Hello,

I'm just looking for a new set of rear brake disks.
Does anybody know which one would fit? Thanks

Volker

Hi Volker
Proper discs are very rare. Only fitted as standard to some German market MK1 fiesta that pre-dated the xr2. They were also available in the UK as part of the 'Series X' upgrade kits you could order on your Mark 1 Fiesta. As Ian says - full dimensions etc on the owners club site.

An alternative is to use a set of Mk3 1.1 Fiesta front discs. The diameter is a little small so you need to file your pads down slightly at the top (or mod the caliper mounts) but otherwise they are OK.

Well - we have bought the G32 turbo race car that was on Ebay, so now I have a choice of broomstick....

We are now looking for all and any information we can gather about the car - I recall that either Performance Ford or Fast Ford featured the car many years ago, and information like that would be nice to have.

Nina what are you planning to do with it put it on the road or use it for competition? Hope you are keeping well.

Well - as far as we can tell, the car was built as a road-legal racing car, so we plan to keep it that way. The first step is to work out exactly what needs doing to a car that has not been used for a long, long time, but it has been garaged all that time so hopefully the chassis will be OK as the car has done very little road work. First stop for the car is Ginetta Heritage next week.

Once it is sorted out, I will be spoilt for choice as I still have Roger (the G32 Zetec modsports car) as well. Both will give me the incentive I need to get well for the 2010 season - 2009 has been a year that we want to get behind us....

David has been working on the race truck, building a lifting ramp so that the G22 and a G32 can fit in the same space. That's nearly done, so know he can get back to the G22 and get that running again!

Hi,

does anybody know from which car / model the G32 clutch slave cylinder comes from?
Need to get a service kit or a new one quite soon :-)
Many thanks

Joe G will tell you it's off an Austin A40...you might have more chance finding a repair kit than I did of finding a new one.

I bought a Hewland gearbox slave cylinder last year - it's identical except for the flexible hose connection (which I replaced)

Hi, just a quick one:
I need to check the hand brake switch on my G32 (series 1, built in 1990), as it starts flickering from time to time. Does anybody know where it is located?

Volker

On the actual handbrake handle, should be a ford sierra item. Have you checked your fluid levels as I know with some cars its intergrated incase it gets low.

No he wouldnt.

[G32Tech]

Justin you're right and apologies to everyone, the clutch slave cylider is not from an Austin A40, it's from an Austin but a later model.

What I didn't make clear on my last post in June is that my advice is to go and buy a Hewland slave cylinder and an adaptor to change the existing clutch union to match - more details and links to parts on ebay if required.

Hi, waking up a very old thread but I think its nice to clear up a parts sourcing issue with my own experience. The slave cylinder is a Formula Ford one, that simple.
