Re: 66 Mustang diff ID

I hope they've fitted the V8 spindles (5-stud) up front and not just left the weaker ones there.

Re: Project Lil Blue Coupe

Started converting the dash to a bolt-in, using an extra overlap section welded on top, with about a dozen M8 rivnuts securing it in place. Should make wiring up and accessing everything much easier later on. Hoping to be able to remove the whole dash intact with gauges, a/c, stereo wiring etc in pl...

Re: 1929 Model A Ford Roadster Pickup Project

I remember back in the olden days as an apprentice painter, the boss managed to find someone interstate that was able to send us a some leftover paint from a crash repair they had done on a rare car. We used his sample to spray a scrap door and then colour matched enough paint for a full respray. Wo...

Re: 1929 Model A Ford Roadster Pickup Project

Are there any other completed model A's nearby with the correct color to get someone scan or eye-match?

Re: Project Lil Blue Coupe

It fits nicely on the inside of the radiator support panel, just between the radiator and battery vent holes on the RHS of the car ... but wondering if it'll be too hot there.

Re: Project Lil Blue Coupe

That's what I was worried about but couldn't find much online about shielding them ... so thought perhaps it was just me being paranoid and uneducated (as usual). Is there a general rule of thumb safe distance I need to keep them away from the main EFI harness? I can just run them through another bu...

Re: Project Lil Blue Coupe

Is it worth shielding the CDI to Coil +- wires when running them within the engine harness and deutsch bulkhead fitting? I've only found a couple of posts about shielding them. I'm only shielding the hall crank sensor wires (at one end), and running twisted pairs for all the other sensors to the ECU.

Re: 65/66 Mustang length without guards

I got 4.35m from front of hood bumper mounts to the taillight panel. Measured it without taillights, bumpers, extensions etc.

Re: Project Lil Blue Coupe

The megasquirt relay board is nearly finished, just need to add some power and solder the engine ground to the pad. I swapped the board into a bigger case and I'm using ferules on the terminal black to keep the engineers at work happy 😊 I also upgraded the 20awg wires in the stock harness to 18awg f...
