I found it easier to adjust the door with the door Stricker pin removed from the B post. After loosening off the door bolts ( using 3 very long 1/2 inch extension bars and gaining access from under the rear of the front wheel fender ) I used a long wooden wedge under the far end base of the...

Is it a good brand of Oil filter, or could it be a Chinese copy. The Chinese rubber cannot cope with Ethanol petrol and some oils. I have had a Petrol tank sender unit rubber gasket fail on me last winter and I lost about 4 gallons of petrol over a period of 3 months on my carpeted garage floor...

I also will be leaving the UK in a couple of years. Its too expensive here, my pension wont go very far, and I want to put my Supercharged Mustang on the road, and fuel is stupidly priced over here. Luckily there is very little play in the steering box, but I know exactly what you mean with...

Stanglover. Thanks for the great info on the PS box. I will probably have to order a replacement from the States, unless I take it to a Hydraulic repair agent here in the UK. I will remove it from the car and get all the details from it and go from there. Thanks for all the info. Much appreciated.

Thanks for your response guys. Stanglover. During my Mustang's renovation ( its taken 17 years ) but last year I removed the steering box from the engine bay whilst the engine was removed and I put two new seals ( 1 x oil seal and 1 x dust cover ) in the top of the unit by the input shaft /rag...

Sorry This paragraph should have read. I have already replaced the 2 oil seals at the top of this STEERING BOX because there was oil leaking from it during the time the car was being renovated, again there was no engine in it at that time, and this STEERING BOX started to leak then.

Hi all. I am after some expert advise on this problem please. My Mustang would not start due to an inferior Holley Carb service kit being fitted that was not the genuine article, and the internal seals have given up, and fuel just leaks into the engine and floods it. I have removed the carbs...

Hello all you Mustang lovers. Please could someone help me identify this piece of tubing that came from the engine bay , I think. Many thanks.

These came with the car when I bought her. The grill lights came with an Orange bulb, so these were used as indicators. Not sure whether this was an export version done by Ford, when the car was exported over to the UK in 1976 to an American Air base. My DTR lights were additional bulbs that...

On my Mach1 I use the grill lights ( which have a clear lens on them ) as indicators (orange ) and DRL as white. I found on Ebay a dual function LED lamp that changes from white ( DRL ) to indicators ( Orange ). They were easy to fit and look the biz.

I did what Spike suggested, I used a blow Torch, the type plumbers use for soldering copper pipe. Then I used two club hammers and gave that pitman arm a good belt simultaneously and that did the job with a little help from two wedge shaped chisels taped in either side under the PS box.

Rio1856 is correct. The bracket is there to support the top lip of the rear quarter panel which clips over the top of it. The window felts are attached to your quarter panel and press against the window glass

My connector block was also hanging off, so I connected it up and the buzzer sounds when the key is in the ignition and the door is open. Whenever I am working on the car and require the ignition on with the door open, the buzzer is now becoming annoying, so I am in two minds whether to pull...

I bought 10ltrs of 2K Grabber Orange from my paint suppliers and 5ltrs of hardener. Mine took 7.5 ltrs of solid colour Grabber Orange and the ratio of hardener was 2 paint 1 hardener. The Orange was a bit translucent, so it took 5 coats to cover the car. The paint was £50.00 a litre, but another...

What a good idea, never thought of doing that
