Hi, I am needing a XD/XE V8 S pak instrument cluster wiring loom, which plugs into the cluster, white circle plugs i think...if anyone could help thanks, or supply wiring diagram to know what each pin on the back of the cluster is for...cheers

Looking for the correct Upper and Lower Alternator Bracket Bolt's as XF Ute has had so many variety of Fastener's for quick That'l do fixes with whatever was at there disposal.Just trying to correct all bolt's/clips & screw's.  Yes i am getting a new Tension Bracket.

Just need some verification on the Rocker/Valve cover bolts , Need to replace them with new as some have worn round head's These are my pick . https://www.bolt.com.au/shop/fasteners-14-20-unc-x-12-high-tensile-steel-grade-5-plain-hex-head-bolt/

it probably will work like new for ages now. i submerged an XG mech (same as e series) in petrol and swished it around, was absolutely caked in dusty grease.  worked mint afterwards. 
i'd just spray it with WD40 or similar and it's probably good for another 10+ years if it's working fine now.   

The mechanism was dirt as Fk , so took it out to clean and install new spring.after a good clean noticed the wear and will keep a eye out for a better/newer one ,Working like new at the moment ,But know that wont last.

at least you can get them now.
back when i was playing with this old stuff, it was off to the wreckers for a whole lock mech.. with ford parts saying NLA (no longer available) for anything you ever wanted.  (plus side back then, you could buy a whole car for $500 or less and get 3 or 4 of those springs and a host of other spare parts)

Thought this was the case..After checking passenger side mechanism i discovered me spring gauge was too thick and impossible to get it to fit. squashed the spring in vice grips and forced it in and now it works. My Dickheadness for getting the wrong spring.  

there's a hole either side in a gap,  it just needs to have one of the spring parts in each side.. bit of a fiddle to get it in there. 

found a photo of it on ebay. edited it to show where it goes.   

Cant see which way the spring gets installed in that video ! Have tried to install and no luck.

Forgot i had this  tonneau cover that was given to me too pay for helping out a recovering and delivering a crashed motorbike some 3 - 4 year's ago , don't fit my ute. Any one need it ?
