Thanks to all who responded, the logical thing for me is to go with all the ford parts as suggested, as modifying other manufacturers parts to fit would involve engineering skills I don't have. I cannot identify whether Mk 3 or 3.5 as no donor car was involved. Engine was sourced direct from Ford and most other parts were new. Is there a difference between the two regarding the wishbones ? ( I know that there are PAS and non PAS versions ) Sorry about the delay, I did try to post an answer earlier but it fell down a cyber hole (my fault ) On Friday, June 28, 2013 8:34:01 AM UTC+1, Jim Hearne wrote:
