    anyone deal with this company?

    I just finished piecing together a SN95 cobra brake kit (13" fronts w/ dual piston calipers and 11.65" rears) off of ebay over the last month and spent about $1000 including new 5 lug axles, wheels and tires. That's with shipping. It is basically the same kit your talking about. Just used...

    86 GT Brake Upgrade (What E-brake cables?)

    That sounds great. As soon as the parts all come in I'll take a look at things and decide if I want to use adapters or not, but I'll probably PM you at some point in the next few weeks. I read some of the other posts about using the SN95 brake booster, some work and some don't. Since I'm on a...

    Thanks for that link. I had looked around at a few vendor sites but I had not seen one that actually listed the lengths.

    What length sway bar endlinks do I need?

    I have been working on the suspension in my 86' GT lately. While replacing the springs and struts I discovered that the sway bar end link on the passenger side is messed up. It turns but doesn't tighten beyond a point. I guess it is semi striped. Regardless I need new end links. I figured I...

    splash gaurds

    Here are a few pictures. The rear are the Ford splash guards the front are cheap autozone guards that I cut to fit. Sorry it took so long. I forgot to do this when I got home from work.

    splash gaurds

    I ordered a set in April or so. They were flat black with no color options, but things change. One thing you might not be aware of is that they don't (at least when I bought mine) have guards for the front. Ford says the car sits to low in the front. Yeah, right! I modified a cheap set from...

    Pressure Plate Touching Bellhousing

    Well I tried adjusting the clutch cable and that didn't help. So I ordered a new Ram HD Clutch. I guess that's what credit cards are for. Hopefully it turns out okay. Any one intrested in a King Cobra Clutch with about two miles on it? The pressure plate is obviously scratched up some. Make me...

    Pressure Plate Touching Bellhousing

    At least I'm not the only one, but damn. I can't afford to buy another clucth now. And I don't think I'll be able to sell this one since the pressure plate has scratches where it's touching the bellhousing. I looked at PeteyAce's post. It's the exact same problem I have. The picture of his...

    Pressure Plate Touching Bellhousing

    I think the pivot ball is okay. I could barely push the clutch fork/release bearing over the pivot ball when instaling it. I don't remember exactly where but I clearanced the belhousing on the lower half. I think below the pivot ball. The scrape mark was across about a quarter of the housing...

    Pressure Plate Touching Bellhousing

    I finished my AOD to T5 swap at about 9 pm Monday night. Hurray! Then I started my car and heard this clanking noise. Something in the rotating mass was definately touching something it should not. Damn! I figured maybe the starter teeth were touching the flywheel and needed a shim. I had to...
