  • wanted : 3rd member yoke and shifter

    Hi Brian, I am trying to find out the same info on the the yoke for my Kar.


    Looking at Mustang 64 1/2- 70 Restoration Guide by Tom Corcoran & Earl Davis I think the yoke should be the type 2 listed on page 238 p.n .C3AZ-4851-L with a total yoke length of 5-1/16" which is about 130mm.


    I am awaiting some clarification on this matter myself and will post the results for you if I find out. In Adelaide it is alot harder to find another Kar to look at than in the USA.

    Cheers Zed

  • body stripping

    Hi fella's, just after some feedback on two types of body stripping. One is Media blasting and the other is an alkaline solution to remove rust and paint from a car [ in my case a 65 Aussie Futura coupe]. I am aware that media blasting can damage the panels dependant upon the media and operater. How about dropping the body into an alkaline solution? i.e http://minuspaint.com.au/ is the company I am thinking of using here in Adelaide. This system must be in use in the USA. Has anybody used this type of process before and what was the result? Successful or a disaster once the paint goes on. I have been told by a media blaster the solution leeches out and affects your paintwork later on from the seams.

    Any thoughts or experiences are much appreciated. Cheers Zed.

  • Rear axle housing

    Hi Guys, just hoping some one can clarify what type of rear axle housing should be in my Kar. My 66 has an actual build date of 5K13. The housing in my Kar is a 64/65 style housing. I think my Kar is near the transition date for the 66 style housing and I am wondering if it has been changed at some time or is it correct for my Kar?

    Thanks Zed

  • Metuchen axle housing transition date

    Hi, I would like to find out the transition date for the change in the rear axle housing type. I have an early 66 Kar- 65 11K build date Metuchen factory. I have searched on the forums and I think I need a 65 style housing due to a post I read but I think this is past the transition date.

    Kar nos. 6T09K119941, 6T09K125261,6T09K126780 and 6T09K127037 all have either a similar no. and / or build date to my Kar. If any of these owners could please contact me with their axle details I would be very appreciative.

    Cheers Eddie

  • rear axle date code and yoke type

    Thanks Bo, that has clarified the casting date issue for me. Somebody offered me a diff centre with a late June-case and early July pinion support casting date. I was a bit hesitant to purchase it with a casting date that far of from my build date.

    Thank you, Eddie

  • rear axle date code and yoke type

    Hi Fella's, somebody must have some idea about the diff yoke length, is it short or a long one for a K code? The date code should be some thing in the range of up to 90 days before the build date? If so how much of a variation is there for a Metucheun built Kar?

    Hope somebody can help,Thanks

  • rear axle date code and yoke type

    Hi, I'm after some info regarding diff centre date codes. My Kar is an 6511K build, actual 13K.

    What date code on the diff should I be looking for?

    Is the diff yoke a long or short yoke with a 1310 uni joint?

    My Kar has a 1330 uni driveshaft and diff yoke.

    Thanks for the help and advice, Eddie
