Well managed to finish stripping out the pedals and half of the bulkhead.
Starting to ferment ideas of replacing the whole bulkhead and rear of the bonnet with a GRP scuttle unit. The bulkhead arrangement was always a bit of a compromise, making access to fusebox, etc a nightmare. Proper scuttle unit with flip forward bonnet would be good.....the bonnet catch at the front of the bonnet would go giving space for the inlet system.
Offered up the new pedals and propped them in place to see how they would be position wise when I was in the driving seat. Seemed to work out OK, but unsure whether to use the original pedal mounting plate from the 2B kit, or to use flat plate to mount the brake/clutch pedal then work out an arrangement for the accelerator pedal. May do some mocking up using ply to start with.
I pressed the bushes into one of the pedals - quite a tight fit but the bench vice did its job. When I tried to put the pedal on the mounting tube discovered the tube was too large. Quick measure up showed the tube to be 14mm diameter, and have managed to borrow a drill of this size off a neighbour so hopefully this will solve the problem.
Pulled out the Mondeo engine loom to start pulling out the wiring/connectors I need for the injection. After battling with extremely sticky insulation tape, and trying to trace wires back when there are multiples of the same colour, I managed to get out most of what I need. Found one sensor that I can't identify though....need to check the Haynes manual for that.
Ordering fuel pump and swirl pot tonight, so may be able to start putting injection together in some form next weekend.
