    I used a alarm hood pin switch.  Drilled a hole on the emergency brake bracket.  Tapped into the wire going to the pressure differential sw.  The foot pedal hits the plunger on the sw breaking the ground and turning off the brake warning light when the emergency brake is off.

    I like this option. Simple and effective. There is nothing more frustrating than remembering you left the e brake on as you are pulling away. This should help prevent that.

    Here's the deal. I have a stock 69 convertible, 302, AC, 4 sp. The only modifications have been upgraded compressor, disc brakes, 4 spd (was 3  spd). My radiator took a dump and now I either need to replace or recore.

    From what I can find, my options are;

    New radiator, American made performance for 500+/-

    Import for 300

    Recore for 300

    I'm leaning towards a recore... This seems to be a great price from a local radiator shop. I've read but need to verify that the recore would use better quality materials than the import rads.  

    Am I missing anything?

    Should keeping it stock be a factor? My current radiator is C9ZE J1

     

    thanks

    By doing the way I described you are bending both the door frame where the flange is attached to and the guide rod top flange . That way, the door frame where the rod is attached to gets bent outboard a lot more than the rod flange gets bent. The problem is not the guide rod flange, problem is the location of the mounting point on the door frame. My driver side fits fine without any tweaking, but the passenger side (which is an undamaged original to the car door) had the issue; measured the frame mounting points and saw that the pass side is inboard compared to drivers side.

    But you can cut and reweld the flange of the guide rods and move the glass outboard if you do not want to bend the door frame.

    Now it's beginning to become clear. When I saw Ridge Runners pic on the different guide rod ends for 69 and 70, I knew the angled one would not fit the door.

    So, you have to bend the rod flange and the door mount.

    I sure hope others can use this info. Thanks for all the help!

    Let me just add that, This is the site for 69 / 70 mustangs!!

    My 69 convertible has been upgraded to bolt on glass and it sits off the door outer felt by about 1/4 - 3/8 inch. This causes it to push in on the windshield pillar weatherstrip when rolling up. I've tried all alignment options and nothing seems to correct the problem.
    After reading several post on the problem, none of which had a solution, it seems the location of the c guides that ride the guide posts are the root cause. Being bolted on the outside of the glass instead of on the bracket, inset and underneath the glass on glue in, it pushes the glass inward.

    Now, how to fix it?
    I've thought about grinding/milling down the inside of the c clamp.
    Or, I've thought about moving the guide rods out at the top, by cutting and rewelding the flange.

    I think getting a replacement set of guide rods and playing with then is the way to go.

    If you've got a better idea or have experience with this issue, please enlighten me.

    I will try and get some picks up after work today.

    Thanks John
