im not disputeing the fact that you have it as a second car, its just that oldskoolford probably isnt the best place to ask as not many people will hvae much knowledge about newer escorts, as i said before try Alcoholics Anonymous of maybe even tuborsport and im sure you'll get an instant response :wink:

As Tim said, I think the main shell on Mk5/6 are the same. Try ringing ford and see if they have the same part number.

To answer yes it'll fit but you'll find the mk6 has an additional bolthole to allow the mounting of an electric sunroof motor easier

Its still possible to do on the mk5 cassete just requires a support bracket to be manufactured.

 

If you need a casette let me know i;ve got 3 from mk5s

 

 

Oh and to be really geeky

 

Theres the Mk5a and 5b and the MK6

All bodyshells from 1990 - aug 1994 are identical, after this they changed floorpan and put the front suspension back an inch or so to give much needed castor improving the handling

 

Everything else externally is cosmetic - 5b had diff back end well light surrounds and tailgate, mk6 had same backend but a solid bumper rather than a bumper with an insert

5b also had a different bonnet (and bonnet catch)

MK6 had whole new front end but the main slams still the same just the lower light panels need to be changed to convert one to the other.

 

Err mk6 doorhandles (and thuus doors) differ

Errr mk6 side reps are different but you can swap front wings if needed.

 

Floorpan differences are best spotted bv where the seat adjusts the early ones have the seat adjuster on the side while later ones have it on the front

 

mk5 seats have a removable subframe whereas on mk6 they dont so to fit recaros etc. ina mk6 use a mk3.5 fez subframe

 

 

ANwho geek spiel over, if only i knew as much about capris :P

To fit mk6 cards to a mk6 you'll need to drill out the L shaped bracket on the door and rmeove it, this acts as a mounting oint for the handle on mk6 doorcards

 

To do the reverse ideally you want to add the brackets but its not essential!
