FIXED! The Braking problem is no more!!!

Reply #30
Hmmmm...my car was manufactured in 4/87...so does this mean I can only use the Acspoogeulators off of 87 Turbos or Pre-88 Mark VII's? The Mn-12 Thunderbird's are not an option?

Speaking of new...yes, I was looking for them. I found a dealership in Michigan that sells them for $200...you know of any other places I could get one?

Yeah, I was hoping TurboCoupe50 might know of some place I could get one...cheaper than $200 anyway.

Yup you got it... Well a before 8-'87 '88 LSC should work, I doubt there were any '88 TCs built before that date...

Ok guys, I need a little more help before I undertake this adventure. I received an Acspoogeulator from someone over at NATO. They purchased it from some Brake place in Texas called "Prior".

However, it appears different from the stock acspoogeulator and has no Hex opening at the top, meaning I have no idea how I'm going to tighten it, if it even fits.

Apparently it is to be tightened by the nut just above the threads...

Is there a opening at all in the top? You pix is a bit blurry(got a macro setting on that camera??).. Almost looks like it would take a Torx bit...

No Macro, No opening....However......



PLUS...


NO LIGHTS+WORKING ANTI-LOCKS=HAPPY DMC24guy.

It worked! Something I actually did worked! The brakes work fine. The Anti-Locks work now, the lights don't come on, and I was actually able to get the thing to fit in there with my hands. No leaks detected thus far. Best part, new selling point!

Maybe you could get a small oil filter wrench on it????

Tried it, but wasn't enough room to turn the thing. I got a good grip on it with my hands, and tightened as hard as I could, and as far as I could see, there weren't any leaks. But hey, there weren't any explosions or jet sprays of Brake Fluid, so everything is good.

I take back my earlier comments about doing things the 'easy way'.  Couldn't have been much easier than the way you did it.

So you are still getting rid of this one though?

Yes, If I can. If I can find a good sport or xr-7, I'll do it.

Glad to hear you got that fixed.  Sorry if I came off with a you can't do it attitude.  But why are you selling this one?  You are just starting to get it pieced together again and in pretty decent shape.  I've been checking craigslist a lot, and 87-88 birds are scarce in good condition.
