Got to Tatton park today and the club stand next to us was the mk2 oc and I saw a car and thought, wow John Robinson has travelled a long way for this show, but no it wasn't him, hope your well John.

Ok, a bit naughty this post, just bought myself a mk2 Granada estate, looking for a single DIN Bluetooth stereo with four wY speaker out put that can also do cd's, any advice please, halfords want to sell me all these flip fronted jobbies. Cheers Tony

On the top of the head, it's a stop tap, angled inlet / outlet brass fitting, my one just won't stop leaking, more ptfe tape on it than it should have

Have a 1500 pre-crossflow engine mated up to a type 9 5 speed box, any advice on which starter motor will fit at all please? Thanks Tony

thanks all for your reply's, type 9 is going into a consul classic with a 3.77 diff, it fits perfectly only modification to bodywork will be new hole for gear leaver, for any one else that would like to do the type 9 conversion on a pre-cross flow engine here's what you need. cross flow clutch cover 23 spline clutch to fit inside the clutch cover (retro ford do them) i have made a gearbox mount to suit my motor (you will need to do this as well) sierra / Capri prop end shaft (thanks to the-ford-cortina.com) and your prop either made new or adjusted to fit the new gap if your going with cable then you will need a clutch pedal to replace your hydraulic one and a speedo cable modification (available from Old Ford Autos) hydraulic modifications are available but I found them to be very expensive. im not too worried about the having to change down gears on hills and most of the shows I do are well over 100 miles away so motor way cruising is more important to my ears :D if I have missed any thing off feel free to add to it Tony

Thanks, have been told I need a new custom made prop, so going to look into that :(

Has any one got a type 9 gearbox prop shaft end? Thanks Tony.

3:5.4 way too expensive, already have the 3:77 fitted so the type 9 is a cheaper option.

Am running a 1500 pre cross flow at the moment on a standard 4 speed box, looking to upgrade to a type 9 box, any one got any advice at all? Any modifications I might need to do? Would any type 9 fit onto a pre cross flow? Thanks Tony

As per the tittle, Wanted please 28/36 Webber twin choke carb. Thanks Tony.

it's to go onto a 1500gt engine please :D

as per the tittle, does any one have a pre crossflow exhaust manifold they would like to sell please. many thanks Tony

Looking good John, wish mine was coming along a tad faster than it is

I recognise that from Facebook classic & capri group, I have a 2 door consul classic :)

Ok found out that M16 calipers will fit, so any mk 3,4 or 5 calipers for sale any one?
