Last week clutch linkage broke on the street. Problem was pin holding clutch equalizer bar to bottom of the Z bar failed so clutch equalizer bar worked off Z bar and fell out. Found the bar and fixed the problem with a bailing wire to drive home. Would like to make the repair correctly. What is the correct pin and washer? and/or bushing? used to secure end of clutch equalizer bar to bottom of th Z bar on a '65 K?

Thanks, Steve

Also for Midwestern guys, I think Elkhart Lake WI Road America vintage weekend 9-14/16-07 featured make is Mustang?

Kevin at KAR rebuilt my '65 K-code convert about 5 yrs ago. It was a major job and he did a great job. I have driven the regularly since with no problems. You can see photos of my car restoration on their web site http://www.karmustang.com.

Good Luck, Steve

I would try the K.A.R. web site. They might have one. If not, if you call and ask for Kevin Roberts he would probably know where to get one.

Thanks for the helpful responses.

I think will get a couple of helpers and disassemble the lift.

I know an electrician who can wire it at my new home.

Take Care, Steve

We have recently moved.

I would like to take my M80 Autolifter lift w/ me. I was not involved in the installation process.

Has anyone installed their own lift?

How many guys are required to safely disassemlbe the lift and load it on to a truck? I don't have access to a bobcat or similar equipment.

Also Autolifters went BK. I assume they are still out of business?

Thanks, Steve

In the summer a plastic jug of water.

And I keep my spare bulbs in the glove box, so I will be able to find and use them if needed. No fun driving around with a brake light out.

I have a fuel safe fuel cell in my 65'k and I had one in '66 6 banger that I sold. I wound up with fuel safe thanks to 60 Minutes. Anyway,

the fuel safe unit is a metal box shaped kinda like the standard gas tank. The gas bladder fits inside the box.

The box fit into the trunk with out much problem. But there are other steps which require some work.

My unit is an older version. Some features may be improved on newer units.

On my fuel safe the fuel and vent lines are on the top of the tank. I had to run these lines out under the car through the hole in the trunk floor this required some drilling.

The sending gauge unit is also on top of the tank so you need to wire that too.

This was a little tricky because the sending unit needs a constant voltage? which I guess an old mustang does not have so you have to do some new wiring under the dash with parts purchased at your local Radio Shack. I needed to take the dash out to do this. Fuel safe may have a new plan for this by now.

My fuel safe cell has worked well but I have had trouble getting the sending unit accurately calibrated. Steve

No question a beautiful car.

I'm curious though, export brace but no convertible braces. My car built in May'65 has convertible braces. I always assumed they were original. When were convertible braces 1st introduced?

My other question is can you, or would you even want to have convertible braces with an export brace?

Thanks, Steve
