HIGHTOWER Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 As above, the pre-tensioner and seatbelt retainer come as one, and its just a case of unpluging it, removing the bolt, removing and refitting a new one! There's a few different designs about, though, so the "wrong" one might not fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minirotty Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 disc and drum cables are different, also ford list a lot of different part numbers Is the van going to be used to pull the track weapon? That the piece that goes through the chasis mate? Mines seems to fit, just a good few inches to short. I don't think it would be legaly possible for this van to tow my track car, would it?

sortedford Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Vans have a longer wheel base too, so you may end up having to make something up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minirotty Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Its the bit of the cable that goes from hane through the chasis so length of van should have nothing to do with it. 1497963[/url]']Van is looking amazing! wish i could do something similar...real inspiration Any poverty spec Escort will do for the heater controls Thanks bud.

theheff Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Liking the van a lot mate. I've just started doing mine. Hopefully go down the rs2000 route as well, once I've rescued the chassis from the rust. Might be tapping you up for a bit of help at some point. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
