Mustang Tech

Hey Guys

I am about to start converting my LHD 66 to RHD. I have a kit for the install.
My question is what paper work if any needs to be done before I start?

Do I need to submit a vehicle modifacation form?

Ok Latest update The car is now self centering when turning. Only just but good enough for the pits I would say. Here's what I found. My steering box had been adjusted and over tightened. I backed off the adjustment so my steering wheel turned easy and smooth. I had replaced the idler arm with a Sco...

that's why I am fixing this problem aswell. The rego Boys put it on the list that the car must self centre. I am up to 3 deg of pos castor, using shims and dialing the lower castor rod as far forward as possible. I am going to do the upper arm shelby mod which dials in more castor and changes roll c...

Hey Guys My 66 Mustang V8 went for a wheel alignment today to try and rectify the steering not self centering, Well long story short after dialing in heaps of castor the car still does not self center. Any clues on what could be the fault? We have adjusted the steering box ,tried tightening and loos...

Horn to work- had a button but he could 'nt find it. supply weigh bridge cert- why? stamp new engine number on block- easy they gave us the number on the day Steering to sel...

Well friday was not my day with storms and pouring rain it was not a good idea to take a drum brake car out to the pits. Will rebook and try again next week. In other news the car had a terrible vibration after about 2000rpm. Turns out the fan had bent blades and one wing missing. Remove dodgy fan a...

Oh yeah........

You're not the only one waiting for info on these cars.

Exactly, that is what I was wondering. Deal could go bad real quick.

I have a guy who inspects cars over there ,so that is no worries.

Has anyone bought a car from Fabulos 50's Motor Company?

They have a 66 I am thinking about buying.

Very true, alot of it is your attitude, I have an appointment at Midland next friday. Oh and a carton of Corona in the passenger seat helps aswell......

CHange front indicator lenses to clear or wire park lights to headlights Make sure all lights are working (the American way) degrease engine and under car. No rust. Stamped engine number with last 6 of VIN(front of block behind alternator). Tighten...

Well after waiting in line at Welshpool for hours and realising the Guys are on a go slow I gave up. It was painfull to watch them. Two guys would only work at one time, two guys would come out and do two cars then they would go inside and two ther guys would come out 1/2 hour later and the same wou...

Ok where do I get clear lenses from for the front indicator?
The headlight inserts I got have park light globes in them, maybe I should wire the park lights to the new headlights? I thought the lights had to stay the same as the yanks intended?

Cheers for the tips Guys, heading off soon.

Cheers Tim

Bugger I don't have the space to carry out that correction, maybe I could put it at the end?

Do I need to fit an immobiliser?
Will update what work order I get tomorrow night.
