NEW Project 2 2004 Connect T200 LX (Pic Heavy)

I guess it's a standard fit in more hot and dusty environments?

Well with the current heat wave we have at the moment, I would say it's a "hot and dusty environment"

Finally, Fuel feed pipe has arrived & obtained the later throttle pedal.



New Ford badge for rear O/S door is alot chunkier.



I purchased a 6sp gearbox from Ebay, unfortunately it's no good, outer casing is cracked !
looks like it's been removed from an accident damaged vehicle. Now currently waiting for seller to respond

New bolts for the bulkhead from Ford £17 for 10 of them
It seems that the little parts are more expensive than the bigger parts
My new rear wheel arch trims were £20 each from Ford



Yes I have had these type of bolts from Ebay in the past, to be honest they are crap & have a tendancy to pull through.
As they say if you want to do a job properly pay a little extra, it's worth it in the long run

Paul, any idea if the leaf springs above sre single or double leaf springs?

The new ones for my connect (SWB) are single spring, I should think the LWB ones are also single.
Although the LWB ones will be alot stiffer that the SWB ones due to the heavier load they can carry.

My current original ones are double or as Ford calls them "with deflector spring"

Available are standard, less attitude/ride height, improved ride height & increased GVM rating ones

see below - several to choose from



I don't think ride height will be reduced much. On the other hand, your connect should handle better
The Tourneo sits lower at the back than ehat the van does.

just need to know how much lower these give and cost.......someone in the ford dealers parts dept you work in should know?
