The Ford Capri Laser Page

Thats it Peter!

I removed mine many many years ago and must of chucked it as i cant find it anywhere (it was removed & replaced by a shiny item ) But I'd like to get an original back on there....

Hi everyone, does anyone have a spare grip for the mk3 handbrake lever? Ive seen complete units on ebay but only really need the grip

Thanks,
Nat.

Hey Nige! Shes coming along slowly, engine is now rebuilt (had forged pistons and more head work before being stored). Ive had the head off, skimmed it (to clean the faces only) and getting ready to refit it into the capri. Got along way to go yet though somethings gets added to the list everytime i...

At a guess I'd say it's probably be ok to use, the original item is a one way valve, allowing crank case vapours to be sucked into the inlet and burnt. The new one will still do that (confirm that's how works before installing it), but it will also allow vapours to escape when the engine not running...

Perfect! Thanks so much! Really helpful!

Hi all can anyone sort me out with some pics of how the brake pipes clip to the inner wings in the engine bay, on those raised round areas below the servo and expansion tank (2l pinto engine bay)? I can not Denver what the clip looks like and can't find anything in all the parts tubs that might fit ...

Does anyone know of a good replacement for the 2.0L servo push rod to bulkhead grommet? Mines just an outer ring of crumbling rubber now :cry: Does the mk 2 escort item fit/ work well? I can't seem to find a Capri one anywhere, Sierra looks similar but I don't have one to measure up. Any suggestions?

Thanks but a bit too rich for me, id rather spend the weekend fabricating one, which is going ro be my second option if i dont get hold of one by when i need it.
Cheers.

Hi, I'm on the hunt for a passenger side rear bumper bracket for the mk2, contact me if you can help.
Thanks!

Oh and I measured the end float while I was at it, 0.6 mm, seems a lot more when you can see the shaft move out and feel it clunk.

Ive popped the drivers side half shaft. Bearing is fitted correctly and all the float is in the bearing. Its a looser assembly than what I'm used to seeing in a sealed bearing but as Steve said new ones have about the same movement too. It appears in good condition, no seal damage and no metal piece...

Thanks to all the comments regarding the end float. I was as surpised as you to find end float wich is what prompted the initial post. Its equal on each shaft which leads me to believe that it could be normal, but i understand it could also be some wrong on both. I will pop the half shaft and doubl...

Thanks Tom! Glad you cleared that up for me

So the robot was for robot wars the bbc2 tv show back when i was around 15/16 years old. I named it eradicator. I was always interested in mechanical things (thanks dad) and loved watching the show. So i decided to build one! Went to the studios competed in some battles, winners get to go on the tv ...

I really appreciate you taking the time to measure a new bearing, that puts my mind at ease regarding the end float. Im considering fitting an lsd diff unit and im a fairly experianced mechanic so with a good read up, i feel i could complete a swap / rebuild & set up myself. I understand about t...

Hi you lovely lot! Ive been tinkering with the capri recently and have discovered end float / play in the half shafts of 1 to 2mm. Is this normal? No leaks from the bearing seals. I did fit new bearings years ago, probably put a few thousand miles on them, then stored until now. Each shaft has rough...

Hi everyone, hopefully some of you will remember me from waaay back! I still have my capri and its still supercharged! It's sitting on the drive waiting to be finished off, its been there since i moved away from these forums a good few years ago - marriage, house and kids have filled the gap between...

Hi everyone!
