Well, another week-end over, looking forward to the week ahead & work :>(
So what happened this week-end. Well a lot of work and very little to show for it!, though a major step forward has been taken.
I finally bit the bullet (or should that be billet??) and set to on the steering / pedals bit. I had been putting this of for several sessions now - just did not know how or what to do.
I had been to my local, and very helpful, scrappy and got a MK3 escort (I think he said) inner steering shaft & a non servo MK2 escort master cylinder (designed to be mounted horizontally - essential I thought) along with a float type cap for the fluid pot.
There then followed much sawing, angle grinding (3/4 of a cutting blade on the old escort pedal box alone) filing, removing replacing and re-removing and re-replacing. You get the picture?
Result I now have a working pedal box - well almost, I forgot to shorten the two pillars that hold the master cylinder to the green lines (just visible on the pictures below) before I welded it all together, still I know exactly what is needed to be done to put it right. I did not make such a good bracket for the sierra steering column but the plan is a similar design.
I must say thank-you to Rick H from Aus for his helpful suggestions even though I did not do it the same way, it did get me thinking along the right lines, also thanks to the List for all their past - and future help, and all the other locost web sites around the universe.
