Vintage Thunderbird Club International

hi,
looking for a set of inside pilarpost trims for my 65 convertible.

mine kinda look like they came of a Coupe and were cut to fit. they don't fit very well anyway.

Yes I do have the shop manual. and it is really helpfull. but sometimes I just don't completly understand what they are meaning with some parts. but ok. I will start with bleading the system. can somebody confirm my thougts about the soilnode? and about the temperature gauge: what is a normal place ...

thunderbird.jpg picture of the situation I talk about. sorry for my language, maybe I use wrong word in some situations. don't know al the good translations from Dutch to English. the small circle is the oil filler cap. here i added some extra hydraulic fluid. but I didn't bleed the system because ...

Hi all, last saturday i meet up with a friend who have some problems with his convertible. first problem is the deck won't go open. The twistlocks unlock, but the hydraulics don't take over. My first idea was the deck limit switch, but it seems to work properly. Then i filled up the hydraulic oil in...

Hi all, Currently restoring a 65 convertible, the wiring harness in the car is really bad shape. They Just cut out parts of it, put some wires extra to connect things. So, useless I am looking for a replacement harness but cant find a new one. Is IT for sale somewhere? Or is here somebody who have o...

I found this wire cut off under nu softtop in the trunk.
Don't know where it is for? Could it be the light in the topframe?

Anybody any advice on this? Nuts broken
Seems my rear bumper was only hold by 2 bolds

Ok, update
Changed the booster. Problem solved so far.
Now I see That there is some brakefluid in the booster so I am going to change the mastercillinder as well

Ok, think it is a leak in the booster, sucks on the hose and look like I keep getting air.

Can I take the mastercillinder of without disconnecting the oillines?

And is there a way to disconnect the booster so I can keep driving it but without powerbrake?

I took off the upper hose. It have a good vacum I think, I do feel it good.
I cant find any leak.
But were does the second hose goes to? Goes to a metal pipe That goes down behind the engine.

Hi,
in my 63' with powerbrake the pedal goes real hard Since yesterday.
I looked into the manual and there they say it could be a vacuüm leak, but the engine runs well. Is it treu That the engine wont run so niCE when vacum leaks?

What could I do more to fix this problem?

Yes it looks like the one of oldair products
But they don't sell frontplates only.

I think it is the same as eboose7 got in his beautiful thunderbird. It was in my car when I bought it 25 years ago. But just restored my interior and like to put a new chrome front on it to finish it

Hi all,

In 56 thunderbird I've got an aftermarket AC
Are there more people who got one like this?
I am looking for parts but can't find what I need.
Especially the chrome frontbezel

First of all. Sorry if I make some weird sentences I am not always sure about the right about names from parts in English language So if I am right. At the steeringbox is one tooth missing in the axle where I shove the column over. I trying several ways to put but only in one way I come this far. At...

But at the beginning I had already a lot of problem. I think because of the right line of the splines.
At one point I came as far as shown on picture.
But can't get the last few centimers with normal pushing.

Are there more ways the splines fits in each other's? I thought it just go on 1 way
