Ford Capri 1972 V6 Clutch Lever Release Boot
Hi,
I am new to this forum and I am seeking help from its members if possible. I need a good 2nd hand or new reproduction Clutch Lever Release Boot for my 1972 V6 Capri. Any leads would be greatly appreciated as I have tried The UK and Europe without any luck.
Thanks

Surely there are repo's out there? If its the same as the Escort ones, they are available.
Burtons stock them I think? Or try Mike at Yesterford?

John Roberts in Vic might have some, or know where to get them.

They’re different to anything else currently available. They were being reproduced (I supplied a good sample) but they haven’t been made for some time now. I’m not aware of anyone reproducing them currently, or holding any stock.

I should also add that if anyone knows of a business who could reproduce these (not 3D printed versions, actual injected moulding) I have a NOS one and could work with that business to do a run of reproductions.

Found this thread with a few people we know. PeterM is no longer doing mouldings https://www.classic-ford....m.aspx?m=79926&p=2

Thanks Guys for all your useful information and efforts, it seems that I am just going to have to wait until someone in Australia ,Britain or Europe decides to manufacture a reproduction. If you hear of anyone who intends to do this please let me know.
regards

Yep, I supplied Peter with the sample. It’s a shame he’s no longer doing any of his stuff as it was excellent.

I bought one of his last ones and am going to have a go at making a mould from it because I need another one for my other Capri. If I manage to get a good result I will post here and see what the interest is.

Put me down for one GTV6, what about the metal clip that secures it to the bell housing ? Does anyone have on of those ?

Ok, now the pressure's on to not stuff it up.  I have a spring clip, pretty simple shape just got to figure out where to buy the right material.
