hi!

i found a pic on this side from a mk3 frst with modified rearbeam.

i can´t find it anymore,but the guy welded a plate over the rearbeam.
anyone know this frst?

is it a good idea?

Alti - the zetec-s is 1.6 and from the Mk5. Here it is:


Some Ka's also had this beam, it's easy to spot as there are reinforcing pieces linking the beam to the hub mount.

all clear,thank you guys!
the only problem is,the mk5 fiesta is very rare in austria,
and i have never seen a mk5 1,6zetec s

so i have to weld a plate in my old beam!

thanks

I doubt he knows/remembers, It hasnt been driven for 2yrs

alti if you look some mk4's and alot of mk5's have the Z-s beam on too basically just have to strike lucky keep your eyes open and as long as the have the extra strength bits on its the correct one i've been to scrap yards and seen quite a few mk5's with the same beam ...modding a mk3 one is harder and too much hassle imo a straight swop is much easier

the zs beam also clears the way for rear discs doesnt it?

[alti]

thank you all!

i was a week in sicily,so i could´nt reply,
sicily is a beatifuly country,fine weather,perfect holidays

i think my main problem is,i bought
new bilstein shocks and h&r springs
for my mk3 fiesta.

the rear shocks are different between mk3 and mk4-5.
mk4-5 has eyes to fix the shocks,so i couldnt use the zetec s rearbeam.

i pm´d mickeyxr2i, i think i will also weld a plate in my rearbeam.

thank you all together

Some ZS Beam's have non-fork type mountings!
