Drill an 8mm hole into the steering rack

platform so that the horns can be bolted to

the plate. The horns are fixed beneath the

steering rack platform using a BMCH8x50

bolt dropped into the drilled hole with a

spring washer under the head. A 32mm

long aluminium spacer is then used to

space the horns down, and the horns are

attached to the bottom of the bolt with an

M8 nyloc nut and a plain washer.

Tighten the 13 mm nut in the centre of

each horn and connect the horns to the

electrical harness by the purple and

yellow wires and connectors located

above the horns on the front upper cross

member.

7.3.2) Installation of engine/gearbox into

chassis

Warnings

1. Never work underneath a car without

supporting it on axle stands or

equivalent. Do not rely on a jack alone.

2. Use appropriate eye protection

whilst working under the car.

3. For Duratec engines, Alternator and

starter motor must be removed before

engine installation.

Using the lifting hoist and sling detailed in

Table 19, attach the engine/gearbox using

the lifting eyes provided on the engine,

lower the engine/gearbox assembly into

the engine bay at an angle of between 30-

40 (with the engine higher than the

gearbox). Insert the gearbox assembly

into the transmission tunnel.

Continue to slide the engine/gearbox

rearward until the holes in the gearbox

mounting line up with the holes in the

chassis cross member. If the differential

and Propshaft have already been fitted,

ensure that the Propshaft locates into the

gearbox tailshaft housing.

Attach the LH engine mounting using the

two M8 x 25 mm bolts (fastener pack

36G006A Item 4) and one M8 x 30 mm

bolt (5), do not fully tighten the bolts.
