Paddy gti Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Unbelievable mate. Well done on the rescue effort. Hopefully someone knows who the youths were.im not holding my breath tbh police didnt bother coming out they never do where i live, will just be given a crime number and the case will be closed in 7 days as is their usual procedure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Sorry to hear about that. There's something I've been wondering about for a while over whether or not a magnetic clutch from a air con pump would line up properly if everything was machined so it could be fitted to the power steering pump. It would be handy to turn it on and off for more precise steering feel and might even save a quid or two on a long journey. Anyway I'd like to ask if you could take a photo showing both pumps from the same angle as this pic? http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/Superdream84/escort/9B744171-334D-4F6A-B9DB-FF3729822755_zpsq1ilznew.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mex Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Thank for that. The Engine is looking great by the way. I really like the little touches like the anodised bolts for the cam cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the little touches like the anodised bolts for the cam cover.It is a bit obsessive lol thinking of the best looking way to attach things the anodised bolts were a pain wrapping my Allen keys in paper so as to not chip the anodising off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
