If you have sideways play on your clutch and/or brake pedal on your Capri Mk1 then you'll need to replace the pedal bushes which push fit into either side of your pedals and which the shaft supporting and acting as pivot for the pedals pass through. These bushes made of a special plastic bearing material have long ago become unavailable but we have found an alternative.
For just £2 each plus £1 post and packing you can replace your 30 plus year old pedal bushes. A full set consists of 4 bushes - that's just £9 to solve that sideways movement on your clutch and brake pedals. Click the image below to see where they fit.

Pre-facelift "L" spec. rear bench seat in tan. Some fire damage to rear seat back but this does not show when seat is in position. £15 seat. Must be collected (Mid Bedfordshire)

These cars are highly collectable and prized (particularly the manual versions) as they were the only V8 Capri's built/assembled anywhere in the world with a FORD-sanctioned warranty and guarantee, and sold as new off a FORD showroom floor. Good reference site http://perana.org/capriv8.asp
Genuine original and unfettered Basil Green Motors PERANA conversion of the 3000 V6 Capri ex-Ford plant in South Africa.
Performance according to CAR magazine (SA) in January 1971; Top Speed - 228,4 KHP or 142,2 MPH, Acceleration - 0-60 MPH in 6,1 seconds, 1/4 Mile in 14,6 seconds.
This car has been validated as being the real thing and not a clone - has the "BG Serial Number & Manufacture Date" tag in position under-bonnet, which corresponds with both the under-floor (drivers seat) "BG Assembly" tag and the "FoMoCo of SA" under-bonet tag.
Built in September 1971 by BG and the first and only owner took delivery from the Ford dealership in January 1972 (first registration) in Johannesburg, Guateng (Transvaal).
She is still in extremely good condition and has only covered sub-73000 kilometres from new - notable even though the Speedo/ Odometer only records 5-digits the overall appearance and stance of the car falls in line with recorded usage.
Finished in Peri-Peri Red body-colour with Black Perana stripes, Black Perana rear-window Louvre (slats), Perana Steering-wheel, Perana-type Racing Door-mirror (drivers side only) and chromed Ford Rostyle wheels of the era. The interior is superbly kept (photo's reflect non-valet car) and is totally correct including the Black head-lining replacement of BG-Motors.
Mechanically the car has been extremely well-maintained by the farmer/rancher-owner and drives as if a new car. The lack of under-bonnet paintwork crackling bears out that this car has not been subjected to long-journeys at high speed / engine heat build-up so common to un-kept cars of this type.
The only mishaps throughout her life were a broken front registration plate (from hitting a pheasant) and a paintwork scratch on the drivers door (his dog jumped up against the door) which has been repaired and is not noticeable.
The digital camera pics reflect wrong date because the date was not corrected after a battery-change, these shots were taken in August 2008.
All documentation such as Interpol/SAPS Clearance Certificate, SA Export License supplied with sale of vehicle.
Can suggest a Clearing and Shipping Agent for Container-delivery ex-Cape Town or Durban to required destination port at buyers seperate cost/charge.
Priced to sell at £17,800
