As far as I know, with that kit you have to cut the holes on lower dash and the kit should have a template for the holes. You do not need to buy a lower dash. And that kit requires you to cut a non ac dash pad to install the dash went; if you bought an ac dash, I believe the went will be small for the opening and you have to make a panel to fill the gap between the went and opening on the dash.

It has been a few years since I reassembled my 69 Grande; if my memory serves me right, it had the smaller clips. Looks like both smaller and bigger clips will work and might be that they used some left over 68 clips on your car if it was an early production car.

By the way, been to Brisbane.

On my 69, some of the pins were "flattened" as you call and some had the "fasteners". The car had been painted before, I think they flattened the ones when they lost some of the fasteners or damaged them while removing for paint. It is easier to put the fasteners and less chance of messing it up; so I believe factory should have used the fasteners instead of flattening them.

Don't know why you want to put autometer temp gauge as Sniper shows coolant temp on display if you want. Sniper provided temp sensors often does not read correct, I had to replace it. I installed the Sniper temp sensor on intake, and installed the original temp sensor which goes to original temp gauge on thermostat housing using a housing that has a port for sensor. As far as I remember, the housing I used is Duralast brand. Both Sniper and original gauge show the coolant temp. If you have to have autometer temp gauge, installing it on the thermostat housing is the easiest. A sensor is installed on housing will read a little low when thermostat is closed though.

Hat is spot welded. If you remove it you have to figure out how you are going to reattach it.

Are you thinking 2 post or 4 post lift? Just fyi 2 post requires thicker slab.

Looking good, now you have to get the Mustang in there and start wrenching.

Sorry we don't have a diner in this forum (yet). But if you want your shorts checked, Randy ( @Midlife) will be happy to help.

Made one set, should finish the rest in a few days.

I believe there is a circuit breaker in the headlight switch, and it keeps resetting. Might be a short somewhere or a bad headlight switch. Wait for Randy or Mach1driver to chime in.

If it is a daily driver/cruiser with a small block which is not modified for more power, even the smaller 7.25 inch that came on 6 cylinder will work. I have been using one over 25 years on one of my cars.

For a sunny day cruiser, even the preset tuning works okay; but I am running it on my daily driver 69 Mustang. So I am trying to tune it to start and run good even at below freezing temps with no to minimum warm up time and with good fuel efficiency.

This is the link to the switch, I believe I have a few left for $30 plus shipping.

Mine will not cost $24 each and not be used :) I also make the parking brake switch and sell it cheaper than WCC wants for a used one.

I will make 12 when I have some time as I am busy with my project too. Hopefully a week or two is okay with you; I think it is because you will be spending a lot of time with Sniper, install is easy, but tuning it is not unless you have tuning experience. I am still trying to tune mine after installing it on one of my cars over 2 years ago.

I recommend that you remove the glasses on your cars and check the rollers first. It may be that they are just loose and you can tighten them as described on the thread I linked. But if one of the tabs/wings of the rollers are broken, you will need new ones. I do not know your capabilities, make sure you understood how I installed them because you need to be able to remove the old ones, modify the original fastener by drilling and tapping. If you still want 12 rollers without checking them first, that is fine with me but you have to give me some time before I can print them.

You should be good, moving the seat risers back does not affect the console mounting.

I can make some if you need any.

They are not reproduced. But this link have couple ideas for you.

Bob, my 70 vert does not have one piece seat riser with hump either. As far as I know, one piece seat riser is on 65-68 verts. On 69-70 all body styles have 2 piece seat riser with verts having provisions on risers to fit over inner vert rockers.

Vic, as far as I know, there is no such thing as mini console on 69-70, just the console you have; I believe this includes Shelby too. And 69-70 have 2 piece seat platform on all body styles; not like 65-68 vert specific one piece seat platform. So 65-68 have vert specific consoles but there is no vert specific console on 69-70. If a 69-70 did not come with console, the ash tray is hung under heater control panel; cars with console have the ashtray as part of console (and you have a gauge pod in ashtray spot). So you are good if you have the correct top piece (chrome piece) for auto shifter. As a side note, 69 have cigar lighter on console by arm rest, non console cars have the lighter on ash tray assy under heater control panel. 70 console does not have a lighter, lighter is next to wiper switch. Last time I looked for a console all reproduction consoles were 69 consoles with lighter, don't know if they started to reproduce 70 consoles without lighter. Install your carpet, center the shifter bezel, press on the console and drill the side holes. I would recommend that before you drill the holes, heat up a nail or something and burn through the carpet through console holes carefully otherwise your drill bit may catch the carpet loop and pull the string damaging your carpet, happened to me on a 66. Burn, drill install a screw; one hole at a time.

Is your issue not sitting flush on the sides of the tunnel? If so, that is normal, need to be installed over carpet/padding. Install to last piece that goes on top of the console (the piece with chrome and woodgrain vinyl). That top piece is either auto or manual trans specific, make sure you have the one for the auto so it fits over shifter bezel. One side of the opening is angled different on auto one as auto shifter is not centered on tunnel. Install your carpet/padding then put the console over the tunnel. Drill the holes for the side of the console, then drill the top holes.

Ridge, that can't be from Harbor Freight, because looks like it says made in USA on it.

Hankook Optimo H724 comes with whitewall like your Mastercraft. And you can get them from a few places including Walmart. I have them on my daily driver 1969 Mustang and no complaints. Cheers PS: My daily driver is also champain gold.
