Default mk5 escort pedal

Hi all,

I'm currently after one of these, tried burtons but they out of stock, where else around essex could I go?

Cheers

Dave

Any Ford parts dealer? Don't know where in Essex you are but I've used the one in Thurrock before and they're quite good

i not sure to b honest, burtons have a cable which states abs, i brought that one as my car has it but upon fitting it, its been too tight, now im thinking maybe the non abs is different in length and has more cable to play with?? So i should have used that for this conversion?

I bought one from fords 5-6 months ago. My mechanic said me that rs turbo had two types of cables. One very long and an other very shorter. My new one is arround 50-60 cm. I can't remember which is for abs, (my abs went in the bin years ago). It was the last in Greece....
