New to the forums - 1986 Cougar GS! Reply #15 – November 19, 2014, 04:41:26 PM Thanks again for the welcome and the comments! It looks like I'm having an issue already, or a potential issue. When I press on the accelerator, it feels like the pedal is hard to push, almost as if it wants to hesitate. I haven't gotten it out on the road yet, I just noticed it while moving it in my driveway. Help! Quote Selected

I'm keeping this baby stock all the way, right down to the cassette player. Actually made a mix tape for the first time in almost 20 years to play in it! One thing I may do is put some wire caps on it to replace the caps that are already on it, but other than that, no changes.Hi Tommy, and welcome to the madness.......great score, thats a super clean time capsule, treat her well. BTW here is what i use with my iPhone/Ipod in my 87 Cougar XR-7 in place of audio tapes...... Quote Selected

New to the forums - 1986 Cougar GS! Reply #19 – November 19, 2014, 06:49:28 PM Great story and thank you for sharing. Welcome to this site, as you know it is a good one.That is a great looking car. I love a low mileage 86 5.0 with vent windows. Very awesome car. May I put a bug in your ear, some 10 hole wheels would really set that car off. You could keep the old wheels and 14" tires to bolt on if wanted later.Anyway, truly beautiful car. Quote Selected

New to the forums - 1986 Cougar GS! Reply #21 – November 19, 2014, 09:28:50 PM I'd like to change the caps on it, but money is pretty scarce for the time being. I wish someone had some '86 Cougar wire spoke caps to put on it. Quote Selected
New to the forums - 1986 Cougar GS! Reply #22 – November 19, 2014, 09:53:38 PM Got another question for everyone... Does anyone know how to snap the trim rings back in place on these caps? Someone didn't know how to put them on and they're only on halfway on all four wheels. Can't find anything on the web about how to snap them back in place. Any help would be mucho-appreciated! :-) Quote Selected
New to the forums - 1986 Cougar GS! Reply #23 – November 21, 2014, 07:52:10 PM I dont know anything about the polycast 14" wheel. If you are referring to the center cap of the wheel, I just use my fist or palm to hit the edge in ????? I may be missing something about them though..............Are there other stock center caps to fit those wheels? I say 10 hole it. Quote Selected

There's some chrome rings, I think they're called trim rings or beauty rings that go along the outer part of the caps. Quote Selected
New to the forums - 1986 Cougar GS! Reply #25 – November 26, 2014, 01:28:43 AM Beautiful cat! If you decide to go with ten-hole wheels (I would) and need Cougar center caps, just drop me a line. I have a spare set I'll send you for the cost of postage. Quote Selected

A rubber hammer is good for putting wheelcovers and trim rings on. Quote Selected
