My many old fords
notenoughtime posted a topic in READERS RIDES (PAST & PRESENT) PICTURES, BROCHURES & ARCHIVES
This may be a slow start as I need find some old pics I’ll start with the mk1 cortina which was magazine featured by a owner after me but I built it originally lol One of the first conversions to rear discs that was the reason for the 4 spokes as couldn’t find anything g to fit over the calipers at the time x hotrod x flow 45s with 2000e gearbox 165bhp @wheels, Leda 24mm adjustable anti roll bar and front struts, lotus clocks -
taxi mirrors
-
So really can't even be classed as remote ! Back to basic mirrors, even less then...lol
-
yep most of the speedos are the same. such as old transits using cortina clocks. i have seen those electric mirrors too, i would have a pair but not at that bloody price! like i say. they were fitted to the later black cabs. google a pic and you will see them. but they were electric. and never fitted to a mk2 escort so shouldnt have the rs tax!
-
I asked him today he has nine I’m waiting on a reply, I’ll message him now I’ll send you my number
-
So if I email the bloke on fleabay and tell him they were never fitted to a RS so knock the RS tax off and offer £50 the pair instead of the £300, do you think he'll take it?? Trade description act and all that....lol Y may have a point on the speedo front, ain't the cortina Granada speedo the same?
-
did you have any joy with the 14" 4 spoke?
-
the electric ones are from london taxis. the black cabs. none of the escorts had electric mirrors. also ive never seen rs clocks without a trip. maybe been rebuilt with a standard perspex and speedo to make a complete set of clocks.

ok! lol

Escort estate mk2 with mk1 exterieur
John escort mk1V6 replied to John escort mk1V6's topic in PROJECTS AND RESTORATIONS
And this is what have done the last weeks , i have put in a quaife gearbox , i wanted this for a while and mine old gearbox has a problem so the timing was good. Also i did have to exchange the rear form the old gearbox becourse the quaife did have a electric speedsender and i want to keep the cable. And i also did put in a new quick shift lever , so i have more clearance with the tunnel , and looks better than the orignal one with the quick shift kit. And on more litt;e thing i did was , welded 2 spacers on the steering rack , to prevent that calipers can hit the compresion struts. -
I think a lot depends on colour of car they going on, but if they not going on anything, hard to say really. These are mine, but they on a white car, and they have been like this forever.

Greenpeace is right. We need to ban certain types of plastic that are harming the environment.

I fitted mine on the van where you have yours on the Anglia Col (though with the hoses coming out the bottom and therefore hidden from view) the RS though has it vertically and tucked in to the side as per James' picture. Chris, you are welcome to come over and take a look at mine. I fitted it 14 years ago nearly and it's never given any trouble there. Pretty sure it's helped keep me out of trouble in heavy traffic a few times too.
