The cvh is now out of the car and the modifications to the frame have been started. Scary moments as this is being done 15 miles away and my only car currently has no engine in it!! My brother is taking photos as he goes and I will post these as soon as the job is done.
Does anyone have the fuel flow and pressure requirements for the fuel pump to use with the zetec? My brother has a Facet pump sitting on the shelf that came out of a yank motor, my guess would be that this would fill the requirements but would prefer to check that it isn't going to give me too much pressure.

Or even themselves? They told me they would accept a statement from a garage of the chassis number (and the garage had to fit the chassis plate), but wouldn't accept that I could fit the plate and they could check the number --- absolutely bizarre! I just ignored them, fitted the chassis plate and they checked the number - job done. ----- Original Message ----- >From: Mark Miles >To: [email protected] >Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2011 3:18 PM >Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 Zetec conversion > > >I have just got off the phone from what has to be my least stressful call >ever to the DVLA.
