    Hey guys, 

    Does anyone remember what kind of flare is on the end of the hardline which connects to the "chassis to axle" brake hose?

     

    I went to ABS and bought a brake line adaptor MF121-10-03 and its 10mm male to suit an E series brake hose, but the female side seems to suit a double flared hard line.

     

    Does the XF hardline have a bubble type flare or double (cone) type flare? Have they given me the wrong fitting?

    I got my blaster3 for 60 bux, so 90 is a bit steep. I replaced my leaking stock coil with one and its working fine. The only thing is, they dont fit in the standard crossflow coil bracket, I had to make one up.

    Hey guys, need to know what my tailshaft is out of, Diff is off an DC LTD(apparently) but not sure about the tailshaft. I believe it is steel and has a flange type on the pinion end. Are the lengths the same? The LTD being a LWB car, would it be longer?

     

    Wanting to know so i can get new unis for it, Part numbers are different for DC and ED.

     

    Thanks

    9/16UNF from memory. You dont actually need an installer, what i did was get a bolt from an engineering shop which is a bit longer than the original and wind it down with that. If theres an unthreaded section on the shank of the bolt, be careful not wind the bolt too deep and force the unthreaded section into the threaded section of the crank. Then use your original bolt and drive it home.

    Hey guys

     

    Bought a set of slotted and dimpled RDA rotors (since they've dropped their slotted only range) to suit an ED diff, and the countersunk hole for the locating screw is drilled too deep. I run out of thread before the rotor is properly secured onto the axle flange. Done all the way up, the rotor will still wobble so its clearly an issue. Part number RDA111B. Anyone else have this issue? just a bad batch?

    Hey guys

     

    Something thats been happening recently, when slowing to a stop at low speed, clutch engaged and transmission in neutral. I've been getting a vibration through the body of the car. It doesnt happen often, pretty rarely actually but it'll get your attention when it occurs. I've also noticed an occasional rubbing noise when taking off from the lights, almost like a high spot on the rotor since sometimes it happens once or twice, like the pads are hitting a high spot on the rotor. The two might be related, i don't know. Im running XF brakes in the rear but will probably be switching to an ED diff setup in the near future.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Brake related work over the past year:

     

    All calipers recoed, new slotted rotors, new pads, new hoses, new master cylinder, new fluid

    Hey guys,

     

    Noticed oil being thrown off the front of the motor, suspect its being thrown off the harmonic balancer meaning im down for a front main seal. Are these hard to replace? Anything i should look out for?

     

    thanks

    its pretty easy, the legs slide under the window rubber from the inside. There are holes in the venetian that you can stick a screwdriver in and wedge it in a way that both pushes the venetian against the window and drives the legs upwards and under the rubber. Its hard to describe.

     

    Your parcel shelf is custom so theres no way for anyone to know if it will interfere or not. if anything, just make a new parcel shelf to accommodate

     

    I have a white one in mine and its hard to put it in without scratching the paint because it is a tight maneuver to get it into position
