There was 2 types of SVO the 190 kw & 215 kw also the fairmont version, i have a pamphlet here somewhere of all the mods, just have to find it.
My understanding is anything that had tickford stamped on it was thown in the bin & replaced with Ford Motorsport gear from the states.
Can find out more if you want?
Cheers Tony
