im gonna use the original mounting bolts as there captive to the shell then use the original seal and a metal plate made by me :D just need some sheet metal now.

i guessed it would looking at ak's

ill try and get some tomrow
ps when the heater motor etc is removed it leaves a big hole between the engine bay and the interior
am gonna make up a plate with a rubber seal to fill it

ive got a xr2i janspeed manifold for sale if you want it

ive also found an xr2 engine. 1.6 8v carb 90bhp group 9 insurance for £100 just need xr2i manifold, top mount and downpipe and 1.6s wiring loom

can you egt lots of pics, i feel J18 needs this treatment

:D

to bypass the heater matric you pull the two pips off it then simply join them togther
im gonna look at mondeo coolent pipes next and simply get a shorter one and link it str8 up.

as for the de-mist you can get little ceramic electric heaters mount that up and aim it at the window.

also found out that the xr2i came with a heated window :D :D so if we fit one of them then a heater wont be needed :thumbs:

adam any chance you cna get some detailed pics of how your bypassing the heater matrix, also what is marc gonna do when glass steams up etc

imagine spagetti that been exploded over the place

ill try and get pics before its taped up again :thumbs:

:lol:

the heater motor and box etc have now gone

and i unwrapped the loom and removed interior circuit stereo loom and heater loom

:D next up the heater matrix is goin when we find a suitible pipe to join the two pipe together and we need a plte to cover the hole up where the heater motor was :lol:

oh and need some tape to wrap the loom up again as it everywhere atm

yup an a lil panel for the fuse box

Qualeteh!

Just secure the dials in place, its all you need in there :P That and instrument switches!!!
