Greetings from Argentina! I´m looking forward to do the same thing on my ford cortina (here's called "Taunus"). I didn´t catch from what car is the clutch bell and if you have the messures for the adapter plate to the gearbox i will appreciate it

Great car, takes me back to my days working with Aaron at HTR, you ought to have test driven the 2.4 Pinto Mk2 Escort that I built for Russell Clark in the early 90's, it gave a totally reliable 238 bhp and a ton of torque and the car weighed only 810Kg wet, cheers lads, Roland Hayes, retired ex prop HT Racing Ltd

good job one remark the inner tca bolt should never be fitted with nut pointing the front but should be pointing the rear like that because of steering t-rod they won't be able to get of in case of untight.
