For cabs a 70 amp is fitted as standard, so that 80 amp is more than ample.

 

However, that ebay one is far too expensive. More suited for fussy concours peeps who want that Bosch original look when restoring cars.

 

But any motor factors should be able to source a 70amp suitable for the Mk4 Escort, for much cheaper than £130.
