  • 66 plexi glass side windows

    Hi Fella's, my Kar a 66 Fastback has 66 GT350 plexi glass windows instead of the side vents. Is this a bolt in swap or does some cutting of the body need to be done to fit these type of windows in? I bought a set of vents a few years back so I could change it back if needed.


    So if and when I change it back to the vents is it as simple as bolting/ screwing it all back together or does some fabrication work need to be done?


    Thanks Eddie

  • 1966 GT K-Code F/B

    Hi Fella's, being an auto Kar I see it has the rebound rubber on the rebound plate(floor). Very close build date to my Kar which also has the rebound rubber mounted in this position.

    Cheers Eddie

  • New FAQ section

    Hi, I have given some possibilities as examples only. I accept the 5 speed/ AOD conversions is pushing it and should not be included.


    I will be rebuilding my engine later this year or next year. Where I live I can't just go to the local auto parts store to get K specific parts. The Ford dealers only do parts for local cars up to 10-15 years old, no old Falcon let alone Mustang parts.


    Myself like all the other overseas owners rely upon the internet/books and this site, to help choose the correct parts. For instance with con rod bolts I am hoping Fred has them available but to me they are a mystery- Summit don't list them, do Boss 302 bolts fit or do I take a chance and purchase 351 W square head bolts and hope these fit. I contacted ARP with this question and they didn't know the answer. The machine shop I use don't have the expertise with K engines and can't help either( It is tempting to use aftermarket rods because of the rod bolts).


    I have only put the suggestion out there as an idea and have no intention of stepping on anyones toes. My idea was for a quick members only reference guide with which specific parts are currently available, Part numbers of these parts to assist with ordering,maybe some contact details, company- persons name to help with enquiries. Quality of the parts as well, no use buying specific parts if they are not serviceable due to age etc.


    Regards Eddie

  • New FAQ section

    Hi everyone, This is just a suggestion, perhaps we could get a new forum section just for information regarding our Kars- F.A.Q section.

    Like what rocker arms fit under stock covers( I know this has been covered and just needs a quick search but maybe just a quick reference area for what fits- timing components best pistons/ bearings, 5 speed/ AOD conversions etc,what is still available and maybe production change dates to help all members( i.e. logged in to view section ) choose the right parts for their Kars.

    Regards Eddie
