Wanted to buy - Escort Late Mk1 or Mk2 4spd Gearbox(es), Extension Housing Assemblies &/or Parts.
First, I need the speedo driving gears for a 4.125 Diff Ratio (as fitted to Mk2 1300 Panelvans) these are the Worm Drive Gear and the Pinion Gear that live inside the Gearbox Extension Housing.
The Worm Drive Gear has 6 Teeth (I am guessing this means a 6 start worm?) and its Part No. is 71BG 17285 BA, which should be marked on it somewhere. The 6T gear is standard fitment on later (1974-5) Mk1 Gearboxes, and on Mk2 Boxes fitted to 1976/77 - 1300cc Panelvans. The Pinion Gear is 23 Teeth and colour coded Blue, Part No. 71BG 17322 BA
(Gearboxes fitted to 1600s and 2L Pintos have 7 Tooth Worm Gears and different Pinion Gears & are the most common - that's what I have now & need to swap over as part of the rebuild)
Will consider a complete late Mk1 box or extension housing assembly with 6T worm gear still in it if anyone has these bits laying around. Happy to pay postage on the two gears if anyone has a set.
The 23T Pinion Gear is available new from Burtons in the UK if I get stuck but it's mainly the worm gear that I need to find.
Second, also need a Mk2 cast iron Bell Housing (no cracks or stripped threads) and Gearbox Housing and Gear Shift Lever assembly, will consider a complete Mk2 1300 or 1600 box suitable for rebuilding, prefer Adelaide pickup due to size & weight & convenience.
Cheers
