72mk1escort

like the sound of that mate what's the condition like?

Your bang on mate the MK2 is a 3 stage switch but they fit the MK1 perfectly, I know that for sure as I have put one in mine and it works a treat the only thing I had to do was to crimp 3 new spade connectors onto where the originals were on the loom to marry up with the terminals on the new lamp. A very easy 5 minute job. Its a lot brighter as it uses a 10w bulb and it looks alot smarter than my yellow dim old thing I think the 3 way switch is a good upgrade as you can have completely off, on and off with door opening and closing and on when your driving or parked up.

Im after a quite exhaust system for my mk1 escort it has a 4 branch ashley manifold which i would like to keep and i want to fit a standard type exhaust (centre and rear section) to get it back to as quite as an original escort mk1 mexico etc. has anyone got any ideas as all i can seem to find is loud ones like ashley and sportex etc. Maybe im just getting old but I want it to be quite on the motorway as i went for a drive last night and got home deaf lol

HERE IS A BRAND NEW GENUINE FORD INTERIOR LIGHT / LAMP TO FIT YOUR MK1 / MK2 ESCORT AND ALSO MK1 FIESTA. I HAVE FITTED ONE OF THESE TO MY OWN MK1 ESCORT AND THEY FIT NICELY AND LOOK VERY SMART. THE PRICE IS £25 PLUS £3 P+P TO ANYWHERE IN THE UK

nice one mate Keep cracking on with the old girl she will be a beaut once shes finished

Thanks mate mine is a 73 october build date no free tax for me as im sure it needs to be before jan 73 to be free

My camper is a 1974 registered 09/09/1974 I wondered if anyone can help me find out the build date to see if I can get free tax? There was a chart somewhere with how to read the chassis number but i cant find it anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi mate, Yes it is just the pedal pivot bushes at the top of the pedal box and you can do them with it in the car but you need to lay in the footwell and its not a very nice job I probably would just remove the pedal box if i done mine again as I reckon it would be much easier The bushes are easy to get hold of, I brought poly bush ones for under a tenner posted, Heres a link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-M ... 5647f5db3f Hope that helps

I will give that a go cheers mate

How much did they go for mate and i guess they wasnt as rare then. I wouldnt bother selling them if they aint gonna make much. They can only go up in price.

I just wondered what my original set of MK1 escort front seats would be worth from my 1972 mk1 1100L 4 door. They are in excellent condition and they are black vinyl, Came out of my car which had done around 45,000 miles. Got them taking up space in my garage so just wanted to find out how much they are worth. If anyone could help out here as I wouldn't know how to price these as you don't often see them in this condition. These are the only pictures I can find of them at the moment.

Merry Christmas Everyone

and alot cheaper that 175/50/13s to

not 100%, but im pretty sure the mk2 tank is the same as the mk1 From memory when i was after a tank for my escort its just the thread for the fuel pipe that is metric on mk2 and imperial on most mk1's but yours may be ok as its a late mk1. I cant see the senders being different.

Looks mine

Thanks for all of the comments guys

Im still about chaps

Just wanted to write up and say Ian is a top man. He machined my wheel centres to a really high standards my rs centre capa fit like a glove and also he checked them all for balance aswell and don this all for a very reasonable price. He really knows his stuff so if anyone needs any small machining jobs in the south east london area i would highly reccommend Ian to anyone.He is in the Surrey area.His number is above. Cheers

Cheers mate Glad i didnt just order it.

Thanks for the advice

Cheers mate

As above will a MK2 steering rack fit my 1972 mk1 escort or are there some differences? Only asking as rally design do mk2 ones very reasonable

I am now a Cult Member been meaning to join it for ages well worth contributing the £12 a year that's only £1 a month

Bestek are the nuts he done me a kit at a very reasonable price, easy to fit with instructions and he sets up advance to suit your engine before sending it out.
