Have not noticed this on my CAV, i have car #25 so very early. Will have a better look now I"ve read this of course :D

Yes, mustang 2002-ish, that's correct.

Hi Marcus, is this the car from the Durban area? In which case I think I know the 'one owner from new' and can vouch for the TLC this car has gotten over the years.

That's not a bad idea either.. and just lock them in place with a small screw or something?

sorry, no.. i'll look for a picture. its the plastic bushing inside the steering rack, which guides the rack-bar left and right. Number '5' on below drawing. This is not necessarily the CAV rack by the way. just a good drawing I found. The pictures attached show a disintegrated bushing similar...

Hi all, The bushing that holds the steering rack pinion 'shaft' at the outer end, has perished. That means there's quite a bit of slop, both unsafe and not helping the steering feeling. I've been told by CAV that this was a cortina 1977 'thin tube' steering rack, and i'm hoping to source the...

I think i'll be in approximately 3000-3500 in the end. The intake casting is about 800, the webers approximately 1000 from china. The injector bosses approxmately 300. The throttle kit approx 400. The shaft seals were 50-ish if I remember correctly. Then there's the plethora of small items (AN...

Like your setup, any kind of idea what kind of price these things sell for?

I know of at least 1 KCC in South Africa that was upgraded to full trailing arm suspension (rear) but that requires a lot of fabrication skill and effort. Not impossible, but lots of work. Basically building half a scratch chassis.

That turned out really nice.. I love Delrin as well, just dont have the right tools in the shed to machine it as a Pro.. but even DIY tools work great.

Welcome Rick, I also purchased a pre-100 CAV (#22) quite recently. Busy revamping a lot of things, and finding quite a few items that could be dangerous if not addressed. (Fuel bladders, broken rose joints, wheel bearing play etc.) Reach out to me if you want through PM, and we can discuss...

Very well done Kurt, hats of to that level of detailed engineering.. I'm thinking of changing my CAV pedal assy too, and Tilton is one of the options on the table. The throttle cable is one of the problem areas for me, at least on paper.. this is a great idea!

You can probably buy a bar of delrin (or equivalent) and make a set yourself if you can't source it from Andy/Ian. Delrin is beautiful stuff to machine,drill etc.

great looking car.. love that color. Just some tips of info to add to aid with a sale: Location, pricing, make/model. (looks like a CAV, correct?)

I've watched a few of your videos, before I realised you're on here as well :-) Recognized the big white stripe on the side first. Good going, fun to document for others to watch.
