the handbrakes only differ due to the EF having the hand brake mounted next to the console from memory. 

the only one i remember seeing the person cut the cables about where the back of the fronts seats would be and joined there with cable joiners. you'll soon see what's needed once you mount it up as much as you can

 

Yep considering the amount of modded cars i think a handbrake cable is the least hurdle to combat lol

if you can run the brake lines on the XE to how they are on the EF that's one way, or you can do them on the diff similar to the XE XF way also seen it done both ways, (no pics handy) and the EF lines on the XE looked easier

 

handbrake you'd be best getting a new one custom made, back in the day (20yrs ago) i was quotes $120 from ABS brakes to make one, these days you'd be surely double that if anyone has the brains to do it.

you can cut and join the cable with cable clamps and make a hybrid of the 2 in the short term and prove it works before getting the cable made up also. 

 

tailshaft will fit if it's a sedan XE and Sedan (not fairlane/LTD) EF (would be if XR6 sedan, not if wagon )

Driveshaft is xr6 sedan EF

Was thinking getting new brake lines made up and just attach front xe cable to ef cable hopefully it'll be all good 

Hi lads , got an EF XR6 3.45 and driveshaft, what needs doing to fit to xe, trailing arm bush to e series diff end, everything thing else should bolt in i was told, what can be done with handbrake as the whole brake system/calipers is way different to x series 

Will be run on 98 ULP

Discontinued long time ago.

 

If the crack is between the valves its not a major worry.

Its straight through where the head bung screw is, builder recommended i source another, he has one but needs welding repairs, guess ill try and source a C2 head cheers

Hi Gang,

Does anyone know of any places that have new 4.1ltr xflow alloy heads at all or is this never been a thing, mine unfortunately is cracked and i don't want to run the risk of buying multiple second hand ones but that maybe my only option

guess you use those breather holes to put oil in?

Yeah i thought that was the case, might try and case a good original one down and ad spacer

are you going to use the EFI one? that will need a spacer from memory. 

i thought the steel ones didn't need a spacer. 

 

Aussiespeed also make a rocker cover that probably doesn't need a spacer. https://www.aussiespeedshop.com/page/3/?s=crossflow

 

 

Stupid question how the fark do u do an oil change no oil cap on those ones im just curious 

Just now, deankdx said:

aussiespeed make a spacer if that's what you need to lift the rocker cover up (alloy one or i guess for the steel also if it's needed)  used to hear people using 2 gaskets back before that if it's needed. 

 

probably be other answers on the way if there's anything else out there. 

Probably going to need a new cover as well looks like mine has had a wrecking ball dropped on it lol

Hi guys, for those running roller rockers can u post the tappet cover on ya xflows , want an idea of what ppl have done

if you put them in a press and gently lever the locking pins one by one then release the press slowly it's a fairly easy job, I got onto a bloke in brassy that does them so i'll send it off and as it's been sandblasted i'll repaint myself here

ford xe mate, yeah I know PBR are now bosch but no kit is available, said it was a brake specialist thing, I did get onto a shop locally who sends them away but they wanted there cut of commission before they'd hand details over LOL, getting onto a shop in brassy hopefully they can help

went into repco who rang bosch, pbr no longer make kits and bosch do not stock any so how the fuck do they restore them obviously it's a brake shop thing now

Ok guys just sandblasted my brake booster which I believe is a PBR, i'm wanting to get a rebuild kit for it but where do I get one from seems near impossible, the number on the brake booster is VH39524F2D8

motor looks like a good buy sounded pretty good, no matter what you buy your always going to do something to it to improve it or to your liking anyways

turned out brilliant

decided to do a esp 2 tone grey lookalike for my jade green xe this is what ive come up with thoughts?

NO mate i'm going an EFI 393 now either from pavtek or Toca performance, I put the driveline as a last thing of build project

sweet ride mate and sounds great thumbs up

ahhh gotcha yeah mate very keen to see one

I've looked in the xe manual with doors and ive seen nothing about what your refering to jack but I am intrigue
