We had a similar issue with GBXs car, had to ditch the shroud & the spal fan and go to the Mondeo/Lincoln fan from memory. We looked at I think flexalite or Derale fully shrouded units that flowed crazy and I think from memory that solved the problem. The sheet metal shroud seems to reduce airfl...

Usually cruise overheating is an airflow problem. Fans really should not be needed at cruise speed, the slight improvement after removing the shroud is a clue. If you have a temp gun, grab some temps of the thermostat housing, inlet of the radiator, outlet of the radiator. Cross check your guages wi...

Manual set ups are all about the pedal ratio and you have accept you are not going to have a firm "modern" feeling pedal. The 65-66 run a 6.5:1 ratio from memory which is pretty much on the money. That combined with a 1" (Factory) or if you dont mind a little travel 15/16" master...

interestingly i rarely get calls for 65-66 manual brake issues and when I do its usually someone thinking its odd not having a booster rather than there being an actual problem or calipers needing a reco.

https://i.postimg.cc/cH3ntwYb/20130505-133221.jpg I massively compensate Ozbilt! 15" Rotors, Forged Monoblock Calipers. :wave2: They look good, stop well. I see people spending 10s of thousands of dollars on engine and driveline all the time. Why not put a bit a side for steering, brakes &...

Geez, Mr Ozbilt1 I hate to think what you thought of George's monsterous brakes then! Modern cars have evolved so much, the perception is the old brakes don't function as intended and is exaggerated when you drive your weekend car after your modern daily drive. I think in most circumstances you can ...

Rears can be quite the ordeal. Do you have internal park brake mechanism? If you do a lot stars need to align to get the right dimension rotor that also works with the mechanism. This is where a two piece rotor can be really useful as you make everything suit an off the shelf ring. You're best bet t...

Sorry I missed this whole deal guys, but yes as the USvAU dollar starts to bite we are seeing a lot more guys come to use with Brembo & AP Racing calipers from OE applications to adapt. Good job piecing the conversion together! These cheap OE brake calipers are actually really good, yes the extr...

I once used some cheap proform rollers on a stocker, thinking it would be better than the stamped steel rockers when we changed a stock hydro cam (non roller)... I had two rockers that insisted on chattering. Rotating the engine over by hand with covers off I was able to identify the offenders, but ...

You can also buy a 37* flare attachement for that style of tool which is good for AN flares

Keep in mind that foreign businesses are only required to register if they sell greater than 75k to Aus. I have bought some stuff recently which didn't get held up by suppliers in the US that didnt charge GST but kind of impossible to know if there is a grace period or if the supplier sells less tha...

I guess if the purpose was to do a cheap disc brake conversion sure. But if wanted to build a cheap, pretty tough diff then maybe not. The 8.8" is a pretty strong diff and its getting more support in the aftermarket. Couldn't comment on the nitty gritty of the install but the likes of strange, ...

I got 3 Clippers in the family and very familiar with those delights. You also get a lot of axle float, that will push the pistons in the calipers in or out, I've gotten used to (as well as the wife) pumping the brake pedal every now and then. Like I said. If you need to shorten, seriously consider ...

I think they are an 8.8". Like the GM C Clip diffs they are a decent diff (unless they are the useless 7.5" version) just axle retention is shiite. If you are shortening the diff then you can re-weld a big bearing flange on rather than the 8.8 flange. Unlikely to break an axle, more likely...

Disc Brakes vs C Clip axles? ?
