Hi

My building is slowly but steadily forward.

The biggest problem is that I don't have someone I can ask for help.

so I post a couple of questions here and hope for the best.

How do I upload pictures?

Have you also poor fit with the rear link arms? mine is about 1 inch error in the top bracket.

Is it enough with the original radiator?

Sorry for bad english.

re the link arms....you have to use a bit of force to get them in place....a soft hammer will do the trick.

I've tried it on one and it works, but it was dumb.

Looked at your build site, it looks like you are trying to fit the rear uprights to the front lower wishbones, might just be how you have laid them out to photograph them?

If you are not using the car on track you should be fine with a Focus 1.6 non air con radiator;

If you are going to use it on track, the 1.6 radiator isn't enough.
You're going to have to box the floor in - in front of the radiator, to make sure the air doesn't escape under the car, and fit a decent fan at the very least.

I will buy an aluminum radiator for a honda civic with 3 lines.

Hello again.
Time for my first inspection. But I need certificates and manufacturer's name on the steering racket and uniballsen that came with the kit. And specification of the frame. Welding method and matrial.
Anyone have them in digital form that can e-mail it to me, please?

What a scrub you get with alu-up rights from rally design and ET35, or what you are driving at?

Hi

I have some questions.

Do you know where I can buy a throttle cable and handbrake cables?

The drive belt is according to the construction description 1288mm long for the 1,8 motor, but I have read that some use longer and mount an extra wheel. (Idle, I think it's called)
have I missed something?

Regards
Philip

Throttle cable, venhill or eBay for an mgf roadster cable.

Handbrake cables for a focus with rear discs 1998-2004 I think. Not St170 as I believe they are longer. ( slightly).

Check the tech sections for a post on shortening them, also using a mk2 focus handbrake ( my method).
