rotormotor Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Very partial to the second gen muzzy over the rest. Blue should pop again with the chrome added. Closest I got was a 75 mitsi gto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Gruntfuttock Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Yeah couple of Windsor plugs can be a bit awkward, can't remember which one, but one of mine is only accessible with the right combination of socket extension/universal joint attachments. Typically they're the plugs that never get changed or get cross-threaded by booger-fingered owners... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 I've had to grind some off the OD of a plug socket to work on some tight locations. Also you can use a spanner on the hex on the end of the socket for tricky ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 I think I can get the socket in the hole just not on the plug. I tried to sand the crap off it but a bit hard to access. The access is easy enough although the windsor plug point down compared to a clevo which the side of the head are upright. Tiny engine though so that makes it a bit easier. I used anti seize which will make them much easier next time. And not waiting 15 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRREMN Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Nice car, I have a 69 Cougar which has same running gear as a mustang and ive brought headers for it, there is a bracket i brought that lowers the steering ram that might help clearance. Did you need to get a certification for the seat belts? mine has horrible 3 peice ones and id love to fit some retractable ones like yours has. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Posted Monday at 03:52 Author Share Posted Monday at 03:52 Gidday @DRREMN, the Cougar looks cool.

The clearance around the exhaust is not going to be fixed by moving the ram as far as I can tell, it is an issue with hitting the headers or frame as it moves lock to lock. The way the power valve works is the issue. If I was to mod it I'd chuck in a Borgeson Pwr steer kit. I've not heard great things about the Flaming River racks and I don't want to change the geometry in case I mess things up. The belts were fitted in 1998 according to the label but there is no cert. I'm not sure if it is required as the mounting points are stock but someone might know the regs better. There are some good kits and the 67 and later Mustangs (and I assume Cougars) have mounts in the roof for the belts so are much safer than retro fitting to 66 or earlier cars. I used a business called Auckland Seatbelts and he seemed to know his stuff. I asked about the rears as they are not inertial reel but the reels look a bit ugly sitting on the parcel shelf. The belts are great though. They do kinda ruin the pillarless look but I like having an inertia reel as I can take the wife and the dog for a cruise and everyone is belted in safely.

anglia4 Posted Monday at 22:59 Share Posted Monday at 22:59 I have headers on my 68 and also had to use the bracket to lower the end of the ram. I made the bracket myself. Word of warning though, the extra leverage that it puts on the bracket tore mine out of the chassis... I had to weld in some new threaded inserts and reinforce it.

Wouldn't lowering it just give more clearance underneath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
