I have the scott drake that looks like the 69-70 buckles. The buckle is smaller than the OE, quality is not great, you definitely need to enlarge the mounting hole for the bolts to be installed properly. Also, If your tall and set the seat all the way back, the lower part of the seat will interfere with the belt retractor and after awhile the plastic brakes off and won't retract sometimes. the belt length is much shorter than OE Design so if you are a big guy like myself, these are not it, you may need to install an extender bracket. With the OE design, I had much more wiggle room. I'm sure others will chime in, but I'm actually looking for a different set or just might go back to the OE as Im not happy with Scott drakes quality and fitment.

Just wanted to stop by and say hello! its been awhile! Sorry I haven't been posting much. I was out of work for a bit due to the major tech layoffs In CA but took some time off to enjoy the car and travel before I found work again! so far, Im done with my 69 coupe and just enjoying it! now Im bored...so I am now looking for another 69, but this time an FB or mach1 keep your eyes peeled if you hear anything f/s. wish i could post pictures of the coupe, but I think pics uploads are still disabled. seems the site slowed down with traffic a bit, Hope everyone is doing well!

I was running the stock 8 when I had my old 393w stroker, I was putting down 365rwhp 400rwtq. it can take the power, just don't put a sticky tire on, unless you are racing. if you are that dead set on going with a ford 8 and want posi, send your old one or get a new rebuilt set here: https://8and9inchfordrears.com/ plenty of ppl used him and had no issues. just go with upgraded spline to 31 and upgrade the axles and you'll be set. The reason I say save up for a ford 9, its because thats what I did, I didn't want to pay twice if I wanted to go bigger, I rather set it and forget it.

Its a pulley puller: https://www.amazon.com/SCITOO-Steering-Removal-Installation-Disconnect/dp/B07KG7DC9W?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A3GW5CKPDHE2JH to properly align the belts, I also use this one: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/dayco-belt-diagnostic-kit-two-piece-laser-alignment-tool-with-belt-wear-identifier-93874/10030803-p?product_channel=local&store=9892

what side is your alternator on driver or passenger? most traditional p/s setups are on the driver side, NPDlink.com would be your best to source the pump, bracket. you just need to a pulley alignment tool to adjust the pump pulley and align the drive belt.

I put down 453rwhp 525rwtq with 3:50s with a TKX (68OD) behind my 427w stroker. At 65mph I'm around 2100-2300rpm, under 60 Im at 1800-2k rpms with ford 9 3:50's. if you have the 5 speed already installed, go with a ford 9 w/ 3:50s and go 31 spline trutrac, thats what I have and its a fun car to drive, good rpm pick up for street and highway. Otherwise, stick with the stock 8 until you upgrade. no need to invest in a ford 8 when it cost a few hundred more to go with a ford 9.

Anyone had their sensors that leaked? recently replaced the old unit but it still leaks after everything was tightened down.

Repop Export Braces...thin or thick?
rwcstang replied to fastmerc's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
I got mine through MustangsPlus years ago when they were still in the biz, NPD is your best bet, you would probably get more accurate answer from him if you reach out to him in Vintage Mustang Forums or just call NPD, his name is Rick, username is 69bossnine -

hood to cowl gap + question about hood pins
rwcstang replied to rwcstang's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
Thanks Mike, seems easy enough! -

Two Questions: whats the best way to install hood pins, is there a specific measurement, been looking around and cant find any regarding the hood pin install. Im curious if its normal to have a large hood/cowl gap in the rear? Front hood trim, lines up with the headlight buckets. the hood is a repop from NPD ( I think its only the 70 style hood)

Adjustable Motor Mounts? need recommendations
rwcstang replied to rwcstang's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
thanks, since Im running an aftermarket 4 bolt main block (man-o-war block), the oil pan is a t-sump so I will need to check dimensions if its a low profile or stock locaiton. -

from what I remember, NPD Owner commented about the popular brands getting their products from a few sources: Golden Legion & Yeou Wei Are Manufacturers. CJ's and Dynacorn are not manufacturers. If I were to wager, the skins you got from CJ where made by Ensuretech (ES) and the one got from Dynacorn were Yeou wei Link: https://www.vintage-mustang.com/threads/69-70-door-skins.1222772/?post_id=10947363#post-10947363 He's commented on the whole process of manufacturing and which has the best ones, but for the life of me, I can't find the thread.
