I need to do this..

I’ve got the tool now, I’ll send it to you….Wasn’t as easy or fun as I had planned

 

[RAU03MACH]

I orderd some spark plug wire separators
For the 98
Had to install a cobra mach acceleration cable
Installed new heater hoses
Hopefully my transmission tube will be in this week so I can continue

gotta be a reason for getting stuck , trash or debris in the lines , unless the bore inside is so worn out metal transfer inside

So seems i need new front calibers. Not too hard to push in the pistons but the dust seals have started to break. Also no pressure in the hydraulic system so not that. Rock Auto ships to Sweden but they have remanufactured from several suppliers, FVP, Centric, Power Stop, Cardone, Nugeon, ACdelco and Raybestos. Any experience of a preferred brand and which not to choose? Ordering to Sweden it is not worth to send back if i get bad parts so would like to get it right the first time.

I assume they are all using rebuilt PBR calipers.

Probably they do, was just wandering if there are some suppliers known for good/bad quality.

 

[RAU03MACH]

Mabe willwood would be a good set

 

[RAU03MACH]

Brimbo would be a good choice
There is a few out there

 

[TRS666]

I have Brembo on my Alfa but i do not drive the Mustang that way.

 

[RAU03MACH]

I would do some good research on them
Some people have better luck with a product than others

Or it could be a defective product

Lots of things come into play

Ordered Cardone calibers fro Rock Auto. Even though i cannot leave the cores back ($90 extra) their shipping is so cheap it was the best option. Now just hope i get good ones. Of course i would have liked to upgrade the brakes but the cheapest Cobra kit would be around $2500 shipped to Sweden and customs and taxes payed.

$2500 USD? Is there no way to work around that? Like, one of us send you the parts as a “gift”?

 

[RAU03MACH]

That expensive

 

[TRS666]

The shipping rates are horrible, wanted to order new mats and some small stuff from CJPony, i think the order value was like $150, shipping would have been $165! Customs and taxes are then about 35% of order value + shipping so it adds. LRM and AM do not even offer overseas shipping. Ttocs offered to check if he could get more reasonable shipping rates but now with the calibers i was in a hurry, want to get the car drivable for my sons graduation. When i start ordering control arms and other bigger stuff would be grateful to get help from you over there!

Got some parts delivered today, the bezel and amp will be going later today but the airbag will have to wait until I order a new steering wheel since I don’t feel like doing that twice lol
