Springalex steering wheel.
This is an early wheel with vinyl grip and alloy
spokes, the unmistakable Springalex shape is there though!
Fitted on Mk2 Cortinas and Early Escort Twin Cams

|
Springalex steering wheel.
This is a wheel with leather grip and black alloy
spokes, this wheel has just been recovered as the leather was totally shot
after years of hard work!
Fitted on Twin Cams, Mexicos and RS1600s
- this was
the wheel offered by Ford AVO as part of the 'Rally' pack
|
|
|
Springalex steering wheel.
This is later wheel with leather grip and black
alloy spokes, this wheel is slightly deeper than above.
|
|
|
Springalex steering wheel.
As above but with thicker grip and even deeper
dish.

inch dished Springalex copy
Note that the spokes are cut from
a single piece of steel.

Springalex centres
I've now found six different
types of the early ones and there are several of the later one piece type,
all with different centre discs.
I've had them re-produced and I'm
very happy with the results!

Cibie Oscar lamps with the metal covers on - used
by the Works Escorts on their lower lamps - hard to find in good condition
|
|
|
Cibie Oscar lamps with the metal grills fitted -
used by the Works Escorts on their lower lamps - even harder to find in
good condition than the ones above!
|
|
|
Cibie Biode 7" headlamps lamps -
used by the Works Escorts once the rectangular lamp was found to be pretty
hopeless!
This lamp has a secondary reflector unit - hence
the name'bi'ode.
Getting hard to find - no self respecting works
replica is complete without a set!
|
|
|
Lamp Brackets
Various steel lamp brackets available from Ford RS dealers in the 70s.
These were all used by the Works Escorts prior to the alloy version being
used.

Magard Alloy sumpguard.
The cheaper copy of the 'Tech-Del' magnesium
version used on the works cars. At least these would still stand a good
landing, I'm afraid the magnesium will be well past it's best 30 years on!
|
|
|
Contour 'Clubman' bucket seat. This sorry looking
version has been sat in my store room for years - I didn't know I had it! They
were either trimmed in Betacloth or the Airotech (waffle) vinyl and if you
are very lucky, come with a strange looking headrest.

|
|
Not quite exact, but a reasonable reproduction of
the 'works' instrument cluster.
|
|
|
Another reproduction of
the 'works' instrument cluster but showing gauges more representative of
the ones used on the original works Mk1 Escorts.
Smiths 80mm Chronometric gauges were used for speedo and tacho and a dual
oil pressure/water temp gauge.
Original aviation 'pea' lights are fitted to illuminate the gauges.
|
|
|
Dash under construction - Finally, we have found some warning lamps which
are close to the original ones!

version used in the works cars complete with all proper switches gauges
and fuse boxes.

Lucas indicator/sidelamp units as used on many 'works' cars. The top ones are the genuine Lucas versions which have metal
bodies (both black and chrome) and the bottom image shows the 'Vega' lamp
lenses which had black plastic bodies.
|
|
|
Lucas
576 rear mounted reverse lamp.
Used on the works cars and favorite with Mini
Cooper owners as they were on works Minis too!

cars in differing positions Check out the
'works' cars link for more info.

Trico illuminated switch. Used
as a reverse switch and warning lamp - originally fitted to 60s Jaguars!
|
|
|
Speedwell accelerator pedal
- this is an early plastic version which is brand new and still with the
packaging. I bet you
could have bought one of these from the local 'Rally and Speed shop' in the
60s for less than a pound! Used on many works
cars so the drivers could 'toe and heel' easier.
|
|
|
Paddy Hopkirk accelerator pedal.
Same
idea as Speedwell item but made by Paddy Hopkirk Accessories.
The
famous Mini driver had a full range of go faster goodies and were fitted
to anything in the 70s! (Now
available in the parts for sale section -

|
|
|
Butlers map light. Every
rally car in the 60s and 70s had one of these!
|
|
|
Halda Tripmaster. This
is the alloy cased version of the famous tripmeter as found on many works
cars!
|
|
|
Halda Tripmaster. This
is the plastic cased version - slightly later model, with all the problems
ironed out and the case never looks scratched - but not as sought after as
the alloy version!
|
|
|
Halda Twinmaster. This
is the alloy cased version, there are two types, smooth black and wrinkle
finish, it is getting very hard to find good ones nowadays - we all threw
them away and fitted electronic ones!
|
|
|
Halda Tripmaster. This
is the plastic cased version of the above, again a slightly later model, but
not quite as 'original equipment' as the metal bodied ones.
