can any one tell me what part this is?

i think its part of the gearbox mounting assembly the part number is 84fb-6053-ab

g68190

[paradox]

I think this is where its supposed to fit but can anyone confirm it for me?

maybe someone could have a quick look under there car to see if they have a spare 5 mins

[Ollybee]

The part you have pictured does look like it should go where you say, however not on the mounts you have there.

The mounts you have pictured look like HCS mounts and the pictured part I have only seen as part of the zetec mount.

Could be wrong though!

[paradox]

all those parts are the original parts from my cvh xr2i the only brand new parts are the ford rubber parts and there exactly the same as the old ones that came off

[Ollybee]

Never played really with a cvh so I don't know but the those engine mounts look identical to hcs ones which don't use the illusive part.

[paradox]

well cheers for replying anyway mate

hopefully someone will come along soon and let me know exactly


im not looking forward to putting the rest of the car back together as im sure theres going to be loads of puzzling pieces i cant figure out

[paradox]

can someone have a quick look at there car and tell me if ive got that part in the correct place please

[jayrs]

it goes on the back mount (near bulk head) between the rubber mount and the craddle, the bit lump part sticks out towards the gear box from the top

if that makes sense mate.

[jayrs]

just looked at the picture again, you got it in the right place and the right way up

have ya got any more pic's mate, looks good, thinking that i should of stuck with the idea of doing my box silver ( last min done it black) and the craddle does look good in silver too

[paradox]

thanks for your help mate

few more pics below

[petrol_head]

i dont know what the part no. is or where it goes as my fiesta isnt here at the mo, but that gearbox looks the muts nuts.

Jack

[jayrs]

any time mate, any time.

looks good mate, now ya got to get it on the engine and back in the car without scratching it!! and i got that to come too

what colour ya painted the block? i done mine silver which was the main reason i gdone the box black, even though i got a can of silver paint special for it

[paradox]

thx petrol head

jay rs mate i dont have an engine as yet but when i do i will be painting the block silver and doing the sump and rocker cover blue.
Im going to wrap everything in bubble wrap tape and rags when i come to lift it into the engine bay then peel it off as i go along to try and minimize scratching it

[XRMike]

Going by the amount of detail on that gearbox,i can imagine how the rest of the car will turn out

[jayrs]

yeah i hear that, i dont wanna scrach up the box, engine or the inner wings so it will be wrapped also mate, but i got a few cans of different colours (black, silver and red( just in case

[paradox]

if the worse happens and i do scratch anything i will just use an airbrush to touch up that area and hopefully it will blend ok.

I managed to fit my painted rear beam and antiroll bar drums etc on my own without scratching them which was a mix of luck and taking my time i think.

When it comes to the engine and gearbox i will put them on a padded trolley and lift the shell over the top of them before lifting them into place which should hopefully give less chance of scratching anything

[jayrs]

cool

i got the task of fitting my rear beamtomorrow or saturday, if i do it friday i will be on my tod, but then again its just the bean and ARB, the hubs and disc etc are not on it yet.

as for the padded trolly, i do have a trolly but its not the best, well in fact its the bottom end of a tesco trolly that was er......just laying there by the side of the road next to my hacksaw

[paradox]

just dont drop the beam on your chest whilst your fitting it mate belive me it hurts

@the shopping trolley

the trolley i have is one bakers use to carry the stacked up bread trays on i just gave it a timber and plywood base and put foam on to it

[paradox]

thats the beam on mine but its all got to come back off again for a colour change and ive also got avo coilovers to refurb paint and fit now

[jayrs]

yeah i got to do something with my trolly too.

why the colour change? what colour you doing? blue?

[paradox]

im not painting the shell red any more so i decided on the blue and silver colour scheme for underneath which should compliment the new colour im having

[paradox]

thats a photoshop that was done for me it sort of gives you an idea of it in blue and silver

[jayrs]

looks good mate.

whats going on with the rear panel?

[paradox]

i welded a new part of a quater panel on the right hand side and a filler cap repair panel on the left hand side and painted the valance black but then decided i didnt like it and even though it wouldent been seen i thought it looked gash so i started stripping it back to bare metal.
when the shells sprayed it will be painted the same colour as the rest of the car

[paradox]

oh and the shape cut out of it is so the valance doesent show around the edges of the back bumper im using

[xmadxmoex]

i think hes onnabout the cutout?

anyways mr para.. looking great that g-box is..

i remeber getting underseal everywhere one fine afternoon under that car

[jayrs]

oh and the shape cut out of it is so the valance doesent show around the edges of the back bumper im using

ah thats what i was wondering

[paradox]

i think hes onnabout the cutout?

anyways mr para.. looking great that g-box is..

i remeber getting underseal everywhere one fine afternoon under that car

yeah i thought that after i had just posted its been like that for so long now i fogot id even done it

and yeah moe removing all the old underseal to get the bottom back to bare metal is not a job i fancy doing in a hurry again it was nice of you to give me a helping hand but spraying the waxoyl underbody seal on was even messier i had black arms and face for about a week after that

[jayrs]

overalls and a face mask, thats what i had for my dad when he sprayed the uinder side of my car the other day, best bit is the face mask was mine from work well my old job so the filters filtered out the smell to

as for black face and arms, i got black spots all ove my leg and i wasnt even spraying it, i was just preping something under the car while my dad made a start on the rear inner arch

[paradox]

i just chucked my overalls in the bin after doing the underside that stuff gets everywhere and doesent shift nomatter how hard you try getting rid of it so it must be good at doing its job.

theres 8 litres of the stuff in and under my car

[xmadxmoex]

im sure ill lend a hand when you come to put it all together mate

[paradox]

im sure ill lend a hand when you come to put it all together mate

i might take you up on that mate or at least have your car at the side of me as a referance when im struggling to remember how it all goes back together

[jayrs]

8 damn, im up to 3 but then again i didnt scrap my old stuff off as there was nothing wrong with it, i just cleaned it off and gave it another coat or 3

still im not finished yet, got another litre today and a litre of wax oil (which he gave me for free ) so cant wait to get all that done and out the way so i can get on and build it back up.

i was doing well this week then it rained yesterday, rained today and knowing my luck will prob rain for the next 2 weeks
cant do much as im doing my car outside

[paradox]

yeah 8 litres but its not all gone underneath after spraying clear waxoyl into all the sills and panel joins etc i sprayed the undebody sealent inside the rear panels and inside the front doors and tailgate cavity inner wheel arches etc as it helps dampen noise and with waxoyl on both sides of most panels theres less chance of the dreaded tin worm taking hold.
Ive still got to dynamat the whole of the interior floor and bulkhead yet also in a bid too make the car quiter and feel more solid but im not looking forward to the cost involved for that lot.

And for the weather i know exactly what you mean its a pain in the ass

[jayrs]

yeah i got to get some of that, not going to the exstent you ar but i need some ro put on my rear quarters and want to put some more on the doors when i get them

have you got yours yet? if so whats the cost of it
