Hello everybody,

actually the heater hose on my ZT-T 260 is still ok but the connection towards the engine (a plastics tube) has cracked.
Does anybody know where to get a spare part ?

I am talking about the part that connects this pipe to the engine:

Hi Sebastian, this has been discussed recently, whereabouts are you on the planet?

If you sign up for full membership all the answers are there. Sounds like you need a new manifold if the plastic outlet feeding the hose is broken.

Hi,

I am located in Germany - membership is probably worth a try.
Inlet manifold sounds expensive :-(
Is it the standard Ford Mustang GT part (this one here: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=872487&cc=1425024) or a special Rover/MG one ?

Sebastian

Hi,

I actually live in a small town ~60mls north of Frankfurt.
Me and my family lived in Essex for a year and just returned to Germany a couple of months ago.

I am a quite keen on V8-powered British sports cars (beside the ZT 260 I have an old S2 Continental and a Jensen C-V8 which I restored during the last couple of years).
But the ZT 260 is my daily driver so I don't have too much time to get it back on the road ;-)
Where do you usually buy parts for the V8 ? In Germany there are special US car parts shops (such as KTS) but they are quite expensive so I buy the expensive parts at rockauto.com and pay extra for customs and delivery.

Sebastian

From another post on the same issue:


There are some reported issues with the Dorman replacement.
The alternator bracket doesn't line up correctly and the holes for the COPs are not threaded.

Brown and Gammons did have an original MGR replacement, I'll post the link if I can find it.

Found it:

6707

Hi Sebastian,

You are not alone in Germany, but I live a bit far from you near Bremen. Also can not help with a manifold; Sorry!
Is this maybe where you looking for? http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/s-anzeige/ansaugbrucke-ford-mustang-gt-4,6-ab-2005/221420728-223-9283?ref=search

Good luck André

Hi André,

so I am not the only one to drive a 260 :-) good to know, I had severe issues to get it re-registered at the German TÜV authorities (they claimed I would have modified the suspension and shock absorbers because they looked like aftermarket parts to them).

Hi Andy,

how much do you want for the inlet manifold ?

Sebastian
