Nice work Mike. I will give that a go..

Hey guys, Just thought I would share an issue I had on my 72 Mach 1. My car same factory with idiot lights in the dash. I have then added a mechanical temperature gauge, a mechanical oil pressure gauge and a volt meter. (Volt meter connected to the radio 12v feed) Some months ago I rebuilt the...

Steve, thanks for the info.. I had only added a seal on 1 side.. I will go to the local hardware store and see what I can find.

Steve, Thanks for the info.. Yep all is understood. I will use the repro Scott Drake ones and paint them. First 2 coats done. Now waiting to dry. I know what you mean about the tail lights. I have already cleaned up the original honeycomb plastic and painted that. I may now pull the tail lights...

Thanks for the tips Gents. I have removed the trims and will mask up and paint..

Hey guys, I have a 72 Mach 1. Per the picture (gold glow Mach 1) the black paint has rubbed off on some parts of the chrome mould that is at the top and bottom of the rear honeycomb that is between the tail lights. See the marked section. Is there a right way or a wrong way to strip and...

Checked mine all all is understood. Am interested in the BO also. Mine is a mid 72 mach 1 in gold glow. I assume the BO is for black out option and is the black lower sections like the rocker and lower quarter panels etc.?

Im also keen to get the ducting. I note that the pics above are missing the plastic part that goes on the end of the air cleaner snorkel. I just disassembled mine and sandblasted the air cleaner and repainted it. See the black plastic part on the end per the diagram above. There are 4 staples...

David, Thanks for the info and thanks for checking. I have completed a dummy install and marked the place on the pedal where it intersects the push rod. So all good. As for the adjustment between the master cylinder and booster. It comes from Leed Brakes with the master cylinder connected to...

Geoff, Thanks for the info. Re the booster, Yes Im aware that it is not the original style 11"one. I would have preferred that, but no one in Australia has got a 11" unit so settled for something that is similar. Re the distance for the pin from the pivot point. Im just tripple checking before...

Guys,  Does anyone have the correct measurements for a 71-73 Mustang auto trans brake pedal for a car that has power assist brakes? I'm after the measurements for the distance from the centre of the top pivot point to the centre of the pin that connects to the booster push rod. Most...

Thanks Mike. Unfortunately the kit I got did not have the stud. I have arranged for a local engineering company to add a stud as that will be quicker than ordering one from the US and getting it sent to Australia. I will update once I get the pedal back.

David, thanks for that. If you can send me the grommet that would be great.. I will PM you.

Geoff, Yep, I have a local engineering company that can do the work for me. Just need to wait a week or so for them to clear other work before mine. It would take them no more than 30 min to do I would expect.

Thanks for the link. I will do some research to see if I can find a local supplier in Australia.

Thanks Tom. Im doing a mixed install. A booster and master cylinder from Leedbrakes and local (Australian 1986 Falcon) front spindles and Girlock aluminium callipers. Mainly to enable getting new pads much easier than having to get them from the US when they wear out.

Im in the middle of installing a leedbrakes unit also. Looks to be a good quality unit. 

Guys, I'm looking to replace the old rubber grommet on the speedo cable that goes through the cowl. Other than buying a new cable to replace the existing one that is working perfectly, has anyone come up with an idea on how to replace just the grommet? Any suggestions? See my old one.

Thanks for the updates guys. Tom. Thanks for the update. Yes if I could get the stud from Leeds that would be ideal. I have messaged them. I'm checking locally to see if anyone has a pedal that will work. Does anyone have a pedal they could measure the total length and spacing between the...

Guys, Thanks for the update. I will probably go down the route of adding the extra pin to the pedal. I installed the new booster with the pedal installed and marked with a sharpie there the pedal intersects and it is around 2 inches.  I don't have a welder, but have a engineering place near me...
