Danny what is the sputnik (quality name) supporting? it looks like its attached to the gearbox and then to the suspension arm mount??

It cant be a gearbox mount as I can see that in the top of the picture

THe sputnik goes from the chassis (uses the same bolt as the bottom arm and then goes to 3 points on gearbox/engine block.

I am presuming it's a torque mount, is there another on the other side? mind you it's a Ford so it could be made out of spaghetti & it would have enough strength to control the torque of a Zetec

On the timing end their is currently only the rubber mount on the back of that there will be another mount that triangulate.....

On the gearbox end there is the sputnick and another rubber mount and then on the front there will be another mount which is the one I am making is for the front.of the engine (inlet side)

I'm still not convinced about that front of engine or is it rear of car, torque mount, it just looks wrong, I think you need to tie it into the bottom rail as well

That is a very tight fit on the Manifold Danny, does it still clear when the engine rocks on its mounts??

well....

no, the engine is pretty solid now

Where that manifold nearly touches I can remove a bit of that panel and there is loads of space

It will be a nice indication when I break an engine mount

Rich we did suggest that he made a little fish boiler on the other side of the firewall so that when he broke down he'd have a warm meal to keep himself going until recovery arrived

Danny, is that your back box? I still have the Scorpion back box from the buggy which could do the trick and its stainless and has the additional drop in baffle to keep it quiet, i think the inlet pipe is 1.75 inch (i think) I can get some photos if you like

Hiya yes that's the kind of thing I am after.

If you have some photos that would be great and some.measurements as well

 

[ChaosMS]

OK I will dig it out tomorrow and take some photos and measure it up for you

 

[Danny]

Perfect thanks

 

[ChaosMS]

Danny its looking good, apologies for not digging out the back box - forgot all about it, to be honest i think it would of been too small for you, what you have now looks far better (and also looks like its strippable (end caps look like they can come off )
How many new fiberglass panels did you have to get as it looks like only one rear arch is original.
It does have a good looking rear end (Are we allowed to say that or is that car-ist ??)

 

[Danny]

Hiya

Yeah figured you were busy

The back box is off a riot so fits well

I bought another mojo to use as spares... so pretty much all the fibreglass will be new now

Progress is slow but have been doing a lot of maintenance on our office building and generally busy with life.

Hoping to get it to stoneleigh but every job opens up 10 more jobs to do first...
