That's something i didn't bother to write down. If you ring up a joint like Repco or Bursons they can get the bearing for you, or drop in there to get a " quote ", then you get the number printed up & can compare the price to places like CBC bearings.

Cheers

Just walk into a Bursons or Repco and ask for the bearing. Its a normally stocked item and is like $6 to $8.

The geuinine item from CBC is about $15, and the same bearing from Ford is $30.

Question for Voxace, in your guide you use a 6.8k resistor but recommend the usage of a 7k one if you can find one.

Well theyre pretty much impossible to find, but wouldnt a 6.8k and a 200ohm in series be the same thing?

6.8k should work fine. The auto neutral range is from 6.5k-7.6k. 7k is generally used as a roundabout figure.

Sorry but that post of yours really doesn't make much sense. Do you mean that you have done the conversion, done the wiring mod, but the ECU your using won't run the car?

Well.. If its a factory manual, chances are the netural switch is still plugged in.

And if you are using an auto ECU, you are effectively shorting out those terminals, and the ECU wont do the test correctly.

Back on to spigot bearings for a sec, This is what ford gave me..

Looks a little diff to the one pictured in Vox's guide, so I thaught id post it to make sure im on the right track, its also notched on one side, so I assume it has to be mounted a particular direction.

And no I didnt buy two of them but through the magic of Photoshop the bearing can sit next to itself icon_biggrin.gif

That is the right bearing. Its the genuine Ford one.

The notches are there for a puller to remove the bearing should you need to do so. And those notches go into the crank.

I take it the puller is so you don't have to remove the flywheel & press the bearing out?

I didn't pay too much attention to my flywheel,spigot, fork, clutch & plate, as the clutch fork had a genuine ford part sticker on it, it was only 12mths old, the clutch & pressure plate had also done very little work before i acquired them. Almost no wear in them at all, or on the flywheel. I just fit it all into my EB.

There is no other way to remove the bearing. And the bearing is pressed into the crank, not the flywheel.

Well s**t hey! I really paid attention to that when i was re-assembling my engine & T5! I'm too used to playing with cars that the spigot is inserted into the flywheel. I wonder if that tool can be bought from somewhere like bursons or you have to buy it from ford?

um i have just noticed a small problem...

i followed the guide on electronics section exactly, has been running fine for ages now, but yesterday i tried starting it while in gear and it didnt jump, the inhibitor switch is still active.

eg; i can start with gear in "n" and cltch in or out, put it in gear and try and start it with either clutch in or out and it does nothing.

have i done somthing wrong? as i thought it was supposed to disable the inhibitor switch.

cheers

Nah that's how I like it.
If you want to start it in gear, you just have to join the two wires that go to the neutral switch, or run a a set of wires in parallel to a clutch switch as well.

With my car, because i used the manual ecu & gearbox loom, i can start mine in gear, and let me tell you i've done that a few times since converting. icon_redface.gif I'd be happier if it didn't, to be honest it's a good safety thing, you can't accidently start your car and have it jump into something or someone.
