:smile01: nothing "standard" about an Eleanor!
I have found this site that does them, but asks for a thread size:

Thanks guy's. glad you all like her. One thing when a project takes this long it always seams to go down a diffrant road then you intended. I didnt mean to go this full on but just kind of happned. Even now i want to change some things, like the battery recess. I now want to make it flat as the battery is going in the boot. and so the job gets big but i have come this far so what's a bit more lol..

Hi all, things are moving but slowly. I have parts on the way but must be on the slow boat from china. just got the extractors made and they are a very tight fit. While i had it in the air i took a few pic's from underneath so you can all see the set up better...

Nice Desert Cooler radiator. I bet you didn't get a radiator cap supplied with it.:violin:    Running the same front suspension set up as I am. RRS strut coilovers with TCP lower control arms and strut rods.:fantastic:

Lol no i didn't, you would think for the money they would through one in hay. I love the look of the RRS strut's but there strut rod and control arms are a eye sore. did you have any problems fitting up the TCP gear up to the RRS struts..

I have only losely put it together to roll but yes the RRS strut lower bolts needed  turning around so that the TCP balljoint could sink all the way in. I havn't turned them around yet so the balljoint isnt all the way in. For memory I think it wasnt a huge issue. They do look trick though. I have the RRS control arms sitting in the cupboard now. Sell them later.    Oh! and the inner bushes were very tight fitting. Took quite a tapping to get them in.

Awesome work Eleanor67.
We have a 2002 SVT Cobra / 4.6l Quad cam and she flies !!

Love the radiator, where are you going to source your Radiator Hoses from?
There a bit hard to find.

Cheers

Hi mate, sorry it's been so long since i have been on here. and have been flat out with work and building my dad's TC cortina. So any way the shell took us about 12 months to get strait but that was on and off. I am trying to do as much of the build as i can but there are something that just a bit to much for me. the replacement of rusted panels was alldone by a pro but i had big hand in straiting and smoothing the shell the under floor was all me and it still has a long way to go to get it where i want it but i am very fusy. Im not to fust on how long it takes me as don't want to cut corners. Once i get my dad's car done i will be back into it again...
