Cosworth boa manaul box

[Luke]

coming on

not sure what to do with this starter very strange can you post up some pics of how it sits mabe we could spot something

for the pas pump pipe i have them made up at a hydraulics place they charge £30-35 but i think they need the origanal transit one as the rack fitting isnt a standard hydraulic fitting

Thanks luke, ive been told to use a scorpio 2.3 starter as they have a built in gearbox

[rob hall]

Right I think just think I might of found out why the starter wont work, the granada cosworth starter is 1.4 kvw but has 9 teeth
The transit pinto starter has 0.9 kvw and 10 teeth
Escort cosworth starter has 1.4kvw and 10 teeth

What throttle cable do I use?

are you still using the oil cooler if not you can mount the filter direct to the block or get a relocation kit to have the oil filter in a different place

[rob hall]

Yep still useing the cooler ,and order a mocal remote oil filter kit!
So just the wiring left!

[rob hall]

I hate wiring!! Grrrr

theres loads on the loom you can thin out - i binned all the auto box loom the egr stuff also the air con - ends up as a nice small loom

[rob hall]

Hmm I didnt of that!
Another thing was having problem with the starter I thought it wasnt strong enough to turn the engine but when I fitted my new high torque starter that was the same until I pressed the cluch and its fine then, what do you think the problem is with cluch? What can do 2 fix it?

[Luke]

for the wiring go to http://www.fordpower.org.uk/forum2/ there is loads of 24v info on there

as for the clutch - odd one sounds like the box is siezed but i guess that cant be it as you'll have used it before also if you turn the input shaft when its in newtral does it turn ok and not turn the output shaft i assume it does so in the installation you've got i'd be looking at mabe the alignment of the input shaft or something like that have you got any pics of it all

[rob hall]

What if I jack up the rear and turned the prop to see if it turns freely? As for the gearbox being seized, it could be possible as I havent used this box before as it was my spare one! It has been sat in my shed for bout a 8 months. Uu

[Luke]

ok - jack the rear and with the van in neutral turn it over if the wheels turn then look further at the box might be the problem
