Re: Introduce myself
Aloha guys,
Sorry for not posting anything for a long time. I’ve been picking up parts and working on Helen a little at a time when the sun is shining. We had a lot of rain this year. I welded in the shock tower braces and the lower control arm adjustable shims. Replaced the clutch pedal bushing with the roller bearings, installed the master cylinder and combination valve and I splatter painted the underside of the hood and engine compartment(old school). I’ll try to send some pictures.
Mahalo guys, Eddie

Re: Introduce myself
I cut out the rusted floor section and now I need to weld in the new section. I will be working on installing the line-lock and finishing up on the brake lines. Following that will be the front end suspension. Pictures to follow.
Thanks, Eddie from Hawaii

Re: Introduce myself
There are several threads in Driveline on brakes, spindles etc.
IMO, get a Kelsey/Hayes 1966 GT 350 Mustang knock off disc brake kit. It bolts onto your V8 spindles (they are same as early Mustang), 15/16" dual master amd an adjustable proportioning. No power assist needed. Several here have gone that route.

Re: Introduce myself
Aloha all,
I did order the Kelsey/ Hayes disc brake conversion for our ride. Thank you guys for all the tech information. I was also thinking about a hydraulic clutch and would like more information if someone is running one on their 4 speed T-10 Borg Warner. Thanks again!

Eddie,
Are you running the early B-1 or H-1 tranny? Just curious.
Thanks

Re: Introduce myself
Joe,
With the headers, the spark plug wires you use on the plug side is a straight or 45 degree?
Thanks Ed
