Hi, Im looking for a set of Mk1 Escort Seats in black, early type either in black vinal or cloth, anything condition considered. Regards, Martin.

Thanks for the reply Vista, Ill give Escort Tec a call, yeah Im trying to avoid buying one thats as bad as my South African one, how the cars not been left in an ashes pile is beyond me!! Martin.

Hi mk1del, Thanks for the reply, sorry do you still have one or did you sell it? Martin.

Thanks colr6, I think this may be an option if I cant source a good used one. I have an original ford workshop manual with fold out wiring loom digrams which are near A2 size and really good to use. Thanks for your advice, its really appreciated!! Martin.

Hi Dave, Thanks for this advice, I dont really want to go down the new loom route as my plan with the car is to keep nearest to an original MK1 as possible so Im currently sourcing original parts to use. I understand the safety issues reg an old loom but I have a good friend who's an electrical engineer to look over it and test it once fitted. I have heard good and bad about autosparks and noticed they do sell complete new looms. I have an original Escort workshop manual to work to so Im wondering wether to give it a go myself. I do have a Loom but my Mk1 is a South African import so as you can imagine its on a bit of a state!!

Thanks Katana, I have been told a few times thats the best option, may look into it though it would be a shame from keeping the car original.

Hi guys, Im looking for a complete loom, the earlier the better, not fussed about the condition as long as its all there as I have a spare to work with. Let me know what you have. Thanks, Martin.

Not really, I had some great advice from a guy in the UK who had a buyer over there and a shipping contact. They were brilliant. Obviously theres a little worry with exchanging money etc but all went well!! Will be doing it again without doubt!!

Colr6, I imported it myself, tracked it down and shiped it over!!

Hi Guys, Just a quick introduction, Ive been reading the forum for a good few months now as Ive recently purchased a 2 door 1968 Mk1 imported from South Africa. The car needs a lot of work but is in great shape for the age, luckily it was stored under cover and obviously the climate helps. Obviously appreciate any help and advice in the future. Im also trying to source parts for a 1968 so if you have anything please let me know!! Regards, Marv.
