I still want this - waiting on parts to be delivered from France before work at site near you can commence. Did you find out the cost of postage, save messing you around. Emailed you a week or so ago about it but didn't get a response.

I need the bracket that secures the top of the pedal box to the bulkhead please. RHD and good condition, can be cut out roughly for me to separate. Posted to Stafford, Midlands. Thanks

You can't beat free! This is the chap I was on about: http://www.balljointboots.co.uk Nice bloke, very helpful.

I can't see which one you mean as I can't see photos at work but I have contact details of a guy that sells loads of them in different shapes and sizes. I replaced the ones on the TRE's as the original ones were split (probably someone not taking great care taking them off) and didn't want to go to the expense of another pair of RS2 greens. I'll dig out the details and post them up here when I get home.

Got the cheque while I was away and paid it into my account. Thankyou for your help with getting my refund Simon. Was reading the July issue on the plane (40 years of RS), good issue so far, hope it is a detailed report on how to fit a weld in roll cage as need to do one shortly... Keep up the good work.

Looks really good, soon be finished. Did you get much rust coming through the primer? If not, did you coat it with anything before (e.g. zinc primer)?

It was the one with the special about 25 years of the cos YB I was after. I have since got a copy off ebay, but thanks for the offer. A cheque for the refund is meant to be in the post, I'll post up on here when I get it.

Another month on and still no refund, nearly six months now since my order

This might just be me but I doubt it somehow, I ordered a back issue in February from myfavoritemagazines.co.uk which payment was taken for on 16/02/10 and it then took till April 28th (after a number of emails and phone calls) for them to get back to me saying that the magazine was out of stock and would I like to order another issue or have a refund. I replied back that day that I would like a refund and are still waiting for it, two months later. Is this normal!? Just to add insult to injury (after I bought one off ebay) I saw the issue was on saw at the CF stand at the show at Santa Pod!

Thanks for the replies, you have made up my mind, might see you there! Need some mk2 escort 2-door doors, and a roll-over jig, think I may be hopeing a bit though

Anyone been before? What is it like OSF wise? Details here: http://classiccarshows.org.uk/restor.html

Blackrock sands, Wales? Had loads of fun on there with my old E30 325i beemer until it overheated (sport version so LSD), sand on the back parcel shelf as had to keep the windows open and heater on full

Really nice escorts there! Would have joined you but was at the download festival. Determined to get one of my escorts on the road this year, collecting together a lot of parts from various sources. See you at the next meet.

I've got the front part of the exhaust on my scoob wrapped as it keeps the exhaust gasses hotter and the under bonnet temps down, hotter gasses flow quicker and cooler air going into the engine gives more power. Same can be applied to NA engines, best to keep it cooler under the bonnet. Also why induction kits with forced cold air work better. Soak the wrap in water to make it easier to bend, fit to the manifold and secure with stainless steel ties/wire, bake it in the oven (while the wife is out!) at a low temp to dry it out and set the wrap, then give it a few light coats of high temp paint to keep the moisture out. I've got it on a cast section (the headers) and the up and down pipe and no problems with cracking.

I sent Ford an email saying exactly that (quoted the beetle, mini and fiat 500) about a month or so back via Ford's website but haven't heard anything back. I assume the guy who did the designs sent them in. Old skool styling with modern components underneath would be a winning combination. Looks great, I'd buy one even if it was £20k (would have to go quick though at that price though)
