Above is an image showing the 3 different types of brake calipers fitted to the MK1.
From left to right. The P16 fitted to 6/66 on GT and Lotus. Next the P14 as fitted to GT and Lotus prior to 6/66. Then the caliper LU14 fitted to all standard vehicles after 10/64
 |
This brake drum was fitted on standard car from 10/64 till end of production. The reason for different drums was the difference in length of the half shaft or axle. |
 |
This brake drum is fitted to early model standard cars up to 10/64 |
 |
This brake drum was fitted to GT and Lotus and can be recognized by its heavy casting. These were used throughout production of the MK1 |
|
Pre air flow models does not include stoplight switch |
They are lighter in construction with out pedal stop |
|
Air flow models have a different pedal shape for clutch also the pedal box is a much beefier construction |
Pushrod also attaches on the opposite side, wavy washer - pushrod - plain washer and finally the 'R' clip |
These images will help you to correctly align master cylinder push rods onto the pedal box for your model. It is very easy to get the orientation wrong.
 |
There a 2 hubs and two different sizes of disc rotors. Early GT's and Lotus used 109E-1110 hubs (this is cast in between the two flanges) Notice the wider hub. |
|
|
These use a 3/8" thick disc with the P14 caliper. This was used on cars up to 10/65.
Standard/deluxe and Super airflows used the disc/hub configuration after 10/64 but with a LU14 caliper |
|
|
GT's and Lotus after 10/65 used the 3004E/3014E hub with the 1/2" thick disc and the larger P16 caliper, together with the infamous self adjusting rear brakes which were not terribly successful and caused problems during production. Now as can be seen in the pics the later hub is indeed wider (same w/bearings) and this allows the road wheel to clear the caliper as whilst in each case it is possible to fit late discs to early hubs (and vice versa) the wheel will foul the caliper and the thicker disc on the early set up will stop fitment of pads whereas you can successfully use the thinner discs with the P16 hub and caliper.

Known as 'bucket radiators' the larger radiator on the left of this picture is for a 1500 engine, while the smaller one on the right is for 1200 engine.

Ford factory instructions for correct fitment on the wing. Above is the original arm and head combination which is still available from Club Spares. Ford had a diff combination for each model and the head is the same as the 105E Anglia but that car had a diff arm. |

The upper fan blade is MK1 part # 109E-8606. the lower fan blade is from a 105E water pump which has been used on the MK1 and corsair

Here is an assortment of rotor arms that can be found. Some of these have failed in recent times. The rotor arms with the crosses on them were nearly new and have failed in the last 2 months and it appears similar to a number of condenser failures being experienced some years back. It only 'appears' to effect the rotors with a rivet in them. The red rotor is remanufactured item from Club spares which mimics the last genuine Lucas pattern and is supposed to be the 'bees knees'. Failures accured with 25D4 distributors in different cars.
