:) Yeah ,springs that are to short for proper fit will move about ,wether they are made short or just sacked out, which is why I mentioned the shorter Gaz shocks....specially designed for shorter springs :banghead: :xd: . I guess too that with roller top mounts springs that are on the threshold of c...

Can't see how it makes a difference what brand of spring you use they still don't rotate with the strut.Cant be a coincidence that anyone twerking or racing escorts and capris fit roller top mounts fairly early in the evolution of the build . Burton supply Gaz inserts that are made to fit strut assy...

Either 1/4" or about 3/4" depending on how you arrange the spacer kit on the strut.

The mounts I got are mp167 And the bush kit is mp180 Hot tip, when Burton's refer to large hole and small hole top mounts they are refering to the size of the hole in the inner guard under the bonnet that the mount bolts into ....not the size of the hole in the bearing that the strut fits thru . The...

Yep Def sounds like a loose pinion . What happens is under load the pinion get pushed toward the front of the diff which allows the c/wheel and pinion mesh to go wild. When you lift off the throttle the pinion is then dragged towards the rear of the diff . If the pinion nut gets loose enough the pin...

Blue , I think , and they tend to crumble and disintegrate over time, heat from the bulb didn't help , so there may only be remains left. Remembering that the dash lite dimmer will no longer work you might want to think about just how bright you want the dash to be . Over bright gets real hard on th...

Dave , once the rubber has deteriorated to the point that it has split .....I don't think there is much you can do . Any repair should be considered temporary . Is there any way ( depends on where the crack is ) that you could get a bit of stainless sheet that could be made to look like a custom bra...

They will lighten the steering a bit . I got top mounts with a bearing mounted in rubber so you get the benefit of a bearing without the harshness of a solid mount ( got em off Burton's ), I can't get past the fact that when steering the springs get wound up one way and down the other :headscratch: ...

Oh ,I had a much better answer than that :poke: :xd: , but when I tried to submit it poxy website want me to log in (I had already ) ,told me the same password was wrong twice and right once and deleted my dissertation .....so I thought fuck this , where's the gin. :P Went something like this :burno...

carrier bearings don't leak oil when they are knackered

About 10 bucks more , but, um , I wouldn't want it delivered underarm soooo, yeah I'll stick with Amazon

Gasp ! ....she took the Capri

I found from the Brooklands site that the book is only available via Amazon...$79nz on my doorstep , which is about what the Haynes manual would cost here.

Awesome , Thanks for that Andrew

Do you ( anyone ) know if this orange book is still available ? .
For small print I use my phone camera hooked up to the telly, I stuck an old fag packet to the pH to hold it level and a consistent distance from the type , then just move it round like a mouse

So , is that a yes or a no?

I bought my willwood set up as a kit with all the mounts ect, I would think that if another sized m/cyl was needed it would have been in the kit , or at least some mention of it . Pads are important , don't be tempted to go for race pads ,or even track day pads for a road car ,you will be disappoint...

I have a MK3 ........and the block of Haynes toilet paper ,and as far as correct wiring diagrams .....forget it ,which is a pain in the arse coz ford did some weird stuff when they wired that car
Thanks for posting these diagrams ,very helpful

Oh there are a few extroverts out there ( you know , stupid hair do , face full of metal ) fortunately very few of them would know coolness if it bit them on the arse (watch out for studs ) and thusly tend not to have Capris. But your right ,Matt/satin black is probly correct for most Capri trims , ...

Here is the best thing about doin it yourself..." What colour and finish does sir prefer "? Whilst as close as possible to stock has always been a popular option ,the world, according to Frankie, is indeed your oyster
