Mk1 Capri stereo install
Hi folks, I’ve been thinking about fitting a stereo to my Mk1. I’m not big into listening to music but sometimes it could be nice to have something to listen to in the background on long drives when the conversation runs out. My problem is I refuse to cut the dash to fit the head unit or cut any met...

Re: Ashley 4-2-1 pinto manifold
Thanks for those.
Unfortunately I can't see if it will clear my starter motor. If you can imagine your starter motor on the other side of the engine in the same location do you think there would be enough space for it?
Thanks,
Kev

Ashley 4-2-1 pinto manifold
Hi, Can anyone running an Ashley 4-2-1 manifold on a pinto engined Capri please post up some pictures to show me the routing of the manifold. Does the manifold run on the inside or outside of the steering shaft? I want to buy a 4-2-1 manifold for my Mk1 but my Capri is LHD. This is fine as I don't h...

Re: 2.8 master cylinder options
Personally I'd go for the new master cylinder every time. Redress kits could easily be of questionable quality or NOS that have been laying on a shelf for years. At least with the ATE or TRW master cylinder it's coming from a large company that has a reputation to keep and safety standards to follow...

Re: Mk1 Capri alternator upgrade.
Thanks for the info.
Do you know the part number and what your alternator can off?
The biggest alternators I can find are for a Mk3 2L transit at 100 amps.
Thanks.

Mk1 Capri alternator upgrade.
Hi, I'd like to fit a bigger alternator to my Capri but I'm not sure how to go about it. Am I right in thinking that old fords had an external regulator? If so is this it? http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a306/Kev_Ush/8502F520-7FCA-4B51-B121-9B1764DF46C0.png And a new alternator will have a built i...
