yes, they come with a variety of door mounting flanges and fit well.

hard to believe ive had this motor almost 18 years in various guises....its spec has changed many times,.....getting more bits added as time has passed! i did an xe transplant in the mid 2000,s at the time it changed from yellow to blue after a full body resto, and after a few years running 45 dellorto,s i upgraded it to jenvey throttle bodies and mbe management a few years back along with fast road cams, lightened flywheel and capri 2.8i type 9 box replacing the std sierra one i had fitted.. i had it on 7 inch ronal 4 spokes for a while before changing to 7.5 jbw 4 spokes using anglia van halfshafts in a narrowed english casing to get the back end squatting nicely! i stumbled across a few pics, old and recent lately, and thought id share!! and heres a few pics in her recent spec.....

i run the tex mirrors on my mk1 too, ..great that theyre still available to buy new.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-PAIR-TEX-TYPE-DOOR-MIRROR-MGB-MIDGET-MINI-AUSTIN-MORRIS-BRITISH-LEYLAND/401528426765?hash=item5d7cf5910d:g:yFsAAOSwnc1a4cY0

you do know the date has been changed mate? http://www.rally.ie/index.php/stories/180129-085734

will see if i can find any additional info and pm you mate. stage locations usually arent given out until a day or so before the event to prevent illegal recce etc.

you will deffo enjoy it mate...awesome event!!

i dont do any competiton with the mk2 anymore,...just a couple of drift track days a year for the laugh,....ive tidied it up a bit and made it road legal along with a nicer clutch and exhaust tunnel etc so i can take it on runs and stuff. im actually enjoying the car more being able to do different stuff with it at less expense!!

havent been on here for yonks....had an issue logging on but all good now! still trying to keep on top of my old motors!! my mk2 escort and transit have seen recent makeovers and the mk1 is still holding out reasonably well!

i modded mine to take the escort wheel. to save me explaining take a look at page 3 of my thread here. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=120600&p=1299636#p1299636

i really enjoyed the article on sir roger, great stuff.

quality vid!

great mag this month, well done chris.

the professionals is quality for sure, i cant help thinking the rs could have done with a slipper in some of the chases !!

was thinking it was gonna be something special to replace the orange mk1 lush motor paul best of luck with her.

Love the look of that mate, so un cluttered and clean cheers mate, a lot of hiding went on with that build alrite!!!

mine in stages!!! finished product!!

beautiful van, just sits so right on the steels, its a shame it still doesent get out and about.

gorgeous van!!

awesome show. great pics there, well done john.

ya, phase 1 mk2 transit ones are identical. i do see new ones on the bay from time to time.

class pics aled, great run by the looks of it.

im now running 8 inch wheels on the back of the drift car with nankang 185,60,13,s. in my case its for more rear end grip but asides from that the thread width on the nankang im using is wider than any other 185, 13 ive seen. doesent look at all stretched on the rim. the tyre your after is a nankang toursport xr 611. hope this helps.

i was bidding on that one too!! nice lookin motor that, best of luck with her.

im there!

sounds very simple if the inner wings dont need changing. but dont the mk1 inner wings fall down at the front towards the mk1 slam panel where as mk2 inner wings more or less keep the same level all the way out. all very interesting!!
