Also how did you get a new boot seal, as i think i could do with one too. :blink:

 

boot seal, doors, door seals are from the donor mk4 in the picks

!!! BAD NEWS !!!

 

Just been back to collect my clutch cable, what a disaster! It appears that at some point, someone has changed scrappy's pedal box :angry: , there is no cable listed for an escort that matches the cable & pedal fitted to scrappy. Due to this disaster, Scrappy will not be attending the Weston Park show :angry: . It seems that I will now need to find an escort clutch pedal with ratchet and then reorder the cable. Most annoying being as I had both said items up until about two weeks ago before the scrap man came and took the old mk4 shell :angry: !!!!!!!!

 

Looks like Scrappy has just become a long term pain in the a**, I mean project :angry: :angry:

Looks really good Simon, especially in black as there aren't many black cabbies about. Sorry to hear about your clutch problems, it will be a shame if you can't come to the show.

 

Look forward to the next update.

 

thanks

Avril

Here is the dodgy clutch pedal with the homemade bodge connection.

But, thanks to Avril, things are now back on track and the correct pedals are being installed :biggrin:
