Got another couple of days working on the 20vt conversion... I think I've finally solved the issues of the drive shafts; the 22 spline input/23 spline output on the CV joint appears to be 1.0-1.6 Mk2 Fiesta - which is what I thought in the first place - but the supply place delivered XR2i parts which are *not* compatible. This also ties in with the shocks; I found a tiny marker on the shocks which googled back to the same 1.0-1.6 Mk2 Fiesta.
So the proper parts should be with me in the morning - specifically, CV joints and bearings - and then things should actually fit in the wheels and steering department. Got the Ford bolts and 60 degree washers from Rallydesign - unfortunately someone put their hand into the wrong bin and they sent flat nuts instead! Rang them yesterday afternoon, many apologies, said they may not have them in for a couple of days but they arrived this morning complete with stamped return envelope; kudos to Rallydesign for that one. The Focus wheels seem somewhat better located this way. Spent the rest of today working out the best place for the Fiat pedal box. This contains the vacuum reservoir and servo on the driver's side of the bulkhead; it needs a large cutout for the master cylinder, but it only protrudes a couple of inches through the bulkhead. The clutch master cylinder (it's hydraulic on the Fiat) is also on the inside of the car, but it's on a sufficiently flexible link that there's a small amount of movement around there. Let's see how tomorrow goes. It's starting to get the stage of taking the engine out again to run in the loom and paint the subframe...
