Also could anyone show me what I’d need to connect onto the three threaded prongs on the back as I never had a rev counter before so guessing will need to do something on them?

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a happy new year! I have currently got the 1.3 clocks in my escort but would really like a rev guage as I’m running zetec turbo, so I’ve bought some sport dials that came with brand new replace clocks too! I’ve gone to swap out the old rev counter with the new one and as you can see in pics the old one has a plastic protection box around it but the new one doesn’t? The wiring is much nicer on the new one but the needle seems light compared to the old one as I can twist my wrist with the new ones and the needle lifts easy but the old one doesn’t… is there any issues with using the new one with no plastic box on it and will the light needle feeling get in the way of accuracy at all? Thanks all

Thanks mate very helpful!

Is there a certain type or anything? Thanks mate

Just to update what the outcome was I have gone for a strap now so I can conceal it with a cable tie behind the face of the car until the day (touch wood it doesn’t) comes of breaking down

Looks great mate! It really does! anither question in relation to your car, are your seats Capri ones and been re trimmed? If so what are the materials used on them? Cheers

As in the clips that hold the door cards on? Thanks

I was going to say that the lowering blocks had location dowels and a hole which locked everything in place, now if I had taken the poly pad out the standard dowel and hole would align but the pad doesn’t allow this but we were thinking that as long as them 4 bolts are nice and tight and on nylon nuts surely it can’t move around? I have put a little line across the nut and the thread sticking out so I can see if it’s loosened but I just thought I’d check incase people were going to tell me some ntertibme stories from the past! 😆 thanks mate

Hey I have removed my 1 inch lowering blocks as the car was too low and have now bolted back together without, I have poly pads on the blocks, I have put the poly pads back and then tightened back together, is this ok or should I have removed them? So it’s metal in metal

Hi all, I have got a fully stripped interior currently and would like to start putting things back, I’ve managed to find some door cards but the clips have snapped off. Are these a generic thing you can buy or special to the door cards specifically thanks 🙏🏼

Hey you lovely lot, it’s me again… this time I’m getting rid of my omp bucket seats and putting in somme recaros… in terms of getting them in is there any easy way to get them to fit or do they fit the old rs turbo/Capri recaros straight In? Thanks

What suspension set up do you have with the wheels? Looks lovely mate

I have found a cheaper one 👌🏼 Ordered and can’t wait to sort it out! Panics me it being in storage away from me and a spark could set the whole place up with that open ended pipe jjst going inside the car, so glad to have came across this forum

Yes please pic would be great 👍🏻

Thankyou so much for this mate you totally nailed it I’m now going to run the pipe that goes to the filler overspill directly out the car instead and leave the filler OS as I wont ever spill fuel there thanks again for putting me straight

I think I found something great for what I just asked about…

Nice one thanks for your pictures! I have been thinking though, what stops the fuel coming back up and spilling out with hard driving? cheers!

As I Went to fit new seats in the car this evening at the unit I looked at the pipe and it’s the blue one! So you think it’s that what is letting the smell out so much? There’s no leaks at all I checked what about the hosing to the pump? Is that ok you think thanks bud

Got pics of it on?

Nice one! Did you make this?

I’m thinking of being recovered, not actually being towed on the road would the AA for instance have the ability to do what you originally said?

I have suddenly had a moment with my recently purchased escort mk2 and thought “oh shit how do I tow it if I break down” 😆 have you guys got towing eyes at all? Where’s the best place to have one etc? Thanks peeps!

Ok great thanks! When I get back to the car I’ll check it out!

I’ll check next time I go to the car 👍🏻 It’s in storage at mo but will be seeing it next week 👍🏻 Thanks for the tip! Does yours not smell at all anymore then?

I have caroet under mine too but can’t seem to feel any petrol soaked in, or do you mean the vapour was getting into it? and as for the sender is that so your fuel gauge works? I would love to have a reading on my gauages! If you can get one could you send me the link to one please 😎
