I’m after a pinto alloy rocker cover, ideally one with the recess on the side so it can be used with the auto choke set up. New or used . Cheers Rob

Back again with another MK1. Sold my Le Mans green Mexico rep back at the end of 2017, have missed it ever since, had a MK2 1600 Sport with a spanker of an engine in it but now back and the proud owner of a genuine AVO 1973 RS2000. Would love to know if anyone has any previous history or information about it.

Think you may be correct first time. Look like genuine flat RS3100 wheel centres, However they do also look like 1600e Cortina type Rostyle centres. maybe they are the same apart from Rostyles have a black centre and Capri ones have the RS logo. Google it and you'll see.

have a mate wanting a Mk1 Cortina. He would prefer a 4 door but any would do if right. Must be straight on the body and doesn't mind some fettling here and there. Will travel and unto around £8000

theres a very tasty green 4 door mk2 on one of the Retards Club sites , Hot rod fords , running a 1760 on forties. looks stunning ......But on a 1970 J reg which of course rings major alarm bells ...

Heres another question then ??? If I use a bike pump, which appear to have a plug with 2 wires ( assume neg and pos) will I need a relay or can I just find a live and earth and have an inline fuse ?? Cant say car electrics are my strong point, so if I need a relay any ideas on what would go where ?? Cheers again Rob

Im actually still using the pinto mechanical furl pump with a Sytec fuel regulator. I have it set right down to 0.5psi at mo !! It started at 2psi but even reducing it had no impact. I didn't know about the bike pump switching off and you can get new replacement R6 pumps on eBay for £20 so think thats gonna have to be looked at . Blue Ass In see you in East Mids too? Where abouts?

Will try and get some pics and video up but seem to have been locket out of my photo bucket account

Glad its not just me !!! i wonder if re starting it may help ?? Maybe with the bowls full of fuel it may have freed off floats ? Gonna have a tinker later and will get the the bottom of it as they look good and first impressions are they will be well.. Once the leaks sorted !! Strip and clean then later if no better.

Wow .. That is some price !!

yes fitted at an angle , they are keihin cvr carbs.. will check floats and valves and hopefully that will sort it . Runs lovely but just fuel dripping everywhere.

They are R6 carbs. Been running on a 2.1 Pinto . Gonna check needle valves and hopefully its just something silly. Just worried that as they've been chucked about by the courier that its something more sinister Will get some pics uploaded.

I've just fitted some bike carbs to my pinto. Supposedly fully working but arrived in a box that looked like 20 elephants had sat on with a second set of carbs damaged with various pieces of metal at the bottom of the box. The cars fired up and currently have a regulator set at 0.5 psi but there is fuel dripping quite badly out carb overflows when running. Anyone had experience of this at all? Could the box being used as a football have caused internal damage to them?

Cheers for the update dt36. I have a Bestek set up on the car already but don't want to waster time/effort on bike carbs if a waste of time and getting mixed reviews. Thinking a nice new set of Weber 45s is the way forward .
