mk2sav

Should be a 9 tooth pre engaged starter and think the only differences in flywheel is the size of the clutch (9 1/2 inch on our cars) . If you hear it moving to engage but wont spin up id be inclined to check earths first . The battery earth in the boot is critical on these because its a long way to the engine bay . an anomaly on original cars is that there are 2 solenoids as the mk2 before conversion had the separate one on the inner wing and then the other on the top of the starter and if you have this still its easier to bypass to put direct to starter to test . I did have similar issues with mine a while back where I had power to the solenoid but wouldnt turn on the key which turned out to be the wiring through the bulkhead . This was due to the ballast wire being cut out of the system by Uren with a ceramic block type resister in the wiring loom . I only mention this as you stated you had a new loom fitted so all would depend on what has been fitted on that new loom . cheers- Steve.

Yes , my era too . i bought a Remington shaver at the time but it was so square , you needed a chin like Desperate Dan to use it (more past memories eh !!)

great to see a long term project coming on - will have to buy some of what you're taking to get on with mine !!

If you have discs on the front , Cortinas do stop reasonably well if the system is working correctly but not to the standards of modern cars of course. I think your only option for a servo would be a remote one but they do come at a price !!

Yes - optional equipment on most Fords of the time and standard fit on 1300E Escorts . Some export markets had them as standard as well I think .

Not to argue with Craig but at least some of the 3 litre Capri ones were larger than the standard one . The one I had was marked 70EB for Capri .

Not sure if its the same as the early external linkage box as fitted to Capris or not - basically the same as a Mk3 Cortina one only larger !! I sold one of these on ebay recently and hesitate t say how much if went for and it wasn't only one or two bidders so you will struggle to find one I think (if it is the same !)

Ah , not so well up on the cable type but would expect it to be as Mk3 Cortina 71BB on the part but wait for Craig or someone to be sure .

I think it depends on which bellhousing/ clutch slave cylinder you are going to use ?

HI Mark - the motor shown by Tim is as he said an inertia starter , yours is an older design that without the solenoid on top is referred to as a positive starter and motors with the solenoid on are pre - engaged . Tims is no good for you as the bendix comes from the other side of the ring gear whereas the other two come from the engine side if that makes sense . Steve.

Mk2 s are the same as above - need a live to the light as you can switch interior light on via the switch and the pillar switches work by going to earth , so pillar switch needs to be out to complete the circuit .

Hi Paul , the only Mk2 with a tower type servo and dual circuit cylinder was for some of the export markets which also required a recess in the inner wing to make room so doubtful you would find that available here . You might be better off trying to find a servo that bolts to the bulkhead such as the later Cortinas but I dont know if there is room beside the inner wing or even if the bore sizes and suchlike would be suitable for the Willwood set up ??

I guess if you have to buy new and not able to use the GT cam in the engine at the moment , there are pro and cons for each of the aftermarket versions . Cant go too far wrong with A2 or Kent but the price of the kit is a bit prohibitive today . I just looked and like everything else , gone up a lot !!!

And even more of the same to all .
