Those 2 7/16 nuts hold the guts together. there shoulb be 2 bolts that slide up from under the collar with square heads that fit into recesses. Might need to locate a diagram

on my 62 the clip comes out THROUGH the door jamb. You have to pry up the weatherstripping and you'll see the tab...pry it back with a flat tip screwdriver, and it will come out

I appreciate the advice...a little lube on the hinges and it gets better. I'll keep y'all updated

Thank you Pop,
I may give it a try. I've got some masonite left over from another door project.

Greetings all... I know I don't post much, but since I've got the wife's 62 back in the garage, it should be full steam ahead!!! I've a question for you and hope for some guidance... I've installed 63 hood hinges on the 62 and am getting alot of flex out of the 62 hood. How do I combat this? Is ther...

Mike...I used NiCop for all mine...was not as much as, and easier to work with than the stainless. And it's good lookin' to boot!

After many years of "rebuilding" old wiring harnesses I tried a cheap generic kit (Easy Wire) and will NEVER do that again. Converting anything Chevy to Ford was a year long nightmare. For good results I found the Ron Francis WR-75 RETRO SERIES Ford Powered Wiring Kit for $300 https://www.ronfrancis...

Mike...what year is you engine.... single or dual bell pattern... what bell housing are you using... these will determine where to start. I have paired a 69 dual pattern 200, 69 flat fly wheel, with a 67 bell, cj pony T5 adapter, a 81 fairmont 9 inch diaphram clutch set, and a mustang steve cable fo...

Wow...what a find...if you go to the site off that page, there is alot of good DIY info.

Thanx for posting!

S10 T5 bell housing bolts are NOT same pattern as the Ford T5, jst the case and tail. if doing it on the cheap...a WC T5 S10 tail shorter shift shaft (and shift rail) will and can be used with a WC Ford T5. The S10 speedo location/gear took alot of work If you want to go new/not so cheap...Modern dr...

I stand corrected. from the manual, it looks like there is an adjustment screw...I need a better manual!

Made some progress on "DD" today. Dropped in the 200 with the flywheel and clutch mounted up., cut out the rusty spots on the floor, and re-assembled the T5 after drilling and tapping the bell to fit the pivot for the clutch fork. Next up...installing the T5 and clutch cable Then finishing the floor...

Correct..no adjuster in a 62

Most awesome ... As cheap as you can get them for of course. I can go up to $100 for the set without breaking open the piggy bank and am really in no hurry as the car is still in pieces in the garage. Just holler when and if you do grab them...Thank you

Mike

Mike...any chance you are headed back to that yard I'm still on the hunt for a set of 62 compatible headlight buckets. I have all the trim rings, but have yet to find any buckets in useable condition.
