hi mate i sent u a PM, not had any reply yet though???? m8.i replied to you and you replied to me saying you've passed my no on unless you think you've pm'd me again oh ok sorry mate, prob the case of 1 or 2 too many christmas jars

hi mate i sent u a PM, not had any reply yet though????

i think ur getting ur self into a cuffufle here .lol basicly u need a xflow flywheel + matching starter motor then use a sierra 7.5inch 23splind clutch with pressure plate job done have a gander at this, some of it is relevent 2 u.... http://www.retro-rides.org/wiki/Type%20 ... rsion.ashx

dont think flywheel will fit? just clutch + pressure plate

u starter motor is very much dependant on what flywheel ur gonna fit? as pre ingaged xflow flywheels a quite rare i think? also u wont need a propshaft the one u have will fit fine.. clutch plate needs to be the 23spline early sierra type.7.5" slso u`ll need to drill a hole in bulkhead + a wee bit of tube for the clutch cable..

i seen this today.....its in a subaru garage... not gonna say where ... very nice

i`ve seen 1 pair before......think there quite rare & that was back in the 90`s

if not get some off a mk3 fiesta as there the same as capri, and if mk1 escort have the same thread on the track rod then these sould fit.

i think from memory u can use bog standard mk1 rod ends. aslong as ur rack is deffo mk1?

im not more than 5 miles away from southam but dont wanna really give my location away i have a tawny brown mk1 awaiting resto with lotus rims and it looks very nice ......

i used to see this driving around my town all the time a few years back. was in better shape back then.. glad it went to a good home

not 100% sure but i think some 1300E`s were built using 1300sports ...

i payed £450 for a 17000 miles car just over 2 years ago in very good condition 1 owner... ive not long just bought a 1300ghia 1 owner fully rebuilt engine to the tune of £1000 for £350.... but i recon £800-£1200?

£500 ish i would say??

rectangle.......

damn been after a genuine white front passinger door 4 ages & theres two white cars there ......

prob easier & cheaper to put a CVH in??? same hassle , cheaper + easier engine to get??? just my thoughts

try cleaning the engine earths , the arm that earths the alternator etc, myn did somthing the same as & that cured myn??? worth a try and its free

the swage line is the line that runs down the side of the car... also saloon bolt on at the a-post / estate+van weld

escorts only have a thin peice of board between boot & backseat as standard?? not very fire proof?

tossers.... unfortunaly to the youth of today this is known as fun..... i say burn there house ...see if ther`d like that?

i think its because if the leg came with roller bearing tops the shaft is shorter , if it had normal tops there longer? i noticed this as i had a pair with roller bearing tops & a pair with standard tops???
