I do try

🙄 You know That !

?????????

Great pictures 👍

Hmm not sure 😬

OK, that's sad to hear. You still have a keen interest though, that's what matters.

I have new Tie rods, MK1 £20 the pair, MK2 £30 the pair.

End of hobby ?

Is I tie rods, or tie rod ends you are after ?

I have a pair of new Tie rods, Ill get the part numbers , you can check. Im not sure if they are metric or imperial.

That's good news 👍

I like the Taunus 12M P4, we didn't get them in the UK. Its a pity they are FWD, as I think I'd like to hot onr up if they were RWD. They liik like they share the windscreen and side windows with a MK1 Cortina. Is thee anything else shared with the MK1 Cortina ?

Nice 😃

I took the van into work today. How small does it look too 🤔

Yes, Metal bumpers, I was thinking of the posh ones 🤪

Does it have Chrome bumpers 😁🤭

I had a nice drive to work today. How small my Cortina looks next to the modern cars 🚗 🤔

Glad to here you are back home now James. My best wishes to you

I'm running 2 MK2 Escorts with MK1 MX5 gearboxes, Thats easy as they have a mechanical speedo drive. But the late rMK3 box , that are used in most conversions use electronic pick up

Its easy to convert a mechanical speedo drive to an electronic speedo , but not the other way round 😬 Its pretty common conversion, on older cars that have a mechanical speedo, but no one has got around the fix yet.

Here's a message from James in Australia, rallypack 2000. He is in hospital, with no Internet. Tell them i miss chatting and seeing all their wonderful cars and projects and what such a decent group of chaps you dont find anywhere else on the net and the world even accord83 jokes : 😃

What I need is a way to run a MX5 / R8 Gearbox that has an electronic speedo sensor in the box, to run with my analogue Escort Sport dash 🤪 Any one got ant ideas ?

Get well soon James 👍

That was a very lucky escape 😬
