Great video👍

Thanks Craig lad 😀, you never let us down 👍👍👍

Brilliant thanks Craig I'll get a photo of the wires of the large plug tomorrow, may help others in the future 👍😁

🤣no worries Craig lad, but thanks for this I've still two days off, will get stuck in on this 👍

Yes mate exactly, Craig has given me a bit of guidance, but not exactly sure where to move the plugs on the connector

Yes mate MK3 Facelift , I've added lights on the board, so I know the two inner connections must be for the rev counter, that's all I know

Can anyone help? I'm a dummy when it comes to the sparks, here is what I've got to work with, going into Cortina rev counter clocks

Cheers lad I'll keep an eye out

Yes Craig it's not shaking the car to bits anymore, yes I need the cross member for my gearbox, I bought an escort one and added to it to fit, but again it's heavy duty , so it ain't staying

Well, don't buy eBay nasty engine mounts or anything stating "heavy duty" means bone shaker and vibration. Bought some online that shows the mount on the rubber are separate, yes a nice bit of rubber in-between where they bolt on, also the rubber feels slightly softer. Apparently the ones I had on are cheap Chinese possibly, where the bolt goes straight through making them rock solid, I didn't know this about mounts so hope it helps someone . Does anyone have a picture or actually have the type of gearbox mount I need for my type 9 box? Thanks

Much better, tighter more precision with the steering now, still vibrating though. I'm torn now, thinking, did I buy naff to hard engine mount rubbers, does one piece prop need balancing, I bought from a company, they made it to long and had to cut and reweld, I wonder did they bother rebalancing it, and ideas?

That would be great,i will look too. Just put column and connector to rack on , let's hope along with column bearing, no more vibrations

Hate electric s but I'll look, cheers Craig

So, attacking rattling at mo, as you can see on the video connector from rack to column bush worn out, looks original, I'm.replacing with a new unit tomorrow, also fitted new column top bearing and so called lower bush,bits two bits of plastic, really poor I've used silicon to bond them together and also up the bottom end of the column, let it go off over night, doesn't rattle around, hope it lasts, I'm also rubber mounting the column, keep you updated if it improves, should do , the top column bearing had play , that's gone now On another note, anyone know what wires I need to wire up my rev counter? Thanks 👍 VID_20251219_193809.mp4

Does anyone have a picture of how face lift dash board clocks are mounted? Mines never have that piece of the jigsaw since I've owned it, thanks
