i once cut out some 2 by 4 covered in exhaust paste that was pretending to be an out rigger on a mk 2 tina. some peoples handy work scares me. loving the exhaust. the silencer should still be usefull though

wow thats cool nice collection well done i would love to have even half of that

hello jo got mine yesterday. my mum took it from the postman as he knocked the door coz of the size but the calender wont go through the letter box and it was totaly wrecked. it was soaked and over half open and folded in half even with the big red letters DO NOT BEND on the enverlope. and this is how he handed it to us. she complaned to him and got a complaints number which i will ring and give them some food for thought. but as you can imagen i was gutted. will keep you posted on the outcome. here are some images of what royalmail find exceptable to deliver face to face. i dont no how the guy had the balls to stand there and deliver it as if all was ok.

thanks for all the responces. the special tool was kinda what i thought i had to do. have had the shaft out before and had split it from the inner cv like you segested when i did the clutch a while back i did try to tap it out then on the bench but it didnt seam to budge. may be it did a little coz when i got it back together 2nd gear somtimes is a little hard to select. i had readjusted the cables to ford/haynes spec so i no there some were near. as i got a whole new shaft was gonna replace the lot but now im thinking im gonna split the new one and seeing what happens as for the shaft i have a knocking noise on the nearside front the drive shaft is the only front part i havent changed the rest is new. ie new rack, track rod ends, dampers, top mount, lower arm, arb links, its driving me nuts now and its getting worse. thanks for ur help

ok mate thanks just wanted to make sure it was ok to do so

does anybody know if you need to run those rubber pads inbetween the axle, leafspring and damper mounting plate. ??????? thanks matt

i got my kit from burton it consists of a bracket that replaces the brake drum back plate so you got something to bolt the caliper to and then you need to get your halfshafts turn down to fit inside the disc. you will also need longer studs as the disc wall that mounts to the hub is alot thicker than a drum. it uses sierra rear calipers and i think there fiesta front discs. the kit also came with cables pads and shims. cant remember how much this was but you can by this kit in various stages ie customer to suply own calipers ect hope this helps

yeah i felt it in guildford my glass cabnet was shaking it woke me up.

did mine that way two

idealy you need two, one to hold the top ring and the other to turn the bottom ring to lock out on the top ring. hope this helps
