I've managed to lose mine somewhere in the workshop anyone have one lurking around ?

I have a set of 13" pilots with about 6000 miles use £40? (the lot) Heathfield E Sussex.

Has anyone had experience of cutting and shutting the sump for a zetec?

I am getting hold of an alloy 2l mondeo sump and know a local engineer who can weld alloy. What I need are some diagrams of suitable baffle positions etc as well as dimensions for the pickup. I have the later Focus engine. Any Ideas.

I will be traveling through London in a few weeks so I will be in contact if I can't find anyone closer. Many thanks.

Thanks allegro, hopefuly someone a bit closer to me will be going, but I may be in touch

I am interested have snet you mail.

Does anyone know of the whereabouts of an alloy sump for a Zetec so I can use it for a Dunnell exchange? an 1800 or 2000 mondeo should do the trick.

Mark, I will take headlamps you have mail

I am looking to machine up some poly vee pulleys for a Zetec.

I need the specifications for the angles pitch etc. Does anyone know where I can obtain these sizes?

There are three wheel cylinder bore size options for the ford axle that I am putting on my car, does anyone know the best size to achieve good brake balance? What is the bore size on the Ital?

Any ideas would be appreciated

I have a late Focus Zetec with the alluminiom sandwich plate. I have taken the sump off but need to remove the steel sump pan from the sandwich plate. They seem to be stuck together like s..t to a blanket. Anyone have any ideas? It seems to have been glued together as well as bolted.

Will the flywheel from an early 1800 Zetec fit a later 2L. Is the bolt pattern the same? The 1800 is from a 95 Mondeo and the 2L a 99 Focus (alloy sump sandwich plate)

I am trying to find out the type of thread for the bolts that hold the bell housing to the box they are slightly more coarse than UNF. Any ideas?

Zetec 1800 flywheel and clutch assembly for 2L later Zetec engine.

I do intend fitting the spacer and would be grateful for the rest of the information. Can you explain why I can't use the 2000 flywheel? Is it possible to use my crossflow starter with a spacer? Is the QH133 the thrust bearing?

Many thanks.

I am currently looking to keep the standard flywheel and clutch on a 2l zetec and mate to an alloy rs 2000 bell housing, does any one know what thrust bearing / releasr arm to fit. I would be grateful of any fitting experiences/ problems etc.

I have allways use an orbital sander with some thick cotton in place of the glasspaper. You dampen the cloth and put polish on the aluminium, this way you can polish the whole car in one hour while having a pint or two of beer. A much cheaper and safer option than an angle grinder type polisher, it also just fits between the louvres.

Can anyone advise on chassis modifications required to replace the Ital axle with the Ford? Zetec going in soon so advice welcome.

Looking for a ford alloy bell housing for Zetec conversion.

Does anyone out there have experience of the different inlet manifolds available for throttle bodies in terms of cost, quality of fit and size from face to face. Burtons have a Zetec manifold that is 90mm face to face, has anyone fitted one of these? How far did the filters sit out of the bonnet?
