I keep getting told my 76 MK2 Escort Mexico should have black door handles "Only Ghia's had chrome one's". Gives me the right hump it does, also got told "Only Cortina Pinto Engines had blue rocker cover, cam belt cover & blue air filter""Should be black on Escorts to identify the smaller length block" !!!!!???? W.T.F. !!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I only remember "She's got a four speed on the floor", "She's got new pistons, rod's & shocks, so she can get off the rocks", I don't remember the naughty bits, sure it was around 77/78, and I was just smoking around in my Cortina MK2 1300 Delux, it was knackered, it struggled to do 40 in 3rd !!??, but it was my first set of wheels MUN 456G, bought a MOTOROLA MW/LW radio & speaker for it, and that was the tune on the radio at the time, boy that brings back memories, massive back seat, but cold with no pants on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, oh just remembered I was single then, "I was just showing the girl my Tattoo, it said "WENDY" , could get the tattoo to say " WELCOME TO BARBADOS HAVE A NICE DAY" if it was a warm night !!!!!!?????. I'll get me coat.

Battery Clamp Bolt for mk2 RS2000
caprimk1v4 replied to malcolmrs2000's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD PARTS WANTED
Poss that the garage "LOST IT ON PURPOSE" !!!!!??????, Very rare bolt with trapped on locking washer. I had 6 brand new ones at the start of this year, and all 6 sold within a month at £55 each, I have put 2 new ones on my own Escorts, so should have the old one's somewhere in the boxes of stuff, if I find one in the next few days while ferreting about, I will let you know. My 1970 MK1 capri 3000E also was fitted with a new one and the welded nut in the battery tray was still metric M8, so poss MK1 Escort would be M8. !!??. -
Not ASH, that was later, when the rear brakes overheated and set fire to the lot.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Escort MK2 manual Choke Cable securing Nut.
caprimk1v4 replied to caprimk1v4's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD PARTS WANTED
You are very much welcome my mate, you sorted me out when I needed something, so I feel better returning the help. I don't have anything that has the horseshoe cylinder clips, and I am sure you have a MK1 Escort and I am 98% sure they have them on, the same as my MK1 Capri's did, so more use to you than they will be for me, and I have a box of 50 Genuine Ford Crossflow rocker cover gaskets, so a pair for your future use. Thanks Rich your a "BUDDY". Ta. Al. -
Escort MK2 manual Choke Cable securing Nut.
caprimk1v4 replied to caprimk1v4's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD PARTS WANTED
RICH T is ACE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. He gave me one of his NUTS for free. It was a really nice NUT round with a nice 50p edge to it, it had a nice feel to it, as I rolled it around in my fingers and have since screwed it onto the bottom of my knob (Choke knob that is). When I pull my knob out on a cold morning Rich, I will be thinking of you.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????????. Let me know if your looking for anything for your motor mate, see if I can return the favour. Cheers. Al. -
"Love it. I had the exact same car when we needed a 4 door, after 2 kids popped out of my Betty's flower." Hurt my lungs laughing to what "dt36" said, bloody brilliant, you will have to wear "Rubber Gloves" next time you are going "GARDENING" !!!!!. Made my day that has. Oh yeah, nice Sierra as well, forgot all about the car.

Anyone need or know of anyone that wants a very good used Ford Granada MK2 Saloon rear heated screen.!!!!!!!!. Been in my garage for last 10 years or more, I don,t have a Granada any more so this spare rear screen is no use to me now. Don,t want anything for it, but it would have to be collection, seems a shame to throw it in the skip, might be of use to someone to use or keep like me as a spare. Located in North Wales. Cheers. Al.

Hello from Worcester - Cortina Brake upgrade
caprimk1v4 replied to straightouttanaunton's topic in NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCTIONS
Hi, did you get any further with this problem !!?? Yes I agree with Rally Pack 2000 QH CYLINDERS are as good as the Girling ones, be good to know if you fixed the problem and what caused it. -
Escort MK2 manual Choke Cable securing Nut.
caprimk1v4 posted a topic in OLD SKOOL FORD PARTS WANTED
Hi, Converted my Escort MK2 from auto choke to manual choke, with a new Weber carb and new genuine Ford choke cable. But the new choke cable did not come with a nut to secure the cable to the steering wheel cowl, not sure what thread it is, I have tried metric nuts and nothing fits, so if anyone has a nut for sale or could say what it is I am searching for, would be ace. Cheers. Al. -
You will also need to look out for a front bowl sump, as most crossflows from Capri's & Escort's will be rear bowl and they will not fit into a MK2 Cortina engine bay, and front bowl 1600 sumps are like hen's teeth. You might be able to modify your existing 1300 front bowl sump to clear the larger crank throw, so don't get rid of it.
