Desperate for Help. Need part number for a parking brake cable for a 1968 F100. The complete cable has been cut at the fire wall. Thanks for all the video's.
Paul P i do not know if this will help you out or not . but to me in the video it looks like the bracket on the pass. side is directly across from the one on the driver,s side . i am in the same boat as you are . my pass. side bracket is also missing.
I have a 1973 mustang. Changed the battery cables and got into it and the brake light was flashing and buzzer was going off after we hooked up battery. Without keys in it. Do you know what would cause this?
I did that and brake light still flashing and buzzer still buzzing with no key in ignition. Hook up battery and just starts going of, both of them. Doors aren't even open for buzzer to go off. It's nothing I've ever dealt with before. When we changed battery , we made sure everything went in the same way. But as soon as we Hook up the battery the brake light flashed and buzzer buzzing intermittently. Seat belt is locked as well. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Boss next week we'll give the whole enchilada. BUT JBA has a pretty good search engine: www.jbaheaders.com/ look in the upper right corner and select your year and go from there. The rear section is PN: 40-2654. The H-pipe is: 1654SH. The headers we used is: 1653SJS
Just guessing if this works on a 69 mustang (emergency brake installation), cause mine doesnt have anything, so i want to fix it. If not where i can find a video or diagram about this, cause i havent found one yet ( of a mustang 69) Thanks, and great videos.
AutoRestoMod Jeff when you did this where was the parking brake handle.? was it pushed all the way in or some where else.? i am trying to hook up my parking brake cables and am not having any luck. the cables are new as well as the brakes in the rear drums. any help would be great.i don,t seem to be able to get all of the slack out of the cables.
Can you give me a hard measurement for bracket on passenger side of car off of transmission bracket and floor support, need it for new bracket, thank for all you help on your videos!
Actually, your best bet night be a place like GCar Trim: www.gcartrim.com/ Jeff keeps hoping that Scott Drake or Carpenters will reproduce these knobs...so far no luck.
Hey guys, great videos as always. I have a 67 Coupe that I converted to rear disc. I need to order new cables and I am not sure where to start the measurement from? I see a couple cable lengths on the NPD website but just not sure what the right lengths will be.
I'd probably start with the mount point on the brake backing plate then measure to the tie point near the trans crossmember.. Contact NPD and talk with your sales rep explaining the issue they might be able to get you a measurement.
Jeff - You mentioned that the undercarriage is not quite what you would like it too be. I have been wondering, what is your perfect "recipe" for a good looking, long lasting undercarriage? i.e. what types of coatings do you like on the floor pans, etc.
Well I'd basically finish out the underside like the top. Clean it down to good metal, good self etching primer, then a flat single stage paint that mimics the Red Oxide (or what ever color the car was underneath). I also paint the components; if the part was cast steel, I use paints like Rustoleum to re-finish them since that brand has a good rep for not rusting. If the car is left with bare components time and humidity will beat them down.
Collin Hinz Typically I've only done factory looks. If I were going to do something on the underside, I'd probably go LizardSkin sound and heat barrier.
AutoRestoMod Sorry to drag this on, but how would you say the aluminum faced butyl rubber products like dynamat compare to lizard skin? I guess I always thought of lizard skin as an interior product, but I suppose it would be just as effective on the outside?
Collin Hinz No worries. We plan to use the Lizardskin on the wagon on the outside of the storage compartment that is behind the axle and in the "heat line". Lizardskin is great for that kind of application where you have no place to put the sound deadener or heat barrier. If you want to ask more questions contact Jeff at: jford@autorestomod.com
AutoRestoMod I used the setup from an '01 on my '69 convertible. The e-brake cable took some cypherin but I married the old to new and it came out great.
Do you see the irony of you typing this on a computer or a mobile phone? We had Invida help us with our editing computer and in exchange I put up the ad. And all these years, you are the first to say anything about it.
What does that mean?! So yo don't want us to show tips and tricks to fix issues? Improve your car's looks? Come on Angela, the paint tips/ techniques work on things that aren't soda blasted. We restore what we work on. I don't do hack jobs. If you just want to see the other stuff fast forward.
If you guys are reading this, thanks for your hard work and humor. It has been indispensable information needed for my 67 coupe restomod project.
We are, and thank you for watching!
Thank you I've been waiting for parking brake show that was so easy It didn't make any sense in the manual thanks love the show
Thank you for the lead.

I'd recommend checking on the Fordification.com forums or tech articles. It is a wealth of information.

It probably still has the safety belt warning system. Plug the seat belt into the receiver and see if the buzzer and light stop.

Hi everyone,
can you please tell me the exact name of the JBA performance exhaust? Some link would be nice too. Thanks so much !

One thing the cable rides on mufflers and eventually burns it off like my 69 all new cables, don't want that to happen again.
I can see that happening.
can somebody tell me where going the large spring thats come in the repair kit.,thanks...sorry for my bad english.
Not sure what spring. contact me at: jford@autorestomod.com with some pictures.
Just guessing if this works on a 69 mustang (emergency brake installation), cause mine doesnt have anything, so i want to fix it.
If not where i can find a video or diagram about this, cause i havent found one yet ( of a mustang 69)
Thanks, and great videos.
+cordova1912 It is very similar. We'd recommend getting the assembly manuals from NPD. The manuals cover all aspects of the assembly of these cars.
AutoRestoMod Jeff when you did this where was the parking brake handle.? was it pushed all the way in or some where else.? i am trying to hook up my parking brake cables and am not having any luck. the cables are new as well as the brakes in the rear drums. any help would be great.i don,t seem to be able to get all of the slack out of the cables.
Arm should be all the way in. contact me at jford@autorestomod.com if you need more help.

Man, sorry, we don't have a '67-'68 anywhere near the shop right now. The '67 fastback is now living in Germany.
Any chance you have a video on how to "re-chrome" interior knobs on a Mustang? The do not make aftermarket ones for my 71.
Actually, your best bet night be a place like GCar Trim: www.gcartrim.com/ Jeff keeps hoping that Scott Drake or Carpenters will reproduce these knobs...so far no luck.
Is there a video anywhere on the net we can clearly see everything and install one at home.? This video is unconvincing
This was really hard to shoot. Sorry it wasn't clear enough. Perhaps contact me directly via email and I can help you: jford@autorestomod.com
@@AutoRestoMod done. :)

AutoRestoMod Do you ever use undercoatings? If so what types/brands do you like? Or do you prefer to stick with the OE red primer look?

you need a good pipe bender. i could have fabricated parts for you at the spot
Big issue of us is space and money!
You guys should detail a Crown Vic rear disc brake swap. Replace those drums.
We might do a rear disc swap. And the Crown Vic is a good idea. But it will have to be after the 50th.

Joe Marshall Cool, can you send us a couple of pics of the cable setup? jford@autorestomod.com
this is about mustangs NOT computers
Do you see the irony of you typing this on a computer or a mobile phone? We had Invida help us with our editing computer and in exchange I put up the ad. And all these years, you are the first to say anything about it.
why not just show how to install the brake cables and leave out all the painting because not everyone used soda to strip the paint thumbs down
