We've used caps off Sierra's so there is every possibility that the Escort cap will be ok.

One thing to note though. The later stuff uses a Bosch plug so you have to modify the wiring.

It's a simple soulder and heatshrink job and I think the wires are the same colours.

How's that for service?

From memory I would guess that we may not do them up that tight.

Anyway, give it a go and if you still get a bit of wind up on the springs, back them off a bit.

The problem is not with the spring. You need to cover the pin and bearing surface of the top mount with copper grease. Then you need to do up the strut top nut correctly - sounds like you have it too tight - so the top sping seat is locked solid and can't follow the spring. Think there might be a to...

Superflex is a good product no question. The problems start when you try to order 10 complete kits at the same time. Chris Witor is to stock control, what Cyril Smith was to hang gliding. IF you phone first thing Monday and try to order a complete kit, a tenner say you will get no answer and if by s...

****NEWS FLASH****

We have been contacted by Deflex regarding producing bushes that we ordered 10 Months ago.

We are not counting any chickens just yet but it's a start.

If it all works out - you will be the first to know.

You need to decide what you want to achieve from the car and how realistic that is compared to your ability, facilities and budget. The forum is the place to get the info but without the space to work or the money to spend, it's not going to help much. Right now - the easy option is the 2.9 EFI - Gr...

Glad to see every one is happy with the bushes - wish we could get more. Since Spectra Dynamics / Deflex went bust and started again, all they now make is excuses. We have been trying to find a another Polyurethane specialist to make to our designs but we are just getting nowhere fast. Same old - sa...

Thinkyou may have spoken to Neil. We use the Sierra 4x4 engines because we buy 4x4's for the gearboxes. As it turns out - they seen to be much more spirited than the Granada engines we've seen. There is something else we've noticed too. The later 12V which have no air meters are a bit slow on the th...

195 is original fit but 205 is cossy size so better choice.

simple as that really.

look up www.mytyres.co.uk - click on 'enter shop'
and type in the size.

It's a quick and easy way to get a feel for prices, brands etc.

Drill out the spot welds and remove no problem.

The rad mounting pannels are not structural.

Look at www.caprisport.com - 24V or 2.9efi pages to see how to mod the front pannel.
