by the time I get the thing finished and on the road I doubt I'll have any teeth left



I thought they were the same but the bush didn't fit in the 205 (think its a 205 one anyway) housing as it was too narrow in diameter

yep, DCC's 2.2 for some reason came with an extended fork, before fitting it we had a dig about in his toolbox and found the 306 item, bashed the bushes out with a socket, popped the 205 bush in the 306 fork and bunged the engine in.

time for an update

I took a few weeks off from the car as I got p**sed off that the gearbox had to come off again I had forgot that the box was setup to go into a 205 and it wasn't until I went to put the gear rods on that I noticed my mistake. Luckily I had the old gearbox to use for parts so last weekend I dropped the box, switched the arms and refitted it.

while the gearbox was off I decided to swop back to the original solid gearbox mount that was on the car when I got it from rikky. can't make my mind up on which one to use the original is winning at the moment as I can put a plate over it and use that area for the electric power steering pump.

this one



or this one (stud was on order with peugeot and has now been fitted)



spent this afternoon fitting my rich_w roller bearing wishbones and phillipm lower strut brace, I couldn't find one of my ratchet extensions so will have to finish the offside tomorrow morning.




and my run of finding bargains on eBay continued as I picked up a DTA S60 Pro ecu with full loom for an absolute steal




the loom was for a Ford turbo setup so it has been stripped back to the basics and an order for my connectors and wrapping has been placed just hoping it all turns up by Saturday as I would like to make a start rebuilding both looms over the bank holiday weekend.

the first mount is on the heavy side but as you say it does have it good points. it was a piece of p**s to remove the gearbox with it fitted. will have a proper look again at it tomorrow i think.

not sure where a third fixing point comes from though Mei?

the M8 hole 30mm forwards from the M12 ones, given its solid mounted I'd use as many as you can get to.

well I have gone back to the mount in picture number 1. it wasn't a hard decision as when I tried to remove the gearbox stud which the other mount uses the sodding thing rounded. ended up losing my rag and took the dremel to it. I have had a look at that M8 hole you mentioned Mei and it looks like it will work

well i finally took the bodies down to the garage so i could measure/plan the engine bay fuel lines. the lines have been made up and are ready to go in the car. I can't wait to get the fitted properly



still a lot to sort on them before i fire them up though. i have worked out i have 14cm of clearance between the bodies and rad so need to start looking into a filter setup.

i have finally found somewhere for the electric power steering pump to go, had to space the mounting bracket out to avoid the drain point on the rad though so that might be a pain in the backside at some point.



i decided to wanted the pump to run with the internal reservoir so i had to strip down both pumps i had and swop bits over. word of warning, don't take the mounting straps off the pump as they are a twat to get back on




the front suspension has been put together with my adjustable top mounts, just waiting for some good weather so i can get back down the garage and get them fitted.



also managed to track down some replacement front hoses for my 6 pot calipers, they are attached to a set of ap racing 8 pots calipers




they are bloody huge compared to the 6 pots, can't see them going under my 15 inch alloys




I have a pair of hi-spec universal brackets to mess around with tomorrow in the hope that i can finally get the 6 pots fitted.

if the small disposal fee is around the four figure mark you got yourself a deal Phillip

had a go at sorting out the universal brackets i picked up for my calipers. a few minutes with the angle grinder and drill and i ended up with this



tested them behind the two sets of alloys I will be using most, TD 1.2's and 2's.






a 315mm rotor would definitely possible with the pro race 2's with these calipers, maybe even a 320mm if i offset the bell backwards a touch

as we are still waiting for a satchshift to be made for the 306 i have bought the custom quickshift gearstick Richard (fordygti) was selling from his car. I missed out on this when it originally came up for sale ages ago when Andre (306 Rxs) started his honda conversion. long term i still want a satchshift though
