Started to puzzle a little bit with the ZF gearbox here the other night, thinking of putting toghether a spare one. Will try to make a suitable input shaft out of a Fiat 130 ZF input shaft(and box) welded toghether with a bit of a Ford T9 gearbox input shaft. Will try to take som pictures of it.
While taking measurements for this , I found out that one of the layshaft bearings on the ZF motorsport box had some damage
, so IŽll have to open it to check...fingers crossed for the best...

Best regards Jorn
By the way, I would like to mention that I enjoy this forum very much and I find a lot of good information in text and pictures
.
The Basket Case's, Restoration's and Ongoing Projects threads also contains many fine projects, and I would liked to give more comments and feedback on the respective threads, but time for this is not always available and having english as my second language makes me a rather slow writer whoŽs not allways understanding how you think out on the island in the North Sea.. !

The pedalbox have seen a lot of use and abuse and could do with a reconditioning.
The clutch pedal seem to have taken som beating..!
So I pulled it apart for some new parts and paint.
Seems to be a Gartrac supplied box..?!
Started making a replica of it too... .

Found this picture in a Robson book, I will be aiming to replicate the interior of my car to something similar.
Bought this two new P-lights, but from the picture I will need some more of them.
This is the input shaft IŽm making out of a Fiat ZF box one and one from a T9 box.
Made myself a service fixing/mount for the ZF box out of a wheel bolt from a M.A.N truck...
Now it is serviceable, right..?! Found something worrying
in front off the Motorsport box when taking off a cover, but will be back later with info on that...

Interior shot is definately a 79 car as this was a typical 1979 layout for the interior of a Boreham escort, with the additional control box on the navi side.
Keeping you busy - keep it comingComment

Plenty of P-lights out there, if you know where to look...
Finishing off the ZF box cover with two M8 bolts on top and made a steel lip for connecting to the shell(placed here with self tappers).
Welded trough the holes and then under afterwards.
Cut-out, giving room for possibly a watt-link.
Shaped and stitched up a piece of steel.Last edited by RS 1800; 05-01-2009, 22:11.Comment

Double floorpans....
I thought the best thing was to cut them out!
Continued with the rear floor as well.., making room for the new chassis rail. Now it gets interesting...

The pedalbox fabrication is also coming along quite OK..!

Here mounted on a original mk II pedalbox housing.
Modified brake pedal.Last edited by RS 1800; 01-02-2009, 22:19.Comment

I have cut away the metal bits that was left from the old chassis rail and then adjusted a new one into place.
After welding it in, I started fitting a new floor pan..
.
The threads on the old gearbox mountings werenŽt any good, so they needed to be replaced. Welded up an old crossmember to keep the position right.
Luckily I had replacements lying around.
More work is waiting...
