Plan on doing a custom dash panel ,,

Well had no motivation of late and done bugger all to the car so time to make an effort

Plan A was to fit an alloy dash panel with electronic speedo and rev counter but never got around to it so went for the cheap option for now

Dash top was ****ed so needed to find a replacement



Found a reasonable item that will do the job and made a few mods to a spare dash pod





Not what I originally wanted but will do for now,,

Will try and progress a bit more over the next few weeks

Those tea strainer filters are crap. If you work out the thickness of the wire mesh you'll realise that the restriction is massive.

any one selling a set to save buying new if I dont like them ,,

I used a set of the webber ones on my Old RS2 zetec and couldn't tell the difference with the fitted or not
I just wasn't happy to run the bell mouths open I'd heard a lot of bad stories too before I bought them ? If it runs shite take em off lol

same here

[paul mex]

Any more thoughts on these ?

Mr Frost says they are too restrictive

Could do with some of those mesh filters that fit over the ram pipes

Any more thoughts on these ?

Where did u get the anodised cup washers and bolts for the strut tops mate? I like them. Cars looking great by the way

[Escortfan_111]

Thanks for the effort Alan!
There is a filter with a depth of 62mm that looks like it will fit.
I will have to get shorter ram-tubes to fit inside though.

[alancdavis]

Due to the strut tower sticking out I will say 2 and a half inch is the max depth for the filter

[alancdavis]

Will do ,,,, have been out of UK for Xmas hols

[Escortfan_111]

Hi Alan
Any more progress with your car?
Please remember to take that measurement for me. I need to order the filter.
Cheers!

[alancdavis]

No you couldn't. far too restrictive.

[alancdavis]
