Miniliteman

Brake fluid 🤔

Since a couple of years there is a new 235/50x13 tyre on the market. Search for Galaxy Vitour Formula.

@RP2000: my thoughts are with you and your family sir. I quit my job March last year to look after my mum 24/7 who had dimentia and artritis as because of Covid the "normal" health support was unavailable so I kinda know what its like. Take care.

Alas, Covid19 restrictions ...

Had a look, only have left hand side 1/4 glass.

Which one?

Clear glass or tinted? I have some glass in storage.

No they are not. F50, F6, F66 tubes are used becaue of small differences within the carbs. Main, air and idle jets are selected beacuse of differences in carbs and criteria for exhaust emmissions and mpg.

Looking at the lenses are those lights for RHD or LHD?

Not correct, jetting has nothing (well not much) to do with engine capacity.

PS: but if this fits a SA Mk2 I do not know.

First part of partno is 75AB; 75 is modelyear, A is Escort, B is Britain sourced part (AG is Escort Germany). Spline of Mk2 steering is bigger than Mk1, don't have the measurements at hand but my finger goes in a Mk2 steering wheel not in a Mk1 steering wheel. And yes there should be a cover over the rimply bit.

Surely they would fit under your bed? 😀

These are Superlites. Proper Minilites have a different ET value and would fit the car. (if the axle is in the middle of the car)

Looks like it's for the heater blower motor.

Is the insert stuck in the casing?

Correct. Forest cars would normally have upto 7 inch rims plus higher suspension. Tarmac cars upto 9 inch rims and lowered suspension so more room needed. The Monte Carlo cars had upto 11.5 inch rims. Modern arched Escorts had front arches also above swage line to accomodate 15 inch rims. (McRae Escort)

As said, forest arches below the swage line, tarmac arches above. Monte Carlo arches also above but wider. Alloy arches (like red car) are normally pop-riveted on, plastic / fibreglass arches (like blue car) normally bonded on.

Friend of mine from the UK once said he was scared of spiders and snakes but the thing he was most afraid of was the wife ...

If the front wheel on the photo is in the straight-ahead position then the ARB/mount is wrong.

Coil or coil-connections.
