shhhhhh !!!

Ahh I wondered how this arrangement worked!

Well done gents, your doing a grand job



.......and I think my 3 hours work on the entire build was key to whole project

[knuckles]

6mm feed pipe removed from the car - easy peasy !





Trying out the new pipe bender on the 8mm copper pipe i purchased a while back.





This is the outcome... ruined the pipe. Not happy at all.

[jayrs]

do as i said on msn mate, should be alright then

[Rhinopower]

Fill pipe with water, freeze it, then bend it

[knuckles]

how do i freeze a 2 meter lenght of copper pipe ?
Roll it up again

so fill it ,cap it , freeze it , bend it

[Rhinopower]

Yeah freeze it when it's rolled up!

[jayrs]

dont waste ya time freezing it.

do it as i said on MSN, or get ya self a bending spring for this size pipe

[SEG1]

your a good bender!

the plumbers i know use an extra bit of metal between the pipe and bender to stop that happening.usually comes with the pipe bender and there are different sizes ,but we are talking about 14mm copper pipe to 22mm .

[jonyb4]

im sure you gotta inch your way along the bend while bending it? so your not focusing the pressure on one particular spot?

might be wrong though

[rs220bhp]

Those benders will kink the pipe like that when you try to bend a big angle. We used to use them at work but now use a spring as you get a much better curve. I made my fuel lines out of the same copper but got it free from work

[jonyb4]

tricks of the trade eh?

[knuckles]

done a bit more today - im waiting for more copper pipe to arrive so i can try my luck again with the pipe bender. Got the hang of it now and realised you need to bend it slowly to prevent it kinking.



Brand new Fiesta mk2 cvh radiator specially made



Trial fitting the brand new xr2 cvh radiator



The next problem is the radiator bottom outlet faces the Head light. Where on the fiesta mk3 zetec rad the bottom outlet faces the water pump.
i cut up a old bottom fiesta rs turbo bottom rad hose and created a 90 degree bend



Then i placed the fiesta zetec bottom rad hose on. I now need a hose joiner to finish it off. I am eventually going to get a hose made up by roose motorsport using this as a mock up.




Here is a picture of the fuse box ryan added to my current setup. this operates the fuel pump and basically does the job of priming it when you switch on ignition. It uses all original ford wiring.



Neatly connects upto the original fuse box

[~nomad~]

I love Clarks bum

[jayrs]

nice progress mossy

[Ghost]

Sweet as matey!

Cars going to be on the road in no time!

[knuckles]

Looking good! Whens it gonna be running?

fuel lines are holding me up atm

im having trouble bending the copper fuel line to match the 6mm steel one from the car. Keeps kinking.

Jay sending over a box of goodies that should be here friday

[knuckles]

Escort mk5 zetec top rad hose cut either end and fitted. New fan switch fitted



Modified fiesta mk3 zetec bottom hose. 35mm alloy hose joiner installed between and clamped up.




Special delivery from roose motorsport this afternoon.
90 degree bend 16mm flurolined silicone hose to go from the tank to the pump. the straight bit i installed last week has kinked in middle restricting flow to pump. so once i cut this one down a tad it will be perfect fit



Fancy new fuel filter connectors from ford, these basically connect the rubber flexy line from the metal feed pipe to the filter. Then from Filter to the Feed pipe to the Fuel rail.




Not long to go now !

[jayrs]

coming on nice mate, you best let me have a go in it when you come over.

you should have them bits tomorrow

[knuckles]

loving the state of my garage at the mo, so full of cr@p to the ceiling

[jayrs]

ah thats a nice pic for the pikey thread

[knuckles]

New parts from jay arrived friday morning


zetec air intake , zetec aitbox complete



mk2 xr2 cvh fan and housing


Mk2 mondeo servo/master cylinder & speed sensor


Top rad hose and switch fitted


fuel filter located and plumbed in




fuel lines all plumbed in now. 8mm return hose was made out of steel pipe in the end. The copper pipe was too soft and was kinking on the 90 degree bends.
Pump to tank has a flurolined roose motorsport hose.







Had it started briefly to make sure it all works. Fuel pump is very loud !
Exhaust is being done tomorrow

[Rhinopower]

If your going to drive it back tomorrow make sure that crossover pipe is secure, if it falls off on a zetec it just wont run, and obviously you need the maf connected.

Looks very nice tho!

[jayrs]

sweet as mate, nice to see its happened in a short time, and there you was flaming over it when i told you not to worry

i'll get some gas for the welder and some metal sorted out as your bound to want to me knock something up for it when ya come over
