Hiya, please tidy those brake hoses! It doesn't look like there's any slack in it which may lead to the hose or fitting being ripped with the suspension movement. Also it's a good idea to have an air loop in the pipe/hose to stop air getting further back into the brake pipes or master cylinder.

Yes it is assuming you match up the correct generation of beam - older fork mount vs newer eye mount for the dampers.

Hiya, yes that sounds great thanks :) Cheers Dom

Hi, should anyone be scrapping a Puma i would love a complete set of rubber seals (preferably not torn to bits!) Cheers Dom

I've got a bumper now. Annoyingly can't see an option to delete this thread!

On the Puma the front track is wider than the rear (same as most front wheel drive cars) and in an ideal world it would be good to keep the ratio the same front to back to preserve the handling balance. However in reality you can widen the rear track to the same as the front with no great...

Hi all, are there any straightforward radiator swaps for the Puma? I'm running a standard Ford Fiesta/Puma rad and now temps are worrying me. The FRP rad seems to be the same model as the regular Puma, but does a Focus or Mondeo rad fit or offer a larger core?

It could be done but as others have said you would need to replace the ECU instruments and loom with that from a Puma. The Mk6 1.6 Fiesta engine is a minor evolution of the Sigma from the Mk5 which is closely related to the Puma lump. You should be able to use a combination of the engine...

fascinating stuff with the gearbox replacement - will be bookmarking this :-)

I think it would be very possible assuming you have plenty of money, time, and technical ability! But I love the idea of a modern engine in a relatively retro shell. Practically i think there are 2 options to make this work: 1. Probably easiest option is to keep everything OEM and install the...
