Hi guys , 

i am looking to sort out a seperate  hazard loom for my Mk1 Escort Mexico . The problem i have is the 2 plastic multi plug shrouds have started to melt at sometime in their life so i am looking to replace them if possible , so if anyone has these in good condition  or even the ones off an old loom or indicator stalk i would be grateful for any help . Also i need the dash light shroud for the hazards that fits into the dash. If anyone can help me on that one too i would very much appreciate it . 

Cheers .

Dave.

Have you tried any of the kit car loom suppliers for the plugs ? I know you can get the looms to match the Sierra column switches an the like so a possibility you may be able to get one through those channels. Any numbers on the blocks? That you can do a search on. I know you would like to keep original but a replacement male / female block may be your only alternative.

we call repro CRAPREPRO or BURTONNESOFSHIT Colin, as it is always just that, CRAP & SHIT, I think Dave really wants original ford tbh, that's why hes asked here, which really means a used part, I think hes hoping you modders would have thrown something in the corner after fitting powered steering or a better ignition switch or similar scenario

I only suggested it as I have seen OE plugs on some of the looms. I wouldn't have suggested it otherwise knowing what Dave and yourself are like. Yes I have also seen the crappo on them aswell.

Unfortunately the wiring on the Tina came from autosparks del Col using brass soldered bullets and rubber connectors which I believe the escort had moved to inferior plastic connector blocks and moulded bullets. Hence the problems you have with the more modern escort.

Just to let you know i am still looking for both of those multi plug connector blocks in the photos . If anyone can help i would be very grateful . So any information to the whereabouts  even off other ford models would be a help and i can change my search .

Hi Dave, hope all is well.

 

Is the one your selling on eBay the one that is partly melted. I havent even started my mexico yet and probably wont for a good year or two as i now have a second child that is only 2 days old. Having said that i am sourcing parts as they come up and am looking for all wiring looms so wanted to know if the one on ebay is suitable for my 71 Mexico

No Stuart , 

 the reason i am after the plug and socket is for a good loom i have for my car with the  original ford labels on it . No the loom has not got the plug in top photo that is on another one .  I only sell good condition  , original parts that can actually be used on a car at reasonable starting prices . 

Hope this helps 

David .

Sorry Dave, I wasnt suggesting you were selling a bad part if that's how it came across. I couldnt see any damage but was just checking as i expect the price will raise quite a bit because you akways list well and as you say sell nice items.

Do you know if the loom will fit my 71 Mexico. Also do you have any others?

Stuart , as far as i know ....think  this can be fitted to an under dash loom that has the seperate  multi plug connectors for the indicator stalk as this is where it connects into using the above photo multi plugs . Hope this helps .
