Re: Electrics and wiring

Thanks for the advice. I am trying to make a new loom.
I am thinking to remove all the old cabling, replacing with new and applying a sealant and rubber to cover?

Electrics and wiring

Does anyone know what this connector is called and are they available new? They look like tow bar connectors... I wonder if they are the same? Image

Re: Searched ,electrically adjustable outside mirror

As Steve said fx4 black cab had the electric mirror which is a match for the capri. I got one a while ago and fitted it. Ran it off a Ford electric mirror switch. They do come up on ebay but getting rarer. I think if I remember rightly the fx4 was called a fairway?

Re: Princess calipers

Thanks Peter. They are the retainers and I got them in the right place it's just they are too small for the wide body caliper! Got told by the seller they don't bother including the larger size as nobody uses them? Anyway I have sourced new bigger ones. Tha ks for the help

Princess calipers

I am trying to fit Princess calipers to my 2.8. I have some black spring clips but cannot work out where they go? Also do I need spacers? I have 2 shims on the caliper bolt and it seems ok?
Thanks in advance

Horn wiring

I have a non functioning horn on my 2.8i 1986. I have checked the horn itself, it works. I have checked the earth on the horn - all is good. I have taken the switch apart and cleaned it up. I cannot work out the wiring at the switch though, there are 2 plugs, one is for the indicators and high beam,...

2.8i fuel system

I have replaced the accumulator on my Capri. Does anyone know where I can get 2 new unions for it? Any idea of sizes? Also does anyone know the length and dimensions of the fuel lines to the metering head?
Thanks
