that's the right tool, when hitting it with a hamer the fibrations will go to your hands, nice he !!!!!, i change the pins with bolts and nuts, but when you replace the pins make sure you got the thick ones, the thin ones won't last long, cheers marcel

hi, i got side tracked, from the things i still have to do, a mate of mine wanted again an old ford, he saw one, and asked me to go and see it, on the other end of holland, that's 190 miles from us we went with an mondeo estate with some spare parts in it, we had a look, a chat with eelke (the seller) who is a very nice guy, the car was like he sayed , so he bought it, traded in the mondeo, and we drove it back the 190 miles, we had a lot of fun on the way back, we made it with out any problems, last weekend we fixed a few things witch were needed, like weld a few plates in the wheel wells, a piece in the chassis beam, also two holes in the right wing, and sprayed these, and this was all don on the public road, becaurse my mate hasn't got a garage, i got 4 and i still have to work outside, a bit stupid i think , but the weather was nice, and we had a lot of fun, like 2 kids with a new toy, and you get distracted by the women and girls passing by, especial with the hot weather we have. now we just have te renew the backbrakes and kabel, and it could be good to go to an mot, then we got enough time to the other things to fix. so you see you have to be a bit nuts to want to drive an old ford, it dosn't come for nothing, but it's worth al the effort, to drive an old ford, cheers marcel, and jan the owner of the taunus estate

mine is 205/60/13 with a 5 speed, 3.22 diff, and dos 130kpm at 3000 rpm, our top speed is 100kpm, i drive that, i like to be a criminal, cheers marcel

yes, i will be there at j3, it's the carclub tilburg, it's a new club, just for the show, helma the wife of bert made it happen, i will be leaving at 01.00 sunday morning, take the tunnel, go to the show, and after that i will go to my sister near norwich, that will be a very long day, i hope i will survive it, the fraudownersclub sound interresting, i will ask info what that's about, cheers marcel

hi, i did skrewed the regulator in an sports dashboard, it just fits, and the copper collet makes contact like the originale one, i did have a look at an rs dash wich leon sent a picture of, it won't fit in there, the leg is at an different place, never knew that, you live and learn, i know it's stupid that my oil and dynamo light didn't work with regulator in the dash, they have nothing to do with it, i thought may be it's simpel, and i struck gold, but to bad no free holydays for me, but i still will go to england, i just will row myself, cheers marcel

hi, an update from the simple mechanic, i used my second one in my van, to bad, nothing works, no temp, petrol, and no oil , dynamo lamp, the other stabiliser is on its way to miniliteman, he knows what to look for, i don't, he knows realy a lot, you could say he's smart, just don't tell him that, cheers marcel

i didn't see your message, on evalbay, someone sells just the square thing, with wires, and says it works, what i saw on the one i got, it's the square witch is wired like the guy on evalbay says, i think leon will figure it out, my brain dosn't get it, i will try my second one, and buy some of those squares, and try that, if we get it to work, we got a nice problem fixed for very little money, it's great that miniliteman saw something very small, witch could be a solution, i have to say, he's got an advantage, he wears glasses, cheers marcel

hi, there will go one of these to miniliteman, one free holyday coming up, great !!!!, he wil have a look with a voltmeter i think, we have to wait for his profesionale report, i got an other one, the second free holyday !!!!, i will stick it in my car, and will see if something blows up or burns down, i am a simple mecanic, change it, and see what happens, remember, i don't lay, unless i typ, or open my mouth, cheers marcel

hi, leon, they are for sale on ebay, one robber lives in australia, (sorry RP) who is asking just 150 ponds english, a german ask 30 ponds, 2 italien guys ask about 60 ponds, if you want one i will sent one, i think i will get another free holiday coming soon, pm you adress please, it will be free, the stabiliser is interchangeable from the cortina to an escort dash, it just fits, i think it's the square bit thats the volt regulator, someone is selling that on ebay with 3 wires, for 14 ponds, the square bit is also for sale on ebay, for 3,90 ponds you get a set of 10, i think you could fix one to an old metal regulator. they also sell then 2 a set fot 3,50 with writting on them, on the originale on it says 7805 520k nec malaysia. that's on the one i saw on ebay, on mine it says L7805c-y scs 88737 , on the box you get the ford number on my cars i use the regulator which will not read a full tank of gas when its full, then i always have gas in the car, but it will say emty, and my tempmeter will stay low, if the regulator will say a full gastank, my thempmeter will be a bit under half the scale, and if my car will head up just a bit, the meter will go up rather much, you would think something is wrong, when it's not, with the ones which don't say a full tank, the tempmeter is more stable, if it go's up, it will go slowly, if the engine is getting hot, it will go fast, so it will work normale. i will buy a few of those square bits, they cost nearly notting, i will pick them up by my sister after 14 may, i will sent a few to you leon, cheers marcel picture is from the guy from ebay

do you need one ?, i can sent one with the door carts, i think the standaard dash has the same, i will have a look, cheers marcel

hi leon, see pictures, it's the voltregulator, and it fits the old style dash from an escort, it looks a better option than the old one, i know there is just a piece of wire inside, i have taken one apart, 30 years ago, (sh.. now people know i am just over 30 years, i started in diapers with cars, i never lay shure!!!, sometimes it go's wrong when typing or opening my mouth), cheers marcel

hi rp, i had a look they are the same, ford did use a lot of the same parts on different car's, it's cheaper that way, it's one of the reasons why they are well liked, cheers marcel

hi colr6, the speedo is the same, it's got the daycounter, with that it's easyer to see how much you can drive with a tank of gas, in holland we call them taunus, i beleave that some sierra's also got the same speedo, i can recall that i bought a few on a partsday for 5 euro apiese, for the dash, taken the speedo out, and gave back the rest, they are somewhere in my pile, i did find, the taunus dash, see pictures, they also can have the rpm counter, but look if it's for a 6 or 4 banger, it will be written on the plate, and transits mk2 also got the same speedo. if you need one, let me know, i will send one, for just the postage, cheers marcel

it should be free, if they sayed it's a gift, and as far as i know, everything under 45 euro's should be free, they charged me i think 8,50 euro for the tea my sister sent to me, worth 15 ponds ?, that's what coverment will do to the own folk, in every country, if i go to englandi can get up to 600 euro's tax free in to the country, if i come back, it's just 300 euro's, and we still have to beleave we are living in free country's, i didn't beleave in fairy taills when i was young, today it pisses me off, that's why i try to stick it as much to the coverments, and tell taills at the border, witch works great. if you need some more stuff, you could send it to my sister, and i will get it back, i will go to the classic ford show on the 14 of may, and go back on the 22 of may, i will probably go an other time this year, aug or so, cheers marcel

i don't need anything, but thanks for your red hearts, that's a nice thing to do, but sorry i still which you where a girl, LOL cheers marcel ( hoping i don't take this to far)

hi, it's in the post, should be in at the end of this week ??? i couldn't get the bill inside, so you got it for free, some people have all the luck, cheers marcel

hi colr6, i got you an very expensive and rare o/s remote mirror gasket, which will pay my next holyday on the 14 of may, i think, i will sent it to you this monday, i will put the very big bill with it, so i can buy some fish and chips, when i am at the classic ford show this year, thanks for that, cheers marcel

if you don't trust them, open one up, you could inspect the inside, i also use filters for an crossflow on an ohc, they are smaller and easyer to fit, cheers

hi rally pack 2000, i use filters like that for years, i got lots of them, at least standing here for more than 20 years, they work fine, bought them for 75 pence, in the shop would be 8 ponds today, cheers
