    Aje K-member

    I agree with the fitting issues, mine did not fit correctly at the rear mounting area, also I opted for the road racing braces to add additional strength to the k-member for pot-holes etc....the threads in the road racing braces had different threads than the OEM lower control arm bolts. they...

    Aje K-member

    Iwhich lower control arms did you use, as stated i'm using the SN95. did you swap the sn95 roll bar perches onto the fox anti-roll bar. reason i'm asking is the front anti roll bars are different widths.

    Aje K-member

    finally the weather, time and cash flow stars have aligned, I managed to get the AJE K Member installed, and I have installed the SN95 lower control arms with 5 lug brakes & shocks in my 80 model. The springs were a bit of a bugger to get in, however the overall job went well. it's obvious the...

    Amp Readings

    this is normal to a degree, due to a lower engine rpm, however you'll need to verify the voltage with a voltmeter, or have a load test performed on the alternator. this would be a great opportunity/excuse to change over to the 3G alternator, it a much better alternator and puts out 130 amps...

    Aje Crossmember Problem

    do you mean take the column apart and push the outer tube down. I don't mind, I just want to do it right. I see there is a "compression" point built into the outer tube, I was hoping to put a punch thru the bottom of the shaft and hit it with a hammer from inside the engine bay to pull the...

    Aje Crossmember Problem

    thanks, for the info, I'm well pleased with my choice, however I'm not plugging any sales for AJE, some guys like Maximum Motorsports etc. this is my first aftermarket k-member installation, so when it's done, I can pass on the experience like you guys did. there's certainly a hell of a weight...

    Aje Crossmember Problem

    coolamundo, I'll see if I can tap that steering column tube down a bit. I actually bought the AJE road race brace kit because I thought the k/member looked like it couldn't take a lot of heavy abuse, it's a beautiful k-member, plenty of room to add a 4.6. there are a lot of choices for...

The bushings on the 97 are in better condition than my 80 models bushings. but most importantly I'm thinking that the track...

    temp guage

    i just put a new temp guage in the dash of a 65 mustang and it worked ok for about 15 minutes, then smoke came out of it. i'm pretty sure the two pins in the back where the wires go were not touching any metal, could this be a bad guage or did i mess up the instalation?? i have also replaced...

    thanx for the info, i've got a couple of fox and sn-95 to choose frome, so i think the sn-95 is the way to go. the car has discs on the front now, so i reckon that 4 wheel disc and posi is the way to go. when you used the sn-95 did you have any issues with the parking brakes? that F150 axle...
