What motor mounts are you currently using? Many of the poly style do increase the height of the engine so you could look at the convertible to lower it back down.
Good, easy, and cheap solution to the cap problem!! Nice work!Same issue with the oil fill cap and STB,chucked the fill cap in a lathe and faced 1/4" off,problem solved.
I still think your missing the top plate(plate that sits inside the U shaped portion) that holds the sway bar bushings in place,but you'd need to verify.The complete brackets should look like this.
Yeah, let’s see it. Strut brace probably hides most of the cap anyway.I found out that the factory fill cap is hollow,so the end result when removing 1/4" may not be what you would expect.lol
If your not concerned about some bullsh*t stock looking cap the end result is just fine.May have to post a pic.
The sway bar is about the only part that I haven't changed down there at this point, so you're probably right. Would that cause a lot of play in the steering? There's quite a bit but I can't figure out where it's coming from. I don't have a rag joint to worry about anymore and I don't think it's my ball joints or tie rod ends since they were just replaced. I'll grab a pic tomorrow morning, I'm planning on changing the oil and cleaning up a few other things while I'm on vacation from work.I still think your missing the top plate(plate that sits inside the U shaped portion) that holds the sway bar bushings in place,but you'd need to verify.The complete brackets should look like this.
I would grab a helper and have them turn the wheel while you’re under the car looking at the movement.I took it to my local resto shop. The old man there wrestled the cap off and pulled a smaller stock one off a junker in the back. I felt like an idiot, but it was the cheapest and quickest option and now I can change my oil, so I'm happy. Apparently the cap that was on it was some kind of weird chunky aftermarket thing.

If you know a welder or muffler shop they may be able to tack the nuts behind the strut towers and the cowl area.
If you know a good one, that would be great.Looking for a frame/body shop in that area?
I’m in a cars and coffee fb group that I haven’t been involved in. I guess it’s time to get involved.Not around there, find a local car club, they should know people
Man……. Other than scrolling through instagram for golf tips, and seeing some cool Mustangs, (and maybe a few other things) this is my only social media I really participate in. I hear so much about the Mustang bookface groups…… but havnt jumped in the water yet!! Tempting…… but just never wanted the other BS that FB brings with it.I’m in a cars and coffee fb group that I haven’t been involved in. I guess it’s time to get involved.
And another thing…… those wheels look awesome with that color combo on the car!! Love it.I’m in a cars and coffee fb group that I haven’t been involved in. I guess it’s time to get involved.
I pretty much only use Facebook for events and the marketplace these days. All the cool kids in my generation moved on to instagram and TikTok. The way I see it, instagram is full of coked out chicks and roided out dudes. It’s a cesspool of vanity and false altruism. TikTok is a Chinese intelligence tool/psyop, and it needs to be banned yesterday.Man…….
