Hi Nige , still here as well mate although nowhere near as much as i used to be , hope your good mate

looks good johnny !! i agree with hans the wheels suit it ,quit partial to a set of arch fillers

Hi johnny boy , i know i'm a bit late to the party but its the first proper chance i've had being without a pc for several months and only just getting up and running again , well done with all the hard work you have put in and glad the braking parts were of use and look good on too!!

hi johnny boy , might be able to help you with that ,i have a pair of complete standard calipers and discs i took off my 67 deluxe as im going over to vented so wont be using them , they were in use till i took the car off the road and were already refurbed albeit a while ago now with new pistons and seals as well......if i remember rightly i was in the process of repainting them when i decided to go vented instead so one caliper is gold the other unpainted .......can do this lot for £45 plus what ever the postage is if your interested just pm me and let me know plus i might need a few days to get at them............john

i have three sets of standard brake pads new and in the box,2 sets by metal fren and 1 set of borg & beck £15 a set posted second class signed for. i also have another couple of new sets unboxed £13.50 posted second class signed for. 2 x new standard pad pins sets £8 each posted first class signed for. a set of four new old stock nylon steering bushes,(just the bushes not a kit)£25 posted first class signed for. pm me if interested............

watched it a few times now , a bright orange 4 door xl , have to say i think it looked a very smart example when they had finished it .

thanks for that buddy and will certainly look into that,it is intended for a mk2 but will certainly give me an idea of how they were fitted up and equipment used

got to admit you had me with that one

well thats something i just learned !! factory fitted in Britain ? was it a special order or maybe and imported vehicle from warmer climes ?

cheers buddy,if i did ever do it it wouldnt be going in anything under a 1600 or at least that would be the plan anyway , was just a thought really to see if it might be possible maybe to rig up using scavenged parts from modern vehichles and keep on the cheap side. i have seen those units on the early mustangs and must admit they are a little accessory shop looking and although not 100% fussed about having the interior looking stock would like it to be to a degree so if that was my only option might have to find a way of making it blend in a little better .

hi all , i have been thinking about the possibility of fitting air con into one of the cortinas for some time , has anyone already done this before maybe using bits from modern cars or are there any retro fit air con kits available out there that anyone knows of ?? look forward to hearing your replies and ideas guys.....

jeeeeez .......certainly looks like its heading that way as all marks of cortina seem to be on the rise but thats an eye oepener to go that far past its reserve

sounds good Hans and we can too !!!!

Hi Hans,i have only just seen your post but a big thankyou for taking the time to have a look for me. i must admit its driving me a little nuts that i just cant find any definitive info anywhere that says exactly what it means in reference to the engine other than tall deck ...............thanks again Hans and wishing you a merry xmas from me and my lot to you and yours

must admit i never really thought of them being used in anything other than cars to be honest so makes sense i spose if they may have had different code numbers if being used in machinery instead of cars i just cant find a definite explanation of what the code stands for ,there were two1600 crossflows that came up recently on ebay and apparently both from cortina mk2s with the same identical numbers ending in DA as i have on my engine block but unfortunately neither of the adds shed any light with regards to what the numbers mean
