hi

My ford escort mk1 was recently broken into, boot lock was broken speakers stolen... Now i want to close the boot lock and install a boot release cable.
Any one in classic ford land installed a boot release cable for escort Mk1??

any feed back would be greatly appreaciated

thanks guys

Iv been wanting to do this for ages. I got a boot release cable from an XY which I just gotta get around to putting in.
Just search eBay for 'boot release' and see what comes up.

Fitted my RS with an electric boot release, all up about $15.00 from memory.

I had my XC fitted with a cable release ages ago, it was a kit from Autobarn I think.

The electric opener will bigger the boot lid hinges.
The xc boot release is great for lowering the rear number plate.

vl commodore boot actuators work great and easily found at wreckers and fitted easy enough into a mk2 cortina some 15 tears ago

I scored one from a Cortina (same as XY-XC Falcon's).

I haven't fitted it yet and really don't know how it will fit. I see its got to slide into the boot lid on and I need something to pull the latch when the cable is pulled (piece of wire and a zip tie is looking the goods at this point).

Electric one will probably be a cheaper option as everyone is chasing these for their Falcon restorations.

A mate fitted a complete electric lock from a Focus boot into a mk2 Escort, i think he made a lock tab to suit but not hard, just fiddly.
