Re: Diff ratio help

If you're on say 3.23 or 3.25 or whatever stock is and it feels sluggish, I don't think 3.5 is going to feel that much different.

Good point... I’ll check the ratio...

And where do I get new gears from?

Re: These windscreens any good?

I bought the front screen and the 7 piece kit from them. You have to pick up the front screen and rest is delivered. All fitted well, the screen guy said the front and rear was a great fit and had the correct etching on them..

Re: 66 steering set up with rack and pinion

Thanks Kerry,
I spoke to a few, who seemed a bit vague, the guy I booked it into seemed knowledgeable. It’s hard to find old school mechanics, that know anything about these old cars. I’ve learnt more from you and the rest of the guys from this forum than any other, so called professional.

Re: Welding vs bonding

Pictures is one of the products I use. Fairly expensive (especially the gun) if you were doing a one off job. I use Sika 252 on whole panels but not in the instance you are looking at (part panel replacement), depends on the job. Filling a sunroof hole is not something for an amateur, you can destr...

Re: Welding vs bonding

Are you seriously discussing a Holdon repair in this forum? Shame. shame, shame. That's got to be a banning! Only one way out of this for a Phoenix reviver like yourself. Repair the roof using a Mustang roof panel, that'll give it some class.. :thumbs: . I said the same thing, I don’t work on Holde...
