jordan98 9 Posted October 20, 2011 Thanks for the comments. This dash pad was out of a Lotus but is the same as a GT and luckily it's never had a Ewood fitted so no holes. As my car is a Super, so I cut out the original metal dash mounts and welded in GT 1600E dash face. I Used standard Mk2 cortina pedel assembley. Originaly used a hydrolic McCleod throughout bearing for the clutch but once I increased the horsepower of the car it chewed the bearing up so had to change to a cable which is not as light. I drove the car yesterday for the first time in years it's an animal forgot what it's like. In 4th gear at 100mph it spins up. When you get your car done you will know what I mean. Good luck Pete :thumbup: O i no what you mean iv had cosworth escorts befor just not seen any mk2 cortinas (have now x2 mk1 & mk2 on hear :rolleyes:) it will be a year or 2 befor i get this on road i think Thanks pete it will give me some thing to think about :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cossiemk2 0 Posted July 9, 2012 Update on progress of my MK2 as it has been ages since last posting. I have done away with the 4 link, and put back on leafs (Escort MK2 1500lb) and made up tramp bars and mounts and softer springs on front, to make it a bit more easy going on me! Also strenghend both chassis rails over axle, welded bars on boot as there has been a bit of flexing in the rear of the car. If you are going to use 4 link setup the car needs to be full caged. I have repaired the rear wing, and other bits on the shell ready for repaint soon. Pete. Will post up some photos tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
