Re: Front sway bar

So if I order a 65/66 mustang sway bar it will just bolt up to my 65 comet yes??

And I was going to go 1" but now i'll go bigger :)

cheers!

Of course I could be wrong. :lol:
Still just on the bench I wrenched it. If I can go another gun-turret or two on the castle nut I think I can get the cotter pin in :)

I'll put it in the vise later and crank it some more.

The last pic looks about right if you have not tried to tighten it yet . after it's torqued down it should come on up some.
Ok. I thought that might be the case.....CHEERS!

large bearing spindle - outer tie rods

Hi team, Shown in the pics below are some moog tie rod ends that are suppose to be 69 to 73 mustang. And also i'm showing two spindles.......left is a C8 (for comparison) and the right is a D1ZA. The tie rod will not fit the C8 at all, but only goes part way on the D1ZA, doesn't seem to go enough to...

Re: Buckets for 65?

good thing it has the tracks ,they are hard to find. the outer mounts same as a bench seat holes. on bucket seat cars the inner rear mount came from the factory with just a spacer . so use what ever you decide for the spacer. My 65 already had the holes but had been brazed up. it kinda seemed like ...

Re: Buckets for 65?

Unfortunately they aren't in my hands yet. The guy is going to let me know :cry: If it doesn't work out, something else will come along. I love the old T-Bird seats but they're probably getting hard to find. Had chrome frame around the bolsters. Had a green pair in a black Mustang long time ago :mr...

It can only go together one way, the sector shaft and the tie rod hole are tapered.

Very true. I see that now.

As far as the ball joint in the idler arm.........I assume I have to tighten the castle nut until the center link is tight against that?

pitman on top?

Hi all,

Does this look correct?

The rod end of the pitman arm goes on top of the center link if manual steering and using the correct center link for a 65 comet/falcon?
Because if I compare it to a 67 mustang I have here, the pitman goes underneath on that one.

Re: 65 going to try spindles from a 71 mustang

Finally got my shipment from OpentrackRacing.

I didn't know the pitman arm ( rod end ) was tapered.
Best way to learn is to have these things in your hand.

At least it took the guesswork out of which way the pitman sits.
