Build manual required
Discussion
OK so here's the story, my 14 yr old son decided he needed (yes - NEEDED) a jago geep. OK - I have always liked 'em and thought the ones I have seen at shows to be generally well built, solid and good looking. Next, we buy one of ebay for £150! fantastic.
Its better than I imagined too.
Its meant to be a project to teach him the rudiments of car fixing and as such looks a pretty good tool.
Right, how can you help? I have the following problems which I hope someone can help me out with.
1. fuel tank - seems to be an escort estate job, filler tube is cut down a bit and the filler neck has been shortened. The join between them was with a bit of rubber pipe 1 3/4 inch internal diameter. Cant get any! Is there another solution or does anyone know where I can find the stuff?
2. the front suspension isnt mk1 escort - big wented discs and the roll bar goes into a bush in the track control arm - granada? later escort?
3. can I get hold of a build manual of anyone to work out how it all goes together - looks straight forward to me but this would be useful for the lad.(honest - I'm an expert!)
4. it has a 1600 cross flow with a high lift cam - very torquey, a bit lumpy at idle but uninsurable for him when he hits 17 in two years time! Anyone got a 1100 or 1300 Xflow lying around - if it need work so much the better - will be good for him!
many thanks.
