    Installed Shoulder Belt Conversion Today

    my biggest thing would be how much room I have, I'm 6' tall 270# After using them for a couple weeks now I think that you would not have a problem with fit, there is a lot of adjustment room. I have found the new 2 belt set up to be very comfortable. Jon

    Installed Shoulder Belt Conversion Today

    Doug, They fit good, seem to have enough slack to make adjustments as needed, (I am 6'2" and about 200#) The first one on the driver side took about 3 hours, but today I got the passenger one in in a bit less than two hours, it should only take about 1.5 hr per side but I had a heck of a time...

    Installed Shoulder Belt Conversion Today

    I bought a seat & Shoulder belt kit for my 73 vert from Andover Restraints and finally got around to installing it. The kit came with no instructions so I just did it my way and I think it came out ok. I had to refine a couple of the back up plates they sent as shown. I removed the rubber...

    Idiot lites and gauges

    I finally got into installing my eBay purchased dash panel with gauges. I want to connect them up so that I also retain the original factory idiot lites so I am trying to research my wiring ideas hoping to not fry something. I installed a Rocketman retro Tach and ran new wires to the igniton...

    Emergency Flashers with LED Sequentials

    I finally got around to checking this problem out more throughly and found that it was a bad emergency flasher (standard type) and replaced it. Thanks to all who replied.

    Emergency Flashers with LED Sequentials

    They don't come on at all. I may be overthinking this, could be as simple as a bad or missing flasher. Will try to dig into that tomorrow night. Thanks!

    Emergency Flashers with LED Sequentials

    My 73 came with the tail lights already converted to LEDs with a kit from Mustang Depot by the previous owner. I have no literature on them. The lights work fine but I cannot get them to work in the emergency flash mode. Anyone know if they use the factory flasher etc to work the led set up...

    Does ETHANOL added GAS destroy carbs?

    Would not use any gas with ethanol. I ran non-oxygenated no ethanol gas in my 66 stang for over 10 years with no carb problems. My son ran "regular" 92 octane in his 66 and had numberous problems with everything from the carb to fuel pumps. I left non-ox no ethanol gas in my outboard boat...

    Bench testing a cluster

    I found that the led bulbs would not always make a good connection to the sockets and had to bend the little lead wires around a bit to make them work. I used a 12 volt start pack to bench test mine, I attached alligator clip jumper wires to the battery clamps being careful not to let them...

    mweeps, what is with the gun icon? I am a fan of Walther PPK's myself. Hyena, I bought the car out of Texas painted this beautiful blue, when I asked the previous owner about getting some touch up paint he couldn't or wouldn't give me the exacts.

    Just found this forum

    I was browsing for an article on how to install a shoulder harness type seat belt into my 73 when I came across your forum. Just bought my ride last spring and enjoyed cruising top down all last summer. Can't wait for Winter to go away. I had a 1966 Mustang "driver" convert for 14 years that...
