Where are you at cos i have just removed a full set of brake pipes from my mark 2 and i am more than happy to cut the ends of and post em to you also got some imperial braided lines here second hand

Mark 1 should be imperial and your mark 2 items should be metric buy a fitting and try it out from your local spares shop to be sure

I think that plate type lsda are a bit noisier than standard diffs though

I use the comma diff oil and have never had aproblem

Should be a specific oil for lsd I know that comma do a specific oil for them

Cant say how much help the auto darkening masks are for a learner it really does save a lot of cursing when you run a aloverly weld only to find it missed the seam

I have seen some inner wheel arches on ebay recently and if you try gs escorts i am pretty sure they have chassis rails in stock

When you buy a digital dash you will find it comes with a universal plug with tails that you attach your wires to and an instruction manual I think as far as the speedo is concerned you will be better of if you use a gearbox with an electronic drive like from agranada or s.i.e.rr.a as this will make life a lot easier Otherwise you will need to fit a speedo pick up ontoa wheel or something I have done it on a bike but it can be a pain in the arse

Let the guy who sets your car up piss about with the jets mikeanics in congleton sorted mine for me and i gained 31 bhp from rejetting and fettling

Front arches look like that to allow the huge front wheels to turn in the arches I am pretty sure if they were further back the tyres would scrub looking at the picture I tried to fit 205 tyres on 7 inch rims on my standard car and the tyres ripped my mex spoiler clean of when i turned to full lock

Your carbs have got trumpets and no airfilters on and maybe his have a k+n on em Also the italian carbs are supposed to be better anyway

You can get bolt on brackets from caprisport that mount using three of the original halfshaft mounting holes then if you are worried take it to someone that can weld and have em tacked on as well

The best i can do is suggest that you get the most expensive one you can afford I am sure i saw an article in one of the mags last year that compared welders dont get anything less than a 150 turbo cooled mig though and it is worth investing in some proper gas

try burtons or rally design

So when did the FIA approve standard seatbelts

I guwss you mean the metal thing that is round with 1 flat side that slots over the end of the ball connection to hold the cable on

same as on a lot of jelly moulds so try the local scrapyard

Should be simple enough to wire it up so you dont need a key simply hotwire it and put the pushbutton inline

Kawasaki orange

Is the tracking ok

yep when i changed mine recently it was a bugger to undo

Hammerite do a very close match to the right blue

Panhard rod should sit as level as possible with your axle when the car is sat on its wheels

I was given that ultimatum when i passed my bike test my wife said if i bring a bike home i would need to find somewhere else to live But when i got it out of the van nothing was said I had several mark2 s when i was courting my wife to be and i have allways tinkered with them so she should of known what she was getting into before i married her Having said that i am sure she secretly hates the car and the bike and only tonight she suggested that i turn the garage into my office I then suggested that i turn the kitchen into my garage and she walked off
