Re: Original colours question

I too would be curious to poll the Dino community as to whether the engine compartment should be body color or black. I've seen both. When I bought my car there must have been 4 different shades and levels of black gloss finishes in the engine compartment. With my engine and transmission out of the ...

Re: Clutch and brake master cylinders

I have a 67 coupe. I replaced the brake master from under the dash. It was pretty challenging as all the fittings come off at interesting angles to mate with the hydraulic lines and there is so little room to swing fairly large wrenches on the fittings. Someone on the FDF told me [after I had done t...

Re: Dino2000 Rubber Trans Mount Fit

I had to compress mine in a vise to get it to fit. I compressed it in the vise enough to get it started into the bracket. Then I had to finish pressing it into the bracket with the vise.

New pistons are listed as 86.0, 86.5 and 87.0 mm. None of my used pistons match these numbers. Most ...
