    Suspension Upgrade Questions

    Dont overlook the RRS front strut conversion, excellent quality choice of disc brake size and an reduced bump steer. I have been driving on them for several months and they give a great ride.

    Rack & Pinion Steering for a 64 1/2 Notch?

    I have been driving with the RRS power steering rack and their front strut/disc brake system for 2 months now. Installed the units myself, they are a true bolt in (with a couple of extra holes and some minor modification to the lower end of the steering column.) I'm very pleased with the...

    Finished prototype Mustang disc brake spindles

    They look 100% better than welded steel spindles from I bought from Fatman at great expense. I couldn't get any response from Fatman about engineering principles used in his design or testing to determine they were strong enough to take the stresses involved. No way I am running Fatman...

    The SN65 project car

    Hi Bob, Few posts back someone referred to the Falcon dash in my 66. Here's a pic. It was cut in 3 places and plastic welded then covered in vinyl using a vacuum process. It is how they cover dashes when first manufactured. In Australia we have 'dashboard restoration' companies which have...

    New Mustang spindles available soon

    What a fantastic venture - I suggest you research the 65/66 market before you decide as everyone seems to desire a lower front (with good reason the stock height looks silly) however short springs are a very poor way to do the job. Nothing beats a dropped spindle for lowering a car and...

    5 Speed Tight

    Yeah - Major oil companies sell 80W - 90 for gearbox oil here, its a bit like mayple syrup! I put Redline trans fluid in (nearly $100 for 3 litres) boy, I'm keeping the US economy going all by myself. Redline Seems to have fixed the problem but only after about 50 miles driving, dont know...

    5 Speed Tight

    I have just started driving with a T50D 5spd mannual, cable clutch. The gears change fine except when I'm stationary and try to put it in first. It just dosent want to slide in and I have to wriggle and push harder than I beleive it should need. Changed to Redline oil with marginal effect...

    changing gears - 3.27 or 3.55?

    Great to watch this debate........to get so many varied experiences from stang owners is a terrific thing for us who are far away from the big city action but are also considering a ratio swap. we can now make a decision based on experience. Thanx to all contributors.

    This shows the exhaust, one piece stainless from the headers to the muflers alongside the fuel tank. Since the pic I have installed bump stops on the bracket above the exhaust.

    The Reenmachine DOHC '67 Shelby Clone Convertible Progress

    You do see inboard disc brakes on Jaguars from about 60s on. Popular with hot rodders and Cobra replica builders. Unsprung weight is the advantage as well as eliminating leaf springs means lots of room for w i d e rear tyres. Rotor replacement is not difficult and one hardly needs to for...

    New efi engine Fit Question

    I believe the explorer had the same 5 litre distributorless Windsor that Ford installed in all V8 Falcons in Australia from 96 to 2003. The pic is of a 220KW motor in my 66 convertable. I used all the wiring, fuel pump,eec and body computer from the donor car, runs great. (the intake is...

    The SN65 project car

    sn65 you must not let your car be decorated by a committee.......there is not a car in the world that everyone likes so the lesson is DO YOUR OWN THING! Having conceived and constructed this remarkable project, you have to follow thru and decide how it is to be finished PERSONALLY. This...
