Peter from Hoppers Stoppers told me years ago that the XF booster and master were way superior to the XD/E versions, hence the reason it was put on the XD that they did the R&D on their big brake kits with.Thom reacted to this -

From memory you'll have to relocate the lower tab sideways a little bit.
Then fill the gap where the headlight mounts on the radiator support and drill appropriate holes for them. You can see the cut out next to the inside edge of the headlight bucket in the pic below.
Then you have to play with plug ends to fit, indicators for the guards to be terminated, panel wise everything else should just bolt on no problemo.

Can be done lifting the engine off the mounts and dropping the gearbox crossmember. Only advisable if you've got Chinese hands and slender fingers.MNTL.XD reacted to this -
Worth sharing in the YouTube thread, not in an NA6 thread.Nath, Mr Polson and matt_lamb_160 reacted to this -
Painted at least 100 jobs over the years using a 1.4 tip using acrylic. Solids and metallics, all works the same.SLO247 and judgetread reacted to this -
Star are a direct rip off of Iwata. Still a good gun for cheapy paint jobs.
Anything above a 1.4 tip is useless with acrylic, at 1:1 mix it's too fluid and will pour out at a million miles an hour.

If you're going to paint plastic/flexible parts, use acrylic paint or an additive to 2K that will make it flexible.steve mcqueen and Nath reacted to this -
But only 3 holes Greg? Thats a bit strange considering the odd look it would give.
The few sets of Aungers I had as a "young and dumb" had 5 screw points with a daisy petal pattern around the cap so it was all symmetrical.
I hated the push in ones, take a corner too hard and they popped out :-/

Paging THORNSPAWN, paging THORNSPAWN! -
Have you rang 13FORD and got them to send you an information sheet yet wagoon? That will tell you if he really was the first owner. In saying that you could also specify anything you wanted on the build sheet, to get French Blue you may have just had to pick the code Z760, "tick the box" and thank you very much Mr Dealer.wagoon reacted to this -
Z760 is French Blue, information courtesy of AFF.
The reason why it's different to a standard colour code number or digit is it's what they call a "Fleet Colour", your car was originally ordered by a company and they had their own colour for their company cars.

Yes, but there's a bit of rewiring involved as the plugs are different between models. -
You'd be surprised at what amount of deflection you do get at the top of the tyre. I checked all this out with Andrew at ROH Adelaide when we were looking at a 19x10 rim on an XD. His technical findings were the lower the side wall ratio the less deflection you'll get at the top.XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this -
I'd be worried if it was a 60 or 70 series, unless you're throwing it around a race track you'll be ok. -
You can get a top quality job using even the most basic brands of paints these days.
I used Protec for years and managed to get a great finish colour sanding with 800, 1500 and 2000 respectively. I used Juice polish and wax to get this kind of finish on an XD ESP Ghia.

Welding it up again is your only choice. -
Why are my ears fucking burning again, I'm a pastry chef, what the fuck would I know about shit like this? lol
Pain in the arse spot because there's so much factory sealer in that corner. You're going to need to wire wheel it all out and see what is happening there. If you find a crack in the steel, weld it up, if it's just the sealer whack some more in. Painting will be happening.
Mark, it's spelt "furry" not fury, change your sig fella. And it's breaker one nine, did you never watch Convoy in your earlier years.

The XF ones aren't the best either lads, they pinch together at the leading edge of the bonnet and are a bitch to get the align at the sills. Never tried the XE ones so can't comment on those. -
Have been told a gutted BBM manifold is good for turbo applications Nath.
Method: unbolt the manifold halves and cut all the internals out so it's one big chamber.

You rang?
Never heard of him Banno, the only Pool I know is Ian, legend wheel aligner who retired long ago.

As you've said,take the tyre off and run a bead of polyurethane around the inside join of the rim.Trev Vaa and slydog reacted to this
