Default Engine bay decals (3 questions)

Thanks to Matt Baxter for posting these pictures in his resto thread. I broke out the mig welder and the hammerite today and started killing rot on the bumper corners and the front headlamp buckets. Engine bay is next for paint and I realised that I want this car to look new, period correct and with the right engine bay stuff.

First up a silly one. I'm marking all the wiring as it comes out to make sure I get it back together quick and easy. But what to label this? My car came pretty much disassembled and I found this connector that made no sense - why? It has no male mate. Just the female end from the bulkhead. Although my car is LHD, Im sure this connector is used on my car. I was connected to nothing.



So where can I get these decals (specifically what ebay seller or whomever)



And where the hell do they go on a continental LHD saff?

That makes sense. The goons cut all the sensors right to the nub. Remove instead of diagnose is the work of children.

Confirm that - abs sensor.

Here a shot of my 2wd saff on the rollers today - and another showing the stickers on the intercooler. All these are the original stickers and have never been replaced.

Yep, sourcing ABS sensors now. This has been fun actually and will continue to be fun. I'm learning the car by taking it apart. Never did that with my 3 door. Fixed as needed.

I forgot to say, yeh thats the wiring to abs sensor. Not the end of the sensor but the plug that it fits to. You should have one on the other chassis rail also. They should be cliped into small plastic brackets if I remember right.

Luckily the clips are still there. I don't recall the other side being there though, I'll be eyeing that up today in the garage.

And to think I just sent a winter beater Scorpio to the crusher with these intact. Damnit.

Thanks everyone.

Is that the correct 2wd Sapphire header tank ? And did the 2wd Sapphire models have the intercooler deflector ?
Cheers
