I've got a couple of old looms floating around as well so let me know if any more plugs and sockets are needed.
 
As far as sourcing from the UK, postage is really slow at the moment which is understandable. My last order (July) from Burtons took 3 weeks even though the d^%^$&*s still charge full rate with DHL and state 3 days door to door after dispatch. I was not impressed and told them so but they couldn't give a hoot.
I would highly recommend looking to see if you can source anything from the US. They are really into Lotus and they are much better at customer relations.

Thanks for the response guys, ill see how my local leads pan out if not by the end of the week ill send out some PMs.

Yes ive not been impressed with postage from UK during this time, that been said i ordered some smalls from America and they arrived pretty quickly. Not bad for a country in choas.

I feel ya on the 2min noodle thoughts, i did that to fund my evo - 20k motor that lasted less then 2000km. But thats a story best left in the past.

For more inspiration how good is this video from chris harris, im sure the same principles could be applied to a escort to make a damn fun car. And gets me thinking again about weight savings, carbon bonnet and boot anyone?

In this climate ill keep some dollars in my pocket and the carbon fiber in my dreams

Jaycar has come through the goods on the connector, thanks to everyone who reached out.

continuing on with the interior improvements changed the light to a new one, Hella from an old porsche.

Nowadays an old Xd/e/f light would be worth more then what I paid for this. I do like simple solutions to things tho.

Can post the eBay link if people are interested.

It fit a little tight but fit in ok. The terminals needed to be ground down a mm or so with the dremal but nothing 2 mins and steady hand couldn’t fix. For 25 bucks I thought I’d take a punt. Someone was selling same item advertised from a escort and it sold for 80 bucks, (What got me hunting in the first place) couple mins googling and bam found it, and a lot cheaper.

Yes mine was in pretty rough shape and every time I removed it pieces of plastic would come away.
