LOL. Nice one.. Nice to get a mention.

Thanks for the info David. Yes they are a bit yellowed and a bit powdery. Will have a look at cleaning them up.

Mike, Thanks.. I thought that may be the case. Will get a replacement stick on cover before I start.

Gents, Simple question and I think I know the answer but thought I would ask. I have a 72 Mach1 that has the original door trims and window winders. I need to remove the door trim, so need to get the window winder off Is there a screw behind the metal looking disk? If it is a factory cover...

Thanks Geoff. Here in Australia we can have red flashing indicators, but they are so uncommon, ie only older imported cars some times have them, most people would not know the red flashing is the indicator. So I erred on the side of caution and changed to amber.

I proceeded with my plan and added an extra Amber bright LED to the centre part of the tail light assembly. I then ran 2 wires and spliced them into the wires from the steering column plug as planned. I then cut the 2 tail light wires that go to the stop lights and the wire from the stop...

Don, Thanks for the links. I will have a read

To update this toping. I have found a small T10 Wedge type socket that I will insert a bright Amber LED into and drill a hole in the tail light housing and add the extra light to the centre section of the tail light. This will avoid having to cut the wires for the reversing light and keep the...

David, Thanks for your comments.. I had forgotten that if I feed the 2 extra wires from the front indicator wires and not change the wires for the stop lights then the rear brake lights would still flash. Option A: I need to do both your suggestion of basically joining wire 16 from the stock...

Thanks for the tip. I checked the LED tail lights at CJ Pony parts. They only make the lights brighter and they dont appear to change the turn signal to yellow. They look like they retain the red colour to be flashing for turn signals.

Guys, As I live in Australia, all cars, even those built as far back as the 50's on onwards, have yellow rear turn signals. The red flashing stop / tail light set up is basically an unknown thing here. I'm concerned that people (especially those new to driving and those in a hurry) will not...

I put a new seal in mine (no holes) and adjusted the catch. It takes a bit of a push, note quite a slam to get it to close. Nice and tight seal on mine.  I have not added any glue / silicone to mine. Fits into the channel fairly well. If rubbed or knocked it will pop out, but I just put up with...

As I live in Australia and our design rules require lap sash belts to be installed in the rear seats from 1972 onwards, I needed to find a solution for the install. My Mach 1 has the fold down rear seat option and I did not want to have belts laying around when the rear seat was folded down. I...

Hey Mel. Am in Sunbury. Good luck with the build. I will be keeping mine stock and unrestored and just a driver. Mine has its original sports wheel covers but I do like the 12 slot look. Please keep us posted re your progress.

David, perfect.. Thanks. Yes the column is black, the sides of the centre part of the dash next to the radio and heater is ginger, the stock wheel is ginger and the belts were black before I removed them. I have some colour matched spray paint. So may pull it out and spray the dash pad I...

Looking for some info from the brains trust. I have a July 72 Mach 1 Sports roof that is gold glow with standard ginger trim. The car currently has a black dash pad but the steering wheel is ginger and some dash parts, ie beside the radio and the metal dash part near the windscreen are ginger...

In terms of the light not working. It could be as simple as the globe is blown in the dash or the contacts need cleaning on both the globe and the plastic twist in globe holder. I would start with a small file and just clean the contacts on both parts to see if that fixes your issue.

Hey guys, I'm looking for Rear interior plastics for sports roof with fold down seat. So both the large plastic trim pieces that are beside and behind the back fold down seat. Looking for a total of 4 panels 2 parts on the left and 2 on the right as circled. My car has standard trim and is...

What year is the car? I have a 72 wiring diagram and it indicates that Lt Green with Red dot is Park brake warning switch. It goes through connectors 41, 42 and 27. But none of those connectors for a 71 look like the one you have.

Thanks for the link. My challenge is that it is not one small crack.. About 40% of each of the panels need repair. I may have to forgo the texture and just sand back the panel in order to fix it then paint it.
