Cosworth boa manaul box

[Luke]

yeah top idea but by the time you've made some your half way to making a pair of these



then you can add a couple of turbos

[rob hall]

Thanks m8, but still can work out how to sort the? starter problem

[Luke]

whats the problem - starter not meshing with the flywheel

[Luke]

just read - not strong enough odd one

i know that my svo one was the same as the granada but the pinion had 1 tooth different - mabe it was 1 less to gear it up a bit i think it was 9 tooth how many is yours

[rob hall]

10 teeth on the starter, its a pinto starter, I got it when I bought the adaptor,flywheel,they all came off a pinto transit. Im told that the v6 starter wont do as it has 11 teeth.

[Luke]

mine must have 10 and the granada 11 then

have you seen the engine running and does it turn over by hand easly

[rob hall]

yep,engine turns over by hand and was running fine before I pulled it out!

[Luke]

i wonder if the starter isnt meshing with the flywheel correctly - too far in or something

i'd have thought thats more chance of being the problem

[Gavin]

try it with the plugs out?


is the clutch dragging?

[rob hall]

Progress

Engine mounts done
Downpipes removed -due to catching on front cross member
Oil in gearbox
Gear lever fitted

[rob hall]

got the starter back today, so will fit it tomoz! Also got my new fuel line,8mm insulated copper pipe,going to run it inside the cab and though the bulk head,

[rob hall]

Also trail fitted rad and fan, but fan was touching the engine pulleys so going to remount the fan to the front of the rad! ,

[Luke]

making good progress

personally i wouldnt run fuel lines inside the cab - last thing you want in an accident is a split line pumping fuel inside the cab

[rob hall]

Which way would you run the fuel lines ? The original lines run to close to the exhaust for my liking!

[Luke]

i see your point i ran mine tied up to the floor and over the exhaust - mine had enough air space but you could get a heat insulation to put over them if its close - i'd still rather go that way than inside the cab - not sure but it might be an MOT fail it's not allowed in racing
