    Convertible Top Pump Motor help

    well crap. As far as motors go, is there an 'upgrade'? It looks like later Mustangs use the same pump with a different connector. Can I use one of those if I swap the connector? Thanks!

    Convertible Top Pump Motor help

    I wonder what is really going on? I read another post somewhere that said the system gets 'vapor locked' but that doesn't make any sense. And I figured I could service the motor separate from the pump but fluid ended up leaking out...

    Convertible Top Pump Motor help

    Greetings, I have been working on the interior of my ’91 convertible lately and had to put the top down and up a couple times (in freezing weather) without any issues. A few days ago when I tried to put the top down and it wouldn’t go. The relay’s click in both directions but the pump won’t...

    I have a lot of practice with the mig but I'm no expert. I never tried tig.

    Good points. With my mechanical engineering degree and all the practice I've had with my MIG, I think I can come up with a good redesign. Since the rear arm is mostly in compression, I'm a little less concerned than I would be modifying the front arm of the triange. That said, can I use mild...

    Good street tires for 400+ hp

    My stupid 'bargain' purchase has turned into a real pain in the butt... they look nice though. :rolleyes: Since the wheels touch the rearward facing flange on the lower front control arm I have been tossing around in my head taking the control arms out, boxing them in with some 1/8" plate and...

    Good question. I'll have to investigate. I would consider spacers a temporary countermeasure.

    Good street tires for 400+ hp

    Now I need to find out what size spacers I need to keep my 17 x 9's from touching the back edge of the front lower control arm when I turn the wheel all the way. With 245's on the 17 x9's, the wheel rim will touch the arm. I'd like to space it outward enough so that the rubber touches - if...

    Yea, i pulled the trigger on my tire purchase a little faster than I wanted. I saw that discounttiredirect was giving a $50 rebate on 4 Nitto's - only through 2/28 so I bought on 2/28.

    245/45R17's front 275/40R17's rear All on 17" x 9" Cobra R's w/ +18 mm offset It all goes back to wanting more meat to handle the hp level I have. With a stock bottom end, I think having good but not great traction may be a good way (the only way) to keep from blowing it up. In hindsight, I...

    I think 245's will be fine. I'm getting 2 mounted tomorrow and if they look and fit well, I'll be returning the 275's next week. Thanks!!!!

    Good street tires for 400+ hp

    Turns out I don't have a clearance issue on the inside - I've got 1/2"+ to the quad shock and exhaust but the 275's will hit the fender flange. If I had a little more offset than +18 mm, it would help. That said, can I have the hubs on the wheels machined down 1/4" or so to make them fit...

    Good street tires for 400+ hp

    I mocked up the 275's on the rear and have plenty of room to the pipes and quad shocks - abut 1/2" to each. My issue is going to be to the flange on the fender. As it sits on the ground, I'll have abut 1-1/2" from the tire up to the flange. If I can roll the flange up, I can get close to 2"...

    So now I'm just trying to decide if I want to deal with all the pain involved with making the 275's fit (fender rolling, exhaust pipe mod) or if I should just get the 245's instead...

    I measured the width of my Nitto 555R's and they are right on the money. Not too wide not too narrow. They are not mounted yet though.

    I looked at the Flowmaster site and the 3" pipes that go under the tank are not available for my GT. I'm thinking I may have to buy some tube and fabricate my own or take it to a muffler shop and have them do it.
