Hey all ,, would anyone have a pic or link to the type of clips that hold the splash guards that are behind the zl/fe ltd headlights ,?

Righto ,, sourced a power window repair kit ,, gear and three rollers ,, now i know i read somewhere there is a catch to disassembly of everything ,, ie something that can take a finger off ,,? any tips ,,

Forewarned is forearmed . Cheers again bear

Does it matter which one ,? Ie springs/swings one way in particular ,?

That'd be champion bear ,, knew someone had said about them .

Look abit like my chicanes ,!

ignore " most " of the ancillaries ,, could/should be a lot neater ,,

Thinking on buying my boss's stretch tasbash zl fairlane ,, has same motor converted to carb in it ,, fits well with the xf style heater box . Ill grab some pix tomorrow when im at work .

Anyone have a link to someone who stocks the tail pipe in 2.5 for xf/fe ltd ,? Drawing up blanks everywhere

Yeh , bloke in moonah " hobart suburb" said he'd bend one up seeing its hard to sorce now ,, and the mid pipe , with my muffler , brackets /clamps and tip fitted for $360 .

Redbacks site is only interested in ba/fg or ranger by the look of it . Two places i rang in hobart said that they had trouble finding one in stock or even being produced anymore .

First up ,, i have read the supercharger v's turbo thread ,, and dont want to get into that debate . But has someone on here used/using this setup ,, http://www.aussiespeedshop.com/product/ford-250-crossflow-alloy-head-supercharger-kit http://www.aussiespeedshop.com/product/rebuilt-142-weiand-satin-finish-supercharger if so ,, what else is needed on a stock motor to use it , ie , head work ,,, valve springs , roller rockers ,, decomp plate or pistons cam ,, solid lifters or hydrolic ignition system fuel system carb ,,, vac secondarys or mech and what size ,,? 450 ,,? http://www.aussiespeedshop.com/product/quick-fuel-450-polished-vacuum-secondry-4-barrel-carb decent extractors , exhaust ,, also ,. What would need doing to swap back from an efi car/ motor , to run carb instead ,? " just full of questions huh ,? "

If we all had and did the same thing ,, it'd be a boring world .

As i was interested to see if someone would pipe up that has done such a kit ,,, With answers to the clear questions i asked . Tips , parts needed etc etc . and curiosity to see how long before turbo would be mentioned

And straight to turbo before even pg 2

Thats exactly the direction i was going with the question , have heard of pushrods being bent trying to fight against valve spring tension . Ive always done rockers up by winding over to get the cam lobe away from the lifter on each available cylinder

How about doing rocker arms up tho ,,?

Never seen those " cover's " on the rear door windows before .

Should check the O ring in the first and reverse servo pot , whilst its open .

Few drops of oil in the cylinders ,, see if compression reading changes

Does your gear lever " shunt " about when you press on the pedal ,,? Motor mounts , gearbox mount ,, as above

Has new control arms on the diff all round ,, new shocks and rubbers ,," did it before all the new gear went in it . " Just some times coming down from say 20 kph to stand still in mingling traffic ,, and only every now and again , like weeks apart ,, it will do it . Real rythmic clonk clonk clonk noise with what feels like a sort of hopping feel ,, like when you see a full locker diff doing a U turn feel . Odd .. will replace the uni joint ,,see if its that . cheers blokes

Wierd feeling / noise coming from the LTD diff a clonking noise and sort of binding/ hopping feeling is coming from the right side when decelerating . Only happens some times " ie rarely" ,, when in a straight line . Wtf ,,? The lsd locking/unlocking ,,???
