Much has been written on this. Lots of links posted. When I did the upgrade to my car, I found a small problem that I was able to "fix" due to my past experience with vacuum forming. The conversion I chose used Hella lamps combined with Sealight H4 LED's. CREDIT NOTE: Big Red Mach 1 (Chris)...

Interesting! There might be the possibility Ford changed suppliers or specification late in the year to accommodate upcoming vehicle changes. I've seen this sort of stuff happen back when I built prototypes.

Did you talk to Bill? I'm sure he could have solved your problem. Maybe it was a mistake and you got the wrong bulb(s)

For me, I'd weld it. Why, because that's the sort of work I did and have the equipment to do that. But, there have been some suggestions I did not know about. The one benefit of ABS is that it is a solvent based plastic and much easier to repair. Plastics like PP or PE are a different story. So...

Buy another Mustang, you know where one is.

No, it's a taper fit. If the pitman arm post is sloppy, it's time for a new pitman arm. That said, don't buy a cheap one.

Ron, you're right on with your comments. The ONLY way to set pre-load is on the bench. Before I got to the point of rebuilding my own box(es), I tried to adjust the sector shaft while in the car and the result was scary. The steering would stick a bit either left or right to the point the ditch...

Ron, from my own findings, adjusting the sector shaft pre-load only take out the ware in the teeth. However, as Ford used to supply replacement rack/piston screw balls in 6 different size sets, all to 5 decimals, replacing the balls is the only proper way to take out excessive ware. If the top...

Welcome from SW Ontario, Canada. You've had some great advice, use it to your advantage and good luck moving forward.

Welcome from SW Ontario, Canada.

They are a great company and friendly helpful people. They were good enough to supply me with parts, (bigger balls) to rebuild my own box(es). They didn't have to do that.

Welcome from SW Ontario, Canada. Sound like you know your stuff and what you want.

RedHead steering is another that others have recommended. Personally, I've rebuilt my own, but then I had the tools and equipment available to me. With that many miles on the original, your balls will be worn out.................. I mean the balls in your steering rack/piston.

Here are the Open Tracker specs that many members use.

Spike, you are correct. those are the original plates and dealer surround from Bishop Hansel Ford in Santa Rosa CA. The surrounds are on the car all the time, but I change my Ontario plate(s) just for shows. However I sometimes "forget" to change it back after.

Hello and welcome from an ex-pat Brit now living in SW Ontario, Canada. Pictures speak a thousand words............ and we love pics!

Thanks Chuck, Yes the VW wouldn't do too well in the rain, but at least it's well ventilated. I thought the craftsmanship was outstanding, but I think he could have done better for seats. John Deere doesn't exactly fit the theme.

Yesterday, July 28th, I took the old Gal to a good sized car show in Amherstburg, Ontario. I say good sized as there are usually around 700 cars and vehicles there. Well not to brag, (well maybe just a little) my car took the trophy for 1970-79. Here are a few interesting pics from around the...

Well, today I learned a valuable lesson, don't pet someone else's *****. Ok I'll explain. I'm looking after a neighbors cats while they're away. One of their little ***** bit me and drew blood. I guess not all *****'s are friendly.

An E reg (67) E type totally ruined. The guy who did this should be shot and pi**ed on!
