more compact (and allowed me to set my brake bias up) but when I test-drove the car I realised I still needed servo assistance for commuting in traffic! :aaah:

If it had just been intended for the track then I would have just left it without servos but as my missus gets behind the wheel too sometimes I thought I'd better get them fitted!

In hindsight I reckon while the engine and transmission was out, I should have recessed the bulkhead on the driver's side and fitted the focus pedal box AND brake servo complete. That way I could have junked the fiesta's crappy brake cross-linkage and freed up even more space behind the engine! :wink:

Still I can always save that bit of fun for when I get posted back to a working unit and have hands-on all the tools and workshop space again that I am missing SOOO much at the moment! :lol:

CheeRS Atif!

Yeah I wish things were different too and I managed to take it to the next level as well!

but I have a lot going on at the moment and I'm just happy that I managed to create a one-off car and it's in print forever

I used to own a MK1 Escort and I am getting a yearning for another one as my next project (when I can fit it into my hectic life!! :cry:
