New injection options

Well another year has gone by in the life of the Zetec engined 2B

Never got round to fitting the injection last winter, and not being sure of the parentage of the ECU and throttle bodies, I sold them on again through ebay and brought a single plenum unit, which fits the standard Ford injectors and throttle body, along with a Microsquirt ECU (thanks www.trigger-wheels.com). Only failures I have had over the last year have been a breaking down ignition lead, which was a intermittent fault which took some finding, and also the failure of a cheapy in line fuse holder which was the power feed to the Megajolt - buy cheap, buy twice!

So plan this winter is to fit the injection along with the new brake system, along with possibly building a new scuttle unit, cutting the bonnet separate to the scuttle and hinging it at the front.
