Wanted

MK3.5 FIESTA RUNNERS

I know I need to get down to a scrapyard but theres none near me and thought it be a lot easier to ask on here.

Anyone have any to sell, or know where I can buy a couple of sets?

what does 3.5 mean mk3 to mk5?

what does 3.5 mean mk3 to mk5?

As I understand it the reason I need 3.5 runners is that they match the floor pan of the puma for fitting standard RS Recaro seats.

I picked up the seats today and completely by a stroke of luck (well i thought) the guy I collected them from also had two sets of runners which he said he recieved with the seats when he brought them. I turned them over and they said 'Fiesta' on them and thought brilliant, however I looked at a guide over on Pumapeople in the wiki and the mk3.5 runners that I'm quite sure I need look different than the one's I have.

Might post a picture just in case actually, as I've already cleaned the rust off them and given them the hammerite treatment.

Bump.

@ LOONEY, mk3.5 was an upgraded mk3 model.... so not mk5

 

[Sjoerd]

Dont you mean Fiesta Mk.4 runners? The Puma is based off that model, right?

 

[LOONEY]

No... 3.5, ScubaSteve knows his stuff....

 

[grayfox]

Still needed, willing to pay cash or even swap for mk4 fiesta/escort runners (rust free and nicely hammerite coated)

 

[ScubaSteve]

any n reg fiesta will do

 

[LOONEY]

so the 3.5 runner are just any mk3 fiesta then

 

[ScubaSteve]

no, mk3.5 is not the same as mk3 hence why its called a 3.5 :roll:

certain things on the mk3.5 were different to mk3 parts just before the cross over to mk4 happened.

runners were one of them, same floorpan layout as the mk4/puma but could still fit older fiesta seats to them

mk3 runners dont fit to the puma floor pan

to be safe find an n reg fiesta as that will deffo be a 3.5

 

[LOONEY]

but what does 3.5 mean? i why are they called that.

 

[ScubaSteve]

because it has upgrades to a normal mk3 but its still wasnt a mk4 so was a halfway house

it looks the same from the outside as a mk3 though

 

[LOONEY]

well thats shut me up lol but i have seen a few p reg mk3 fiesta tho

 

[ScubaSteve]

that will be mk 3.5 too

 

[LOONEY]

i dont like the mk4 front end looks abit half arsed to me
but i was told the early pumas had a different floor pan to the later one's

 

[grayfox]

Still badly needed! cant find some anywhere..
