Much appreciated !!

I have removed the cotter pin and the short shaft / pin through the center of the wheel / roller. My problem is that the cable is still attached to the main shaft that moves through the parking brake assembly ... how do I separate the cable?

Hello and Happy New Year to all, I want to replace the parking brake assembly, under the dash, on my 65 Mustang Coupe. I have removed the bracket bolts that attach it to the dash and the nuts that secure it to the firewall. I have also removed the wheel .... but I cannot see how to detach the...

Seeking final thoughts on the following ... before I press the 'order confirm' button. Do you think that the combo shown below will fit a 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe. 15X7 American Racing Torq. Thrust D Wheels ... all around Front 215/60 R 15 BFG Radial Tire Rear 225/60 R 15 BFG Radial Tire Would...

Thanks for the feedback RacerJames......I think that I'm going to pay them a visit. I've got a pretty good idea what I want, I just need a little expert advice to fine tune my selections....I'll let you know how I get on.

I am looking for advice on the same subject..... Looking to upgrade from 185/70R14's to 15" Torq Thrust D's. I have done a lot of research and measurements. At the front with 15 x 7 Torq. Thrust D's, -6 mm offset, I favor the 205/60R15 tire. This gives me about .5 inch clearance between the...

Thanks for the reply. I believe that the 15 x 7 Cragars have a different offset (3 mm) from the Torq Thrust D's (-6 mm). Do you have 225/15 or 235/15 at the back?

Hello Guys, I know that there is a wealth of information out there on wheels and tires for classic Mustangs. Too much information.....I've read most of it.....some of it conflicting. I've tried some of the major wheel and tire retailers and have been disappointed with the feedback...or lack of...

Sorry, I can't help you directly with your issue, but could you post your wheel and tire sizes front and rear, as I am looking for 15 inch wheel information for my '65 Coupe. Thanks in advance and good luck with your ride.

Thanks for the feedback TOS. I must admit that this process has been far more difficult than I could have imagined, there's a lot to think about. The so called 'experts' at some of the major tire retailers (shippers) have not been much help. You get the impression that they are more...

After many measurements I have determined that using 15" Torq Thrust D wheels, with -6mm offset: 225/60R15 front tires will not fit, the inner tire wall contacts the upper control arms. 215/60R15 front tires fit, but have only 3/16 - 1/4 inch clearance between the inner wall and the upper...

Hello Guys, I know that there is a wealth of information out there on wheels and tires for classic Mustangs. Too much information.....some of it conflicting. I've tried some of the major wheel and tire retailers and have been disappointed with the feedback...or lack of it. So, I am looking for...

All is right with the world. My new Scott Drake speedo from CJ Pony Parts, arrived and I installed in last weekend. It works !! I can only conclude that the other speedometer had been dropped / damaged. I did very carefully file the end of the speedo cable, to ensure that it slid into the...

Today I connected both the original speedometer and the new one to an electric drill. 1. The gearing for the original speedometer and the new one IS DIFFERENT. The original reads about 70 mph at max. drill revs. The new one reads 120+mph at the same drill speed. Clearly something is wrong...

The other thing that I've noticed is that it's almost as if the cable is too long. It's jammed into the speedometer and if difficult to remove. If it is too long and I continue to tighten the nut them I am pre loading whatever bearings are in the speedometer....I may shave a little off the...

Maybe I should try connecting both the speedometers to a Dremel or similar, constant speed, compare the readings on both speedos, see if the gearing is different.

The previous speedometer was working with the T5 application for a number of years.....before it went south. Does anyone know if there is any kind of adjustment on the speedo itself....I think not. I think my only option is to try another speedometer....

I have satisfied myself that the speedometer is a purley mechanical operation....so nothing electrical is wrong here. Seems very straightforward, All I have changed is the speedometer, no tire change, no rear end change, no speedometer driven gear change. It would appear that I have a bad...

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted anything......but I have a puzzle for anyone who knows something about speedometers. Background - I have a 65 Mustang Coupe, 302 V8, modern T5 manual transmission. Car was finished about 5 years ago, speedometer functioned fine for about 3 1/2 years...
