Re: AW3K and Tora1023's fiesta bertie
well i bet most of you thought this was dead . it certenly isnt
birth of my son etc
made a little progress but as most parts had been stored in a leaky garage it got damaged, mainly the gaskets
first up my local motor factor is a star they let me draw round a gasket from a new pump. no where but ford sold the gaskets separate, not paying £12 ish for a bit of paper.
pump fitted
new inlet gaskets
new looking maf and throttle body and box of hoses and bits
finally some more of the wiring re-taped
ordered all stainless steal fixings which should be here tomorrow, also changing the colour of the cam cover and sump.

Does the alternator not use the bracket as its earth route? Or have you still got unpainted areas of the bracket where it mounts to the block and alternator? Just looked like you'd painted the entire thing from the photos!

Hi Simon. Long time no speak. Yeah the back is unpainted so are the mounting points on the block.
I do need to remove some paint from where the alt bolts to the mount.
