Apologies, I got the last bit wrong. The FORD lettering on an early grille of a flat front Mk2 is also made of 4 seperate letters. These fit into the moulding of the grille. Take a look at the photo Vista posted. Was at a classic Ford meet and Marcel (anglia58) educated me: the one piece FORD lettering logo does not fit a Mk2. It is for an older Transit.
Eh yes same here. Flat front early grilles had the FORD emblem as per the photo I posted (Motomobil). Early RS2000's had separate FORD letters mounted to the nose. Later cars all had the oval emblem.
The pencil type gauge as posted by quickrack does not have a good resolution. An analogue gauge is better in my view. You can get a Longacre or Intercomp gauge but they will be expensive. Draper or Sealey sell similar analogue gauges but alot cheaper. Whatever you use always use the same gauge and make sure tyre temps are similar (cold).
The mounting of the FORD letter-emblem on the appropriate grille isn't compatible with that of the mounting of the oval-emblem. Different grille different mounting. FORD letters on the droopsnoot front are 4 individual letters, the FORD letters on a Mk2 flatfront grille is one unit.
Yes. For a long time I tuned (not build) Pinto's, Kent engines and BDA's. Still have a lot of Weber and Lumenition parts. Including these Aldon distributors, new and used Lumenition Performance Systems, optical eye's and fitting kits. Due to health issues I have stopped with this and also sold my Mk2 BDA.
