Le Mans MK1

[RUDDY]

Well we got the engine bay harness semi installed last week, a couple of connectors still to fit to it, got to say the quality is spot on, just the time its took thats annoying. Have found position for ECU and new fuseboard/relay board which hopefully wont be too intrusive. Started running battery cable to kill switch and also had another guy round from MSPORT to look at making up some fuel lines.

TBH I think we might not make The Lakes

So boys, these MK1 6 clock dashes worth much these days, chopped a minter up today on the owners orders,only needed some of it to make a custom dash with retro-modern dials

Small update, had the rad and intercooler back out for some mods. The intercooler needed a bit of an angle added to the outlet to mate with the throttle body and the inlet side needed a few angles added and reduced to give us a chance of getting a hose on and meeting the turbo. Now I know some will say that the chopping and mitre'ing will reduce efficiency but its only running standard bhp anyway.

Been trying in vain to get a new standard fuel regulator that fits on the end of the fuel rail so have temp fitted a billet type regulator to see if we like it, at least the colour matches the vernier pulleys.

Also had some movement on the wiring front, guy who does the harness has been busy back at MSPORT on the Fiestas but we have progress and its coming on.

I strongly doubt we will be at the Lakes with it

Cheers, Paul

Earlier in this resto you saw a pic of a nice 6 clock dash being sacrificed for the surround, been working on this again, trimmed a piece of alloy and bonded into original cowl/surround, quick splash of satin black and then the new gauges.

I would have liked to keep the original look of the 6 clock layout but couldn't find gauges of the right size to allow this, so we have a 5 clock dash

The gauges are Racetech but the voltmeter looks slightly out of place because of the red bits, it is however the right gauge for this set. The others are a split water/oil temp and a boost which I dont think the original clocks had

The little holes are getting LED's for various functions.

Cheers, Paul
