Hey mate, sweet finding that plastic piece for the indicator stalk 👍 , i was going to say the stalk was also used in mk1 Capri, MG , some minis and possibly Hillman's of the same era but finding such parts now there is 5x worse than here in Aust !! 😎

Thanks for the heads up! :) You can now buy mk2 escort stalks brand new quite cheaply and some people convert their mk1s to run them but I didn't really want to so I'm glad George found that bit of plastic.

Recently fitted led bulbs into the dial illumination on my Mk1 Fiesta, caused issues and looked crap. Went back to the normal bulbs, much better. Great Videos. Keep em coming👍

Only thing I don't like about the mk1 is the dodgy looking wiring, shes looking good apart from that.

How much Did they charge you for the type 9 rebuild Marcus please

The labour was £350 + vat Matt. :) The large laygear bearing modification by BHG geartech was £125 + vat. The total I payed including the replacement of 2 syncro rings and the input shaft was £633 including vat. . . . . I supplied my own bearings and seals which cost roughly £250 i think and the longer 1st gear kit was roughly £300 i think. The lads at HPE are very helpful and friendly so defo give them a call to discuss ur options. :)
