Rebuilding the customers Escort Part 2... Wiring and Gearbox!

In this video I do a bit of wiring to convert the crossflow loom to pinto spec with electronic dizzy, and talk about how to successfully (and not) fit a type 9 box into a standard tunnelled Mk2.

Nice reminds me went I built mine and started with a mint shell and a expensive paint job in two pack venetian red and full chocolate brown RS 2000 fishnets etc, and 2.1 pinto on twin 40s and rolltop Bilstein sprung for night events but the car turned out so nice I didn't rally it.

Going to be a beauty when she’s finished Kris your doing a great job

Small wire black section is a fusible link. It’s designed to heat and break if there is an issue. Need to replace it with new one or a fuse not sure what rating it would be , looks good, good work, :)

Hi Kris, from across the pond.... Doing nice work on that escort. Thumbs up ! Looks great !

[@AliMackMechanical]

Man i hate wiring. But your getting there buddy. We all need wee reminders lol. 👍 spot on man.

[@CrashValleyCustoms]

The one small wire at the end is a fuseable link, it will melt like a fuse if there's a short circuit, I had one fuse on a mk1 fiesta once, the alternator wire had touched the exhaust and melted, 😉👍

Careful you don't scratch the edge of the wing, with those wires.

[@AndrewSandilands-tk6st]

Blimey, looks like you could do with some shelving there to organise your parts lol

[@AndrewSandilands-tk6st]

Oh plenty of KZbin videos on the way with that lot then 👌 lol

[@SkylarkCamperAdventures]

Better just replacing the black bit of cable and replace the whole length back to the joint with decent red. If it was being kept as absolute standard I could understand.

[@Legnum666]

Sorry, just seen the other comments!, should have read them first lol! :)
