I have done business with these Mustang suppliers with good results. I was working on restoring my wifes' 65 but they do have parts for modern Stangs also.

Filler cap is manual.  As I understand it all four buttons are programable hence labeled 1-4 rather than specific tasks etched on them.  you could use 1 button to lock and unlock if you wanted...

Sounds like what I found when I pulled mine.  In original wiring form, they were side/running lights and indicators.  

Beware - there are 2 different forms of the dual filament orange bulb, the posts are in different places.  I got the wrong ones for my, and although I did manage to force them in, they don't work the same.

yup, they are 12  / 21 watt

the 12w is the origional (amber) side light, and 21 is the indicator

interestingly, there is a black box on the jap spec cars that turns the side light off while the indicator is flashing, so instead of flashing bright dim bright dim, it flashes bright off bright off, then the side light comes back on a couple of seconds after the indicator is switched off

Yeah and i really worry about the legality of these tbh - hence why i disconnected mine and my mates...would suggest you do yours mate!



i checked it out, and the answer is simple, but an un nesicary PITA to impliment....

you can have amber running lights, provided they are suplimented with white side lights. if these running lights are in the indicstor, there is no specific law that says they cant be turned off while the indicator is flashing, to give a more definate flash..

unfortunaltey, to tap straight off the running light and add a white side light, would mean that the side light would also extinguish as the indicator flashed... thats a no no


easiest legal answer is to disconnect the box, and to splice into the running light wire, and add a white side light in the headlight.

this will come on as side lights and running lights together (legal) but the downside is that you get the bright dim bright dim indicator rather than the on off on off that the box provides..

this is exactly as my camaro was wired, and is letter of the law legal.. this is what i will do with the mustang..

to avoid drilling the headlights though, i' gonna check the legeslation for side light heights, and if possible fit them in the blanking plates where fog lights would sit if it had them.

V-power TR55-1 part# 2683
Platinum TR55-1GP part# 7159
Iridium TR55-1IX part# 7316

should be able to get these from any motor serv place might have to buy a box of 10 though unless the cross reference to a UK car. Would definatly ring around before going to usless automotive

Where does the air come in from now?
A cone filter in the engine bay is a hot air intake.
Anything which ducts the air in from outside the engine bay is cold air.

Other than that, it just depends how shiny you want it.

i've always found usless automotive to excell at one thing; service items..

spak plugs are normaly hella cheap from them, a set for the camaro worked out at just over £2 per plug, and somehow they are able to sell oil filters cheaper than pep boys or autozone in the US!

very few places will stock US spark plugs, as they are generaly the tiny ones, that dont fit anything european or jap.

just not worth the effort on something that small... HOWEVER... offer to chip the guy an extra $10 and they might make an exception, simply because its more than its going to cost them..

I drilled a hole, then filed two notches out to accept the original bulb holders . . . The plastic on the new ones is thinner (no surprise) so the "O" ring seal doesn't seal as good - but it's as good as it's gonna get.

I'd just be wary (sp) of the back spaces.

Late Yank motors got more "European" in there wheel back-spaces . . . that is they steered away from the "deep dish" type of rims and increased the axle width . . going (generally) from negative to positive backspacing.

WHEEL 05 MUSTANG V6 STYLE 17 X 9 BLACK 94/04
05 Mustang V6 Style Wheel, 17" x 9", Black for 1994-2004 Mustang.

One of the greatest styling cues on the '05 Mustang came from the V6. These large Halibrand-style wheel fits 94-04 Mustang & 79-93 with 5-lug conversion. Black center cap with silver pinstripes is included. The factory correct cap will fit this wheel.

Specifications:
- +24mm offset
- 5-Lug
- 5 x 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern.


Kinda Suggests the wheels are the same 94-04
Title: Incursus's Mustang
Post by: Roadkill on May 24, 2007, 03:17:07 pm
One thing the auction doesn't say is the rim width.

I'd guess it was 8" - which means 1" wider then yours.

If the offset from the centre line is the same that mean they'd be 1/2" closer to the inside the the body and would stick out 1/2" more.

That said if it was an issue a 6mm spacer would solve that . . .

Although spacing it if the offset is correct will put the steering geometry out.... If the center offset is the same then it's best not to space it from that point of view...

not tried it yet, but did fine on the bumps in brackley.


quite surprised by the ride. sudden bumps ie pot holes, drains etc are dealt with less harshly than the stock setup, but  due to less travel you notice the bigger humps and dips in the road more.

Cornering is much better as well (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/up.gif)

i think the drop is just a bit too much for me.. if i could find something thats half way between stock and chris's it would be perfect..

the exhaust however is 100% spot on what i'd want, quiet idle, with a gorgeous mellow but notable deep tone when revved..

has to rate as one of the most agreeable tones i've heard in a LONG time, it actually sounds expensive!!! like something that should come from an aston martin or maserati!

the long thready bits are in the wrong position but fortunately reasonably adjustable so managed jimmy them in and the indicator bulbs don't fit properly...at all really.  dunno how they could possibly get it that wrong!

and I need to take the fastening off the old ones so that I can adjust the beam height. (just sort of shoved in there atm cos it was pissing it down).

why is nothing ever easy?

bit hacked off really. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/sad.gif)

As some of you already know the Mustang failed its MOT on Friday (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/down.gif)

Just minor stuff really the Front Brake pads were a little low
and of course failed on the headlights as expected.

Loose but thats easy to fix and beam pointing in the wrong direction...up. Not so easy as there is no adjustment.

Fixed the brakes no problem.

Has anyone got a set of original Mustang headlights kicking around?  
I have a set of sidelights but in a moment of madness chucked the headlights.

The stock spoilers look good and it would certainly suit your Mussie as you've 'done' everything else to it - I think it is kinda lacking a spoiler.

I can't see the pics, but as I say - if it's stock - it'll be fine.

Worst case if you get it here, offer it up and decide otherwise you're sure to sell it on for what you paid for it - maybe more.

Question on brakes.

Need new disks as mine are a little warped.

Going for EBC ones as price is reasonable.

As I have to get pads (annoying as the ones I have are only a few months old) I was looking at the EBC red stuff pads

about £20 more than The cheapy no name brand but are they worth it?

Yeah green is lighter vehicles sub 200bhp.  kit cars etc.
I'm not over 200bhp but she weighs a fair amount. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

i'm right on the edge of what greens can do, but they to work well on mine, but i've got the benefit of mach larger brakes than the stang, stopping a slightly lighter car. so lower brake temps in general

315mm disks, brembo 4 pots stopping 1495kg with 220 bhp.

Small update.

Discs were changed a few weeks ago.  Much better!  The car doesn't try and shake its self apart when I brake now!

This week the Badge decals turned up so fitted that,  did an oil change and finally got round to replacing the 02 sensor (cheers Titsy for helping with that)

Gonna clean the air filter today and bake a cake.

Update

Well as some may know the Mustang failed its MOT last week.
The cursed headlights strike again!!  Fortunately I had already ordered a stock set from the states on order to refurbish my aftermarket ones.
So fitted those last night (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/wink.gif)
They actually don't look so bad without the cataracts...

Also failed on not having a rear fog light....I disconnected that five years ago (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/confused.gif)
I preferred to have it as the 3rd brake light.

Anyway I reconnected it and shoved some diodes in there, so that I could have it as a fog light while still keeping it as a brake light (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/cool.gif)

Retest at 16:00  (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/crossed.gif)


Next purchase will be some front fog lights.  I had a look and the connectors are there for the lights the GT version gets.  So in theory will be easy peasy to fit (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/up.gif)
Also if I decide to keep the stock lights, some white/clear indicator housings as I don't like the orange bits and they are a little cataract.

Also, finally getting the front and rear bumper repaired next week.

She's been good to me for six years now it's about time she got some TLC. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/hug.gif)

Keeping my eye out for a late 90's early 00's Mustang, Camaro or Trans-am..  Any of those would do but I think I'd prefer the Trans-am or Mustang (facelift version of mine). 
All going well I should have around £6k to play with by the tail end of the season.   Maybe a bit more but it depends what I get for the Stang and Mondeo..

I'm surprised you're not looking at something older and more interesting - 60's/70's ? - as you've got the space and will have a company car . . . seems logical to me.

The Mustangs are fine and are sensible but any yank I've driven built during or after the mid-nineties has really lacked any . . . . soul ? . . . Like the majority of cars built during or after the mid-nineties, I suppose . . . Look great, perform well but lack anything else.

Sorry Incursus, but I have to agree.  :yup:

You like what you like and cannot help that (I mean look at me with old crappy VW Buses), so if that era of Mustangs really give you a chubby, then awesome, if it makes you happy, go for it.  :cowboy:

However, as RK says, if it is something American you want, that has power and is fairly unique on the road, there must be other vehicles you would consider?  :pass:

None of my business of course, but I would be interested to know what it is with that model that you like?

I see what you're saying, and my wife agrees with you guys, but the issue I have, aside from the cost of a late 60's early 70's Mopar (full on chubby mode engaged) is it just won't fit in the garage, even empty the mustang will just about fit.. even that may need a roller shutter.. (operation garage clear out is scheduled for this summer, need to build/buy a large shed first.)

So long term, yes a garage extension and a classic Mopar is the plan but in the short term I want some V8 action that won't rust.. Doesn't have to be a Mustang either.

Okay, not a V8, but it is small (for a Truck):

I can sell you the best V8 4th gen Z28 Camaro with the best history of any car you will ever find, along with an actual shed full of spares Inc F Body Z28 reg for £8K. She just doesn't get driven enough and I need the space for my current project.

I doubt that he lying! It would be like having a new one...    :polish:

I guess it would also fit into a normal garage.

Almost tempting but couldn't do it justice, also a little over what I would want to spend on a "modern" yank. £6k would pretty much be my limit.

Nope, a smidge over 16' according to Wikipedia..  :NEW_shame:

Can't say I'm a fan of Corvettes unless they are the 50's ones, but for size and practicality would be a good choice, we had to consider garage size too.

C3's are good . . . . as long as it's a early chrome-bumper version.  The later ones are alright but a bit more plastic looking.

They do suffer from rust to the frames and cockpit cage (which is near impossible to fix, apparently) but generally the mechanics and electrics are pretty simple and straight forward.

Although a big-block, 4-speed would be cool, I reckon that'd more like £20k, so look for a nice, simple 350 auto.

Bah, nothing is impossible, perhaps a lot of work, but not impossible!  :mechanic2: A good point worth noting if you are going to view any C3s though.  :thumbsup:

I've put the Mustang to bed for the Winter, also treated her to a new battery as couldn't get enough charge in it to start her for the short journey into the garage, been nursing it all year to be fair.  This one actually fits as well!

On the plus side fits with plenty of space. :up:  I will give her a quick wash :polish: tomorrow and turn her around so that she's nose to the door, in case there's any issues starting in the spring.

  • Small American
  • V8
  • Lowish Purchase Cost

What can we find?   :chiny:  :ebayanim:

Find anything yet? :wink:

Keep changing my mind but now thinking to keep the Mustang another year or so and keep saving for a dream car.. Ideally a 70-74 Plymouth Barracuda as it will fit in the garage.  Either that or one of Roadkill's "20 ways to extend a garage".. 😁

Though if a really tasty A-Body turns up I could also be tempted with that..

Feeling guilty..think I've only opened the garage door once since she went in...
Off work next week so hope to have her out and ready to tax and test for the new season.
Hope the new battery survived the neglect..

Just can't believe how quickly the last 6 months have passed!

Well I took her out for a quick spin on Sunday and she's not firing on all cylinders (yes I know there were already 2 missing 😋).
Not changed the leads for 6-7 years and not changed the plugs since the first major service, not long after buying her..so I'll start there

Sounds like a good starting point, here's hoping it solves the issue.

Yeah used them for the camaro - have a look around as usual a 5-10% discount code somewhere!

Make sure you have a play with quantities and different makes as this really does have a big effect on shipping costs!
