72mk1escort

As some of you probably know i recently fitted RS 4 spoke wheels to my MK1 Escort i brought the alloy wheel nuts from speedshack which where a great fit in the holes for the wheel nuts. The wheels have had new tyres fitted and all 4 have been balanced but between around 50-60 mph i have got vibrations/a small wobble on the steering wheel. I have spoken to the local tyre place (Watlings) and the guy said i need some spigot rings but i just wanted to see first if anyone has had the same problem as this. The car is a 1972 MK1 Escort 1100L which i have fitted the wheels to. If anyone knows anything about this or has done it their self i would really appreciate any help/information as i really need to get to the bottom of this. Thanks

As above please guys someone has offered me a set of calipers and discs all ready to bolt on but the question is will they fit on standard MK1 Escort disc brake legs? If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated Thanks

You have PM

BUMP

Thanks guys

Thats the thing i sometimes have people in the back and am sometimes 4 man up So i need it to still be usable and handle good aswell if you know what i mean

Chuck it down the neighbours drain

They are 5.5J rims and the tyres are 185/60/13's i think 2" all round might be to much how about an inch or is it not worth it?

I meant how much does mine need lowering on the front and back?

You nutter You have to go over speed bumps slow enough as it is Do you think my rear end needs droping or just the front and buy how much on each do you recon (safely without grounding out on speed bumps) ?

I cant find the springs on their site can someone send me a link please

Where can i get the spring for £25? And what spec are they? Links please

Been trying to get a bonnet release cable for my MK1 Escort today i tried everywhere then last of all i though mmmmm speedshack and i have heard them mentioned a lot on here so i called them up. What a great bloke he is ordering me in a release cable from their supplier who makes the cable all for £9.95 and £3.50 to post what a bargain He asked where i had herd about them i said oldskool ford and he said to say thanks to you guys for all of the recommendations

You wont set it a light mate i messed around finding out which ones i needed to connect when my switch was broken and i just blew the fuse when i connected it wrong Give it a go mate trust me it will be fine the worst that can happen is a fuse gets blown

Thanks guys

Thanks for the offer mate but i have some sorted now however i might need one drivers side steering arm off of you at some point if thats okay as my drum ones might not fit the disc legs

Im glad you guys like them ive had my Dad in my ear ever since they have been on there saying ive ruined the car Hes not the one that has to drive it daily if he did he would realise why i fitted them after all the 12" steels with 155/70 tyres didnt hold the road to well
