Thanks Don.

Thanks Don. I took some pics of the other side of my motor mounts and posted them below. It appears to me that I still have enough rubber remaining but wanted to check with the forum. Can anyone verify these mounts are in good enough shape to reuse? Thanks again.

Thanks Steve. So can anyone tell me if these motor mounts are good enough to use and have enough rubber left on them? Thanks.

I am cleaning up my 71 convertible motor mount insulators and have a few questions. 1. It looks like there should be a layer of rubber molded into the top of the insulators but mine appear to be gone (see pic). Is that correct? 2. If there should be a rubber layer, can I add the rubber coating...

Well I did some Googling and came across these upper control arm shaft seals that are sold by classicparts.com: https://classicparts.com/1963-72-contol-arm-shaft-seal-upper-c10. The site sells Chevy truck parts but when I spoke to someone at the company, they told me the seal dimensions were...

I chiseled, Dremeled and finally drilled out the ball joint that needed replacing on my lower control arm. I went off a little bit on the drill bit and elongated two of the holes (circled in red below). Not sure what the safest and best way to proceed is. I feel I have three options. 1. Can I...

Thanks Don. I will take a look.

Thanks. I have the external boot. Wasn't sure if I needed the boot and the o-ring. Will try and track down the boots.

I removed and took apart my upper control arm. Looks like I just need a new set of shaft seals and a new ball joint. Can anyone tell me where I can just purchase the seals? I Googled the part but couldn't find anything for sale. My shaft looks fine except the seals were torn. Also, will I need a...

Thanks 351c1971. I figured i would need to replace all of the seals and probably the piston.

Thanks Mike. I will make sure to do that.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. After not budging the caliper by spraying on Kroil and waiting a day, then Krud Kutter (The Must For Rust) and waiting a few days, then using a C clamp to depress the caliper, I finally gave up and resorted to violence. I used a large screwdriver, a breaker bar...

Thanks everyone for your advice. I think I may take up Mike's advice and soak the whole thing first to remove the rust. If that doesn't work then I will need to resort to violence.

Thanks @giantpune. I will give that a try.

Thanks 72conv. I included a picture of the rear of my caliper and I have already removed the caliper locating pins and the stabilizer bolts, unless I'm seeing something different. Are there any other bolts or clips I need to remove?

I have looked all over this site and have done a bunch of internet searches but I can't find a solution for my problem. I'm hoping someone on this site can point me in the right direction. I replaced the front clip on my 71 Mustang and brought home the original left and right side of the front...

Thanks Bob! Glad I could help someone. Not sure if Alclad II High Gloss Lacquer would work better than the S-02 sealer. I decided to bite the bullet and try one more time to repaint the bezels and seal them. Would probably help if I practice more before I shoot the final coats. Will let you and...

I have an update on my fight with the S-02 Chrome Sealer over the Molotow Chrome. Below are some pics of my BELTS and PARK lights on my dash. I air brushed the Molotow Chrome on and it came out nice. Very shiny and looked pretty close to chrome. After a few months I airbrushed on the S-02 Sealer...

Thanks @vintageman and @judge.

I replaced the floors and seat platforms on my 1971 Mustang convertible and had a question about the stud that the seats attach to on the seat platform (see pic below). Does anyone know how this stud gets attached? Is it attached before the seat platform is welded in place or after? Do they sell...
