T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / Chuck W rear shock mounts, new
Everyone, I also remembered that I had a pair of Chuck's rear lower shock mounts hanging around that didn't make it onto my 88 TC before it got sold.  These are still new in the package.

Not sure what the going rate is on these, is $55 shipped reasonable?

I'm located in Caledon Ontario Canada, just outside of Toronto. Shipment would be by postal service.  Please send a p.m. if interested.


thanks,
Ed

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / FS: 87-88 TC body parts
Hey everyone


Been awhile since I've posted on here, last spring I'd sold my 88 TC to a nice guy down in the Cleveland Ohio area who was looking for a clean one.

Anyway, the previous owner to me had passed along some body parts from a rusty TC that he had parted out, and the new owner was not interested in taking them.  So I have front and rear bumper covers, the headlight header panel, and two doors (which are rusty but have the glass and all the guts in them), along with grey interior door panels.  I'd like to free up some space in my storage area, this stuff can all go for $100. 

The kicker is that it's obviously not worth it to ship this bulky stuff anywhere, so you would have to come get it, or I could possibly meet within an hour's drive.  I'm located in Caledon Ontario, which is about 45 min NW of Toronto.

Figured that I would give any Fox Bird owners in southern Ontario / Western New York first shot at this stuff before it gets advertised on kijiji.  Please send me a p.m. if you are interested in these pieces.


thanks,
Ed N.

Suspension/Steering / Mark VII Front Brakes
If you use 87-93 5.0 Mustang spindles, you can put Mark VII rotors and calipers on those (or even just rotors) to accomplish the 5-lug conversion ... both use the 10.9" hub & rotor.  As mentioned, some wheels will not clear the large bearing snout of that style of rotor which can limit your choices.

Drivetrain Tech / How to correct speedo after changing to 3.73 on '88 Cougar
The "aftermarket" 23 tooth speedo gears are just a Jeep part, you can order one from the Chrysler dealer as part number J3167393.  The issue with the 23 tooth version is that the teeth are very fine because of trying to fit so many on such a small plastic gear ... many people experience premature wear on them.  Upside is, not a lot of money to replace one if it does happen.

Whereabouts in Ontario are you?  I live in Caledon, and am a parts guy at the dealer in Waterloo.  Most of the speedo gears are still available to order from Ford at a reasonable price.  Shoot me a p.m. if I can help.

That's a great looking cat, the Saleen style wheels look at home on there.

Show Photos / The Ghost of Racetracks Past.....
Cool, didn't realize that anything of it still existed ... thought that it had all been done over and developed for residential buildings.
