I had a drone in mine which was particularly bad up a gentle incline. I have sound proofing on the floor and firewall. About two weeks I took the rear side panels off. Not sure what they're call but the fiberglass ones next to the rear passenger knees. I added think soundproofing behind them and have noticed a dramatic improvement.

Hi all, after recently rebuilding my 351 Cleveland I damaged the flame plate installing the tranny. I replaced the flex plate and stupidly didn’t keep the old one. The engine had been balanced and now I have a vibration so it looks like I need to rebalance it with the new flex plate. To minimise disassembly is it possible to remove the crankshaft without removing the camshaft, pistons and rods? I’m thinking it is but not sure. Thanks

That sounds great. Extractors as well?

I have just finished this and it is a really great mod. I sourced motors from a US wrecking yard on eBay. For the switch I used a switch from an Australian AU Falcon. I fitted mine in the consul as it is right hand drive and I didn't want to cut the door trim. With seven wires from the switch and 3 wires from each motor it took a lot of trail and error to map out the wiring. In the end I still have the up/down part in reverse, but suspect it a result of a switch that is not from a US Mustang. For my Aussie mates I suspect there are motors in Aussie mirrors that would work but the difficulty is finding one that is small enough to fit in the housing. The SN95 motors give very little clearance and I had to grind out a bit of the housing so they didn't bind in full down. I had my local glass guy cut the mirrors. Original mirrors don't fully cover the motor. All in all this was a fun job that doesn't involve a great amount of skill. The hard work was done by Rick in finding what works (Thanks). Really happy with the outcome.

Bugger me, those are some insane prices. Even with our shitty dollar

Very nice work. That looks great

Took the mustang out on Saturday morning for a bit of a cruise. Found a nice quite section of road. No houses, no cars and only Bush. Did a nice big Smokey burnout the went on my way. My 17 year old son was at a party that night and some random kid showed him a video of a hoon lighting up a mustang. Where the hell was this kid? Must have been hiding in the bushes waiting for me. now my son’s giving me shit about lecturing him on doing things like this. FYI his licence is suspended from tonight for three months for speeding on his Ps.

I tried to fix them but had no success.

Hi mate, don’t know the brands. The first two were from a local mustang shop at $270 each. They were quite a tight fit. The second two were from a classic ford falcon shop at $110 each. These fitted much better. As I fitted the last one I kept a multimeter connected to see if I had a problem during the install. Luckily I didn’t. Could have bought a new wheel cheaper, but where’s the fun in that.

Did a resto on the steering wheel. Pretty happy with the result. Although I buggered 3 horn rim blows before I got one right. A costly exercise but finally happy.

On the weekend I finally got around to fitting the intermittent wiper module I bought from you two years ago. Took about ten minutes. I can’t believe I kept putting it off. And it works great. Thanks Danno.

When I did the right hand drive conversion I had to change the location of the wipers. I had just bought a TIG and as I was learning so warped the panel. I tried hammering it out and even with bog I wasn't happy so I decided to get a new panel and have another go. This time with the old faithful TIG. As I have no idea what sort of paint or coating was used on the bonnet I can't match it so will need to repaint that as well. I'm pretty happy this time round.

Looking good

Hi, I am in the middle of a freshen of my panel. I can't see how to get the clock mechanism out of the housing without damaging it. Can you help. Thanks,

Thanks for that. I did try this but didn't want to risk damaging the knob. The shaft has corrosion where it screws into the knob so it's stuck firm. I'll give it another go tonight

Hi, I need to remove the lense from my clock so I can give it a polish. Could I have some guidance on how the knobs come off. thanks

Very nice, but are you sure those pictures are in the UK. That's blue sky.

I agree with Mike. They're not expensive. Just replace them and have peace of mind.

A few months back I had done a few jobs on my 69 and when I started it there was a strange ticking/popping noise from my PSP. Steering worked fine but it was reasonably loud so I had to fix it. I bought a second hand PSP and fitted it and the noise was the same. Really frustrating and what are the odds both PSPs had the same fault. They didn't. Turned out, that with all the jobs I had done, one was to fit an electric fuel pump near the tank. I bypassed the mechanical fuel pump and because it was behind the PSP I was leaving removing it to a later day. The noise was the popping of the fuel pump as I hadn't capped the fittings, which sits right behind the PSP. Even worse, the PSP I fitted leaked oil so I had to change it back. Smack up the back of the head was well deserved.

Probably not new, but it appeals to me.

I have a GPS tracker which has remote disable functions. I had already fitted an electric fuel shutoff because I believed fuel was draining out of the carby when parked without starting for a few weeks. I also have an electric fuel pump at the fuel tank. Incidentally, it's still a prick to start if left for more than two weeks. If the car is towed, turned on or battery disconnected I get a text and email. I open the app and it shows the cars location and if moving. I can then click 'Disable'. Options include Immediately or <10mph (to avoid an accident). I have the disable connected to my fuel shutoff. The car will run for until the carby is out of fuel but the pump can still be heard running so the asshole is not aware of what is happening, All it needs is a 'Release Trunk Monkey' function. The map also shows the cars route. This is an Australian service with an annual subscription (Mustrack) which is quite cheap. Not sure what's available in the US.

This is all we see on the news in Australia. Now they are protesting here in support and trying to say our cops are killing the locals as well. When a cop kills someone in Australia it's so rare it's on every news channel. But they still try top make it about race without looking at what the person did that led to being killed. What gets me is the pollies are too gutless to address issues because it may upset a minority group. We all feel for you guys and what you are going through. Hopefully there will be a return to normality soon. And back to worrying about COVID 19.

Great idea modifying the light housing like that. I'll add it to my list of 'to does'. thanks

Too scary! I realised how much i need this forum. Now that's sad.

Hi mate, its a bit hard under the car but the travel appears to be 6 1/8" or 16.5cm. It is definitely reduced circle from the original mustang power steering.
