    anyone know the part numbers for these IRS mounting brackets?

    thanks! I tried to describe them to the parts guy but he kept on quoting me for the entire subframe. :shrug:

    anyone know the part numbers for these IRS mounting brackets?

    called up my local ford dealer and the guy couldn't seem to figure out what i was talking about, so anyone here know the part numbers for the brackets circled in red below. BTW, this is to swap an irs into a fox body. Thanks!

    fox body w/ a IRS - good for open track events and autox???

    yeah, that was the first thing I read. Unfortunately they didn't say much about ride quality and I belive they swapped it out eventually.

    fox body w/ a IRS - good for open track events and autox???

    thinking about picking up a cheap 5.0 convertible that was listed on craigslist about 2 min from my house. I have a 99 cobra IRS and sn95 spindles/cobra brakes which have been sitting around in my garage waiting to be put on my 69 mustang project (coming along very very very slowly... haha)...

    Look at this ebay find....

    horrible fit and finish... look at the fender flares and gaps. They are horrible. The car gets a B+ for concept and a D for execution.

    Tweeters in 66 A pillars?

    I've seen it done by heating up the stock trim piece and then using a large socket to push the plastic out from behind to form a base for the tweeter. If done carefully it works very well.

    thoughts on fat man mcphereson strut suspension compared to MII?

    I still don't know what to do... I have a lead on a set of 13" cobra brakes and spindles and lines for $200. I also can get fully adjustable koni sport front struts at wholesale prices - dampening and rebound adjust. The ONLY thing holding me back right now from the fatman kit is the escort...

    thoughts on fat man mcphereson strut suspension compared to MII?

    What I don't understand is the problem with the fatman kit? sn95 spindles are inexpensive as well as the 13" brake kit. A set of good quality front struts is not exactly super expensive as well. The RRS kit looks great and is obviously much better engineered than the fat man kit, but once you...

    thoughts on fat man mcphereson strut suspension compared to MII?

    I need to do something to at least trim the shock towers so keeping stock suspension is pretty much out of the question (fitting a 4.6 dohc in there) but liked the idea of the fat man mcpherson setup being able to use cobra 13" brakes and sn95 suspension parts. I know people say that the...

    rolling fenders, how is it done

    also make sure you use a heat gun to warm the paint... it'll help prevent cracking. I've used the eastwood roller on several other cars and it works like a charm. I'd definitely recommend using it over a baseball bat (trust me, I've even rolled fenders in a pinch using an old tire and rubber...

    What brand Mustang II?

    one of my frame rails has been previously patched due to an accident and it was for this reason that I was considering the Martz chassis road race kit. Should I just get a frame rail replacement piece and go for the R&C kit since it is much cheaper?
