thought i should update!
went down to the garage and got to work on the ka, its been forgotten last few months as i ve got my own place now so i havent had chance!
first things first today i fitted the new smoked rear lights they look alot better
after that i then removed the dash to get work insdtalled the pedal set and remove the excess wiring now its going to be running on omex
i then removed the ka's pedal box, brake bar, servo and master cylinder
then the new willwood pedal set next to the ka one
then got it all mounted, it was a tight fit with the steering rack but it does fit JUST
then mocked up where the resivour pots should go , i m having them where the air bag cover noramll goes on the dash for easy access
then i secured them, res pots are from left to right, CLUTCH, FRONT BRAKES, REAR BRAKES!
some brackets so it mounted, to the heater matix jus to support it hat little bit more!
then i had a play about with my inlet manifold fitted my escort cosworth throttle body
dash will be refitted, and then it'll be time to fit the engine, and get it mapped see what she makes
also i have to fit the bias adjuster to the dash, this is a very cool bit of kit, adjusts the pedal set, instead of the normal inline fluid adjusters you see!
