Do you have the " secret" dash light switch ? Just found mine , and it would be easy-peasey to use it to kill the ignition circuit...

John

Failing that I've just fitted a battery isolator switch...

Forget the kit and get some screwed bar,here's mine

John

..or use grease and the above method..

John

If you tighten the front nut/bolt I think you will find the rear spacer ( built into the alternator) will/should slide into the alternator allowing it to align the pulleys...

Thank you...and now about lubricating the fuel gauge....

Thanks

Not wanting to drift the thread but ,removing the gold faced speedo from a '58, is it simply a matter of loosening the two side screws or do they have to be removed completely ?

Sorry/Thanks
John

Just a couple...
bugger,they're all too big .. will have to try and reduce the sizes

John

Too many to mention....and rising daily,anything specific and I'll post.

John

You've had the engine out...you haven't connected the dynamo wire to the oil pressure switch and vice-versa?

John

A little bit of fine emery cloth is your friend....take out the fuses and clean the end caps till they look like metal,the same with the fuse holders...

At the wheel end ? I am going to castellate ( 44 ) the rim of the disc and the rim of the brake drum and mount the sensors as best I can , other than that basic wiring and plumbing....anytime over 8mph and the brakes are applied it monitors the rotational speed of each wheel,if any appear to have lo...

The complete car was £250,which gave me the 75k miles 2.0 Zetec engine and ABS unit,just fitting the disc brake conversion and servo at the moment and am stockpiling the type 9 gearbox ( will shorten by 4" ) and Escort back axle....just wondered about the diff ratio...the Quaife ATB is attached...

I think the dustbin would be the best place for it,from reports I've heard..

John

Is it a "Powerline" servo ?
