Re: Return to Capri ownership - some issues

Sunroof needs to drop below level of roof to slide under it, sometimes a gentle tap with side off your fist will drop it from closed position, and allow you to retract it, once open is selected and handle has been turned a few mm inside car, hope that works for you always does for me on sticky Capri...

Re: Brake Master

The larger bore ones haven't been available from my usual outlets for some time now. Past Parts can properly refurbish the original ones, far better than simply sticking in a set of seals. Thanks Caprigear, may come to that down the road, for now just want try diagnose these brakes, see if i can ge...

Re: Brake Master

If the pipe change doesn't sort it the ATE master cylinder for a Granada will fit. It has a slightly bigger bore but does the job and still seems available. Good to know Peter, what year, i got a 94 Granada shell just sitting had a 2.9 in it we took few years ago for something else, will take look ...

Re: Brake Master

have you got it piped correctly? it looks to me like the two outlets at the front are piped to one front brake and the rear line into the other? then the rear outlet, the pipe wiggles its way across the engine bay to the other front brake? i thought both front brakes are fed off the front of the ma...

Re: Brake Master

why do you want to replace it ? Looks OK from the outside . You can get new seals for them if you just want to freshen it up a bit. Im sure there will be a tutorial vid on you tube showing how to do the job :) Rebuilt with new kit already still not working, yes looks lovely, but must be something w...

Re: Decal and badge

Nice, anyone on here got a GT4 or know anyone with one :? Are you talking about the bonnet and side stripes? It would be a heck of a job measuring all of those! If you mean the bootlid decal, would it be the same "Capri 1.6" or "Capri 2.0" as on other models? Andrew. No Andrew l...

Re: What clutch is this ?

If it's a 23 spline friction plate and a smaller cover plate then I can get them. I think it's 190mm clutch for a 1.3 that was in it somehow, but i want to replace it with correct 215mm kit, but that will not fit on the flywheel, it must be 1300 flywheel as well, is that possible do you think ? jus...

Re: What clutch is this ?

So you're looking for a 23 spline friction plate but smaller cover plate than the standard 2 litre clutch? shouldn't be that difficult, most retailers go by parts books that have been wrong for years. You would think so right ? they both 23 spline friction plates, they both came from 2lt Pinto engi...

Hi, anyone, know of anyone making good Capri GT4 decals ???? Thanks I'm after some of those too, can't find any. I asked a couple of companies and we basically have track down the dimensions of the stickers and pass them on. Nice, anyone on here got a GT4 or know anyone with one :? thanks Tom
