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

Hi Wayne, welcome from the UK. I had problems with my speedo bouncing around after I had the dash board out, because I had not fully inserted the speedo cable fully home. I found it easier to remove the speedo cable from the gearbox end first, and this allows you to pull the dash board out alot...

I put the 69/70's tail lights and panel on my 73, plus added an orange lens for the indicators for the UK.

I will have a look on the net for some more info about the adjustable PV unit. Thanks for your input.

On my Wilwood callipers there are two nipples. But when you install them on their mounts the upper nipple faces about 10 o'clock, so hence the reason for removing them. I might be able to swing them upright by just removing the lower mounting bolt.

It was to do with the Wilwood brake nipples not being at the top of the calliper when installed. Someone suggested to remove them and bleed them whilst holding them in your hand with the nipple facing upwards.

Another question. If I have replaced the drums for Discs brakes, do I still need the brake proportional valve, or can I remove this?

Thanks Sheriff for your reply. I have replaced all of my brake pipe in 3/16th nickel/copper, so thank God this is correct and I don't have to replace that lot again, NIGHTMARE I am having a bit of a problem with poor brakes. Although I am running a Supercharger ( very little vacuum...

Same here, my windscreen broke. I used a cheese wire to cut through the sealer but I just could not quite get all the way round the base. I slowly prised the windscreen away from the roof section at the top by about 20 inches, hoping it would tear the sealer away from the upper cowling, but no...

I have got this happening to me next year. I will be 64 and will be made redundant at work after 25 years service, the package is very very good, so I'm looking forward to driving my finished 17 year old restoration project, a Supercharged 73 Mach1 around all next summer. We have a 5 bedroom 2...

I replaced all of mine with the nickel/copper and used the Hand held brake flaring tool ( Ebay £19.00 ) and a hand held bending tool to create smooth curves. Can someone advise me, What size is the brake pipe, are there two sizes, because I'm sure my PV has two different size threads, or has...

I have seen plastic hats for replacing the rusted out one, and these are just glued in place with silicon sealer. The repair kit I had involved cutting out the old one from underneath and glue the new one up from underneath. It had a large square collar plate around the base, probably 2 inches...

Do you mean the roof rail trim that your trying to get off. Underneath the weather strip rubber ( which can be glued in at various areas ) you will find small screws that fasten it to the roof rail. This trim may also be glued in with silicon at intervals, so be careful not to be to aggressive...

Nice work, been there and done that, now for the filler or bondo, which I hated doing. That job sucks.

Great news on firing her up and after such a long period, well done. You must be proud. It brings a smile to your face and a cheer when they start breathing again. I rebuilt my 351c 18 years ago, done 800miles and then it went into a long storage time of 17 years while my Mustang went into a...

I have this problem now with my hood, after respraying and installing. My hinges are a bit tight , probably when I painted them, and now has caused some resistance. Makes sense that these hoods bow because of their sheer length. I am going to opt for shimming the fenders a bit. There's alot of...

Hello you Mustang lovers. After 17 years and 1 month, I have finally finished my Supercharged 73 Mach1, well, almost, apart from these 4 items. I think they may be to do with the trunk lock mechanism, but not sure. Can anyone help with the mystery?
