What year is your car? Those braces, if fitted on a 64 will allow the use of and 72 Mustang drum/drum master. For 65 or 66, it will depend on the booster you have. There's lots of info around about the choices you have. Terry 64HT Terry, When I looked into this several years ago none of the dual M/...

Do you have a dual MC? I think I do, but it's not assembled and working. I've adapted a 2015 Corvette M/C to the factory booster. It's the only thing I found that will clear the tower brace. It's white plastic/nylon which I don't like the look of, but still a good trade-off to get a dual M/C. I'd p...

I have 2 different styles of shock tower braces, the passenger side has a rib on top. the driver's side looks like a skinny coke bottle. Is this stock and why the differences?

Thanks for your input...

Alan is exactly right... Most chrome shops won't take pot metalwork in since once it's stripped you never know how badly it's pitted. I used Ogden Chrome/Plating, Ogden, UT. They were very expensive, they took a long time, but their work is show quality and were wonderful to work with. Jose the mana...

I'm looking for the rubber buffer caps that snap over the adjustment bolts...

Scott,

That's the strangest idea Ford ever had... then is it a spring compressor? Be interesting to see a pic of whatever it is. There some be something unique about the front suspension to have to manufacture your own tool...

Thanks, Scott...

Many thanks for the quick reply...

When installing the engine do you attach the motor mounts to the car or engine first?

Thanks,

Mitch

Paul,

That's good news, that was a great referral...

Mitch

Patrick,

Thanks for the lead, I ordered one. It will be interesting to see how comprehensive and complete the schematic is. I figure you get enough information, sooner or later you'll figure it out. I have an avionics buddy who's very good and I'll see if I can enlist services...

Mitch

Allan, Thanks for your thoughtful reply... I didn't see any schematics in the '65' Thunderbird Shop Manual... there are schematics for the convertible top, am I missing something? The blue Electrical manual would be a help, but it's not a schematic if you are re-wiring the entire car.

I guess that is a big NO... I can't believe that someone must have a real copy of the wiring? Not asking for free...

Thanks,

Here's what I ended up with: 1. Holly 2 barrel carbs jetted to my engine requirements. 2. Progressive all Stainless Steel linkage 3. Heim bearing linkage where needed. 4. Thermal barrier applied to the underside of the manifold. 5. All threaded opening have been Helicoiled. I furnished and made the ...

Does anyone publish full-size schematics for the '65' Thunderbird? I have the Electrical Assembly Manual but would like a larger format just dedicated to the circuitry.

Thanks,
