The Ford Capri Laser Page

How people will approach it is dependent on how you advertise it on Ebay; whether for Auction, for a Buy It Now price or a Classified advert. Each have their merits In the case of a classified ad you will find buyers who are more likely to want to view and will be more likely to be happy with leavin...

The difference between a base 1.6 Pinto and a 1.6 S was the presence of the 32/36 carb and a 2 litre camshaft (both are bog standard 2 litre items). This increased the bhp from 73 to to 91. (The 2 litre is between 99 and 101bhp) Received wisdom is that you can achieve at least half of this bhp incre...

Is there a reason you aren't just swapping to a good used 32/36 Weber and 2.0 inlet manifold ?

Ordered. Im still only half way through the last one.

Have you tried Martin as I know he was breaking a Laser.

Theres now even an all in 1 fuel injection system that looks like a standard downdraft carb. Theyve been around as replacements for 4 barrel stuff for a while but are now being made as a 2 barrel eg. 32/36 replacement to fit on a standard manifold.

It depends very much on the condition and how complete it is etc. If you could post some photos we can all give our view.

Webcon should be able to supply a replacement float should you need it .

Cosmicbike seems to have had a good experience of them for Weber parts on his long running laser 1600 thread

Try to get hold of Arya2.0S as he has repaired turbo tails and also made a replica

If no joy with them its worth trying Nial Diamond on 07938 438515 , another of the well regarded Capri breakers and parts sellers on here.

Bondy, it would be great if you joined in the forum a bit. Its not just a source of spare parts

I replaced the rear flexible brake hose on mine for a Hel braided one when i swapped the axle and noticed a definite improvement in pedal feel. The standard front hoses look quite new but I will probably get round to replacing them with braided ones in due course.

Check that the bulb hasn't gone first before you remove the white cover. The standard black fascia itself is a vinyl sticker, mostly opaque but with coloured translucent sections for the illumination to shine through. i replaced mine a while ago as it had a few scratches. The white after market ones...

Get a price from Martin on the ones he has. My experience with martin is that if he says they are good then they will be good as new.

Quick but sadly the extra weight and wind drag of the car body will shorten the life of the bike engine. When i was into kit cars the bike engined cars were usually in two states, being driven impressively fast over short distances or else on axle stands having their engines rebuilt, again. people d...

+1 for the Aldi compressor. Fantastic for the price and certainly strong enough for most jobs you would encounter

I think he meant flooding the cylinders e.g over rich fuel mix rather than actually visibly flooding out of the sides of the carb.

The single leaf springs for the 2.8i will fit and will do the job perfectly. They are in use on probably the majority of 4 cylinder cars now . Theres no need to change anything else either- though having said that if any of the bushes look worn its an ideal opportunity to replace them with Superflex...

The mystery continues. When you pulled up outside my house the other day I could swear you had a shark grey interior. A couple of hours and a few coffees later and it had turned into half leather. The shark grey looks great in my 1983 car and we both now have age appropriate interiors. Excellent res...

It has to be said I do adore the look of the current Mustang. With the styling and finish Ford have managed to make it downright prestigious as well as somehow every inch a Mustang, even though like Dr Who the car changes with every incarnation. Hang on, paint it green and give it a different name, ...
