Re: tariffs

Tariff percentages are determined by country of purchase. I tried to buy strut mount caps for my Zephyr from basics in New Zealand. Here is their reply: Hi Pete Thanks for your question. We would like to ship these to you. Unfortunately our shipping partner NZ Post has put all parcel shipments on ho...

Re: CL - 1957 ANGLIA ~ ENGLISH FORD COUPE - $7,900 (AZ)

100E was 6 volt +grd. After '57 12 volt still +grd. It seems it has electrical issues. Voltage Regulator is a 12 volt RB340. Generator/ starter 6v or 12v ?

Re: CL-Low Mileage 1968 Ford Cortina GT - $26,000 (SC)

Fair price considering the cost of restoring a high mileage plus 60 year old car.
This will require a fluid flush, tires, some buffing to make it near new again.
Anyone with spare cash, and is looking for one, is the way to go.

Re: Mk2 Lotus Cortina on BAT

Seller said, " Original shell was replaced due to damage in '91".
Can it be, Brett, VIN tag came off your damaged '67 LC and re-bodied using a '69 Cortina GT.

Re: Vintage EnFo sign question

Hello,
A sign similar displayed at S&C Ford parts department in the 1960's to
late 1970's. I remember Frank at the EnFo counter. He retired around
1977.
Are you willing to sell these signs. I would be interested in buying one.

Re: strut insert installation

Ford of England admitted in one of the EnFo books that it was an engineering
mistake to install the bleeder on the bottom. On later cars it was
corrected.
Best way to bleed this type of system is to adjust the shoes tight against
the drum then bleed.

Re: CL-1966 Ford Anglia Super - $10,000 (CA)

I can vouch for John that it is a great car, I've worked on this car for couple of
years. Also, the clutch and starter motor is new and steering box has been rebuilt
I believe asking price is more than reasonable. He's selling for health reasons.

Re: strut insert installation

Sealed inserts won't require shock oil. If you have inserts without the outer casing then add 50cc 20w shock oil into the strut tube. Once the insert is in the strut tube screw down the gland nut ( make sure the threads are clean and undamaged ) Gland nut should be near flush with the strut tube aft...

Re: Mk2 Cortina Lower Control Arm ball joint rebuild

Hi Carl,

Years ago a suspension shop in San Jose inserted a universal ball joint
Within the cavity of the MK2 t/c arm. I don't know of anybody
doing that anymore.
Graeme of EnFord spares sells t/c arms 3034E-3078-TW @
$NZ136.00 ea which is very reasonable.

Re: Old scrapbook photos of mki & mkii meets and shows

I believe all Zephyr/ Zodiac MK2 grilles are interchangeable. For the Zephyr 2/56/57/10 206E-8153 Grille has the round Parking lights. While the low line 206E-8153B has oval types attached . According to the parts book . Images of high lines with later grilles are common and Zephyrs with Zodiac gril...
