Am i missing something?

[evoboy]

Hi can anyone help please
Have i got the metal coolant pipe in the correct place?
as i cant work out what to fix the bracket to

[TREVCOS]

I can't work the pic out. Doesn't the thermostat housing look the wrong way up or is it me?

[ebonycossie4x4]

yes housing is wrong...

I've had a few cosies where this pipe is just floating around, definitely not how ford intended.

[Davecos 4x4]

must be an early 4x4 head off a saff maybe.

I have the lump which the bolt screws into on my head.

[ebonycossie4x4]

yes agreed there should be lump there to bolt to if everything was the way ford intended.



although in pic thats a 2wd head not an early 4x4 one.

[ebonycossie4x4]

I've had a different pipe to that on a couple of my cars in the past that doesn't have such a bent and people have put going up above the turbo. i think the pipe may be wrong? we need one of the experts to chime in and help you out.

I think pipe is wrong

[Davecos 4x4]

the pipe maybe wrong for that hear however the pipe is the same as whats on my car iirc.

Thanks for the comments guys, yes i forgot to say the thermostat end housing was fitted like that when i bought it, i need to turn it, im sure it is a 4x4 head though as it hasn't got turbo brace lugs and the water ways look correct, i'll put a pic up of the underneath now

pipe

pipe is correct if you have bt escort pal, I would say the head is a 4x4 saff one, as dave says there is a boss on bt heads for that pipe to bolt to cheers

[Davecos 4x4]

pics from my car I just took.

Thank you guys i thought i was going mad! lol
I'll have to make a bracket for it,
im guessing it is a saph 4x4 head as mine is a BT is there any other problems im going to come across? i hope not

if you use the lifting eye on the rear of the head, hang a bracket off that one and secure it from the rear end.
