    65-66 CUSTOM MADE FRONT COILOVER SETUP IN PROGRESS

    Thanks for the info. I had looked into CPA products before. They use progressive rate springs and the have a longer shock by using the 71-73 mustang style shock mount at the top. The only problem I foresee is that the 71-73 style mounting is a little weak to support all that weight and...

    65-66 CUSTOM MADE FRONT COILOVER SETUP IN PROGRESS

    That mod along with the adjustable struts allowed me to change the wheelbase to 107". This was needed because the front flares once installed were hitting the tire. The body kit I got from mustang depot was installed correctly but the thickness of the fiberglass along with 235-45 x17x8 tires...

    65-66 CUSTOM MADE FRONT COILOVER SETUP IN PROGRESS

    After evaluating a few of the Coilovers setups available in the market for my 65 Vert I decided to choose Ron Morris new "ETI setup". The reasons were that all I needed was Height control and the adjustability of the shock. There is no need of changing the control arms cuz it works with the OEM...

    NEED SOME EXPLANATION ON WHEEL OFFSET AND BACKSPACING

    I was browsing some wheels today at *bay and checked a few bullit style wheels for the classics with the following specs, 17"x8", 0 offset,4.50 bs. As far a i can remember the formula for calculating offset is, offset=W- bs/2. So if the width is 8" and the backspacing is 4.50" the offset is...

    Actualy runs perfect with no arcs. These are for show only. If you run them for extensive periods of time the chrome will turn dull. The cost was $100 for 2 pcs

    oOH MY GOD I'AM FINNISHED AFTER 5 YEARS 2 MONTHS

    Yeah! I guess I’m a chrome freak. I even had 2 blue distributor caps chromed just for show. I had the covers and air cleaner polished but the maintenance of aluminum in engine components is so tedious that I had them chromed and then zoop treatment applied (To all engine parts, brackets, wheels...

    Yes it can be seen. The inclination of the lid plus the upward angle of the capri Mclaren 3rd brake light allows perfect view.

    oOH MY GOD I'AM FINNISHED AFTER 5 YEARS 2 MONTHS

    Yes they are. This is a metal hood with the fiberglass scoop fitted. The structure of the scoop was so weak that we used canned foam urethane to fill the inside in order to level the top of the scoop and eliminate the sags it had (See pic below). A new all metal hood with the same scoop is on...

    HOW TO MAKE POWER BRAKES SENSITIVE

    One of the 1st things i did was to use the MBM 1" Chrome Aluminum disc/disc master cyl and while braking effort decrease the pedal travel was quite a bit long stoping the car with the pedal almost to the floor. I was recomended to change the pedal ratio by lowering it 1". That will bring it down...

    HOW TO MAKE POWER BRAKES SENSITIVE

    In my quest for sensitivity i removed the combinaton valve, installed a 2 way brass "T" to the front brakes and a willwood adjustable prop Valve to the rear and it was worst, cuz reducing the rear brakes pressure made the pedal harder.

    HOW TO MAKE POWER BRAKES SENSITIVE

    Thanks for your input Steve. I have always seen the Small 7" Factory Bendix booster as a very small unit for it's operation but MBM claims that with a 1" Master Cylinder their unit will provide 950 psi with 18" of vacuum. Do you think a larger size booster setup like this one...
