Title: Okay so I'm not finished! Emergency brake question.
Post by: hotroddonnie on 2014-03-31 14:32
I went and told you guys my car was finally finished....well I lied! :bs: I still have the emergency brake system to finish then I'm finally finished being finished. I could use a picture on all the pieces needed to assemble, I have all the cables including the rod and I'll call it a swing arm that connects the three cables together I'm not sure if I have everything. Jeff has his car I can go look at but he will make me paint his kitchen if I show up. Thanks HRD

Well if your not interested in crawling around your garage floor taking pictures of the under side  of your car I totally understand, maybe you can direct me to a site that may show pictures of everything I need to see. Thanks HRD

I'll go back an doublecheck, but I believe it is a '01-02 crown vic. The design left itself open to easy modification..something most of the others I played with didn't. The crossmember holes are about 3/8 " off the centerline of the trammy holes, so it was pretty close to what I needed, and they could be rotated 180* to utilize that 3/8 offset. I did end up sloting the holes.  The crossmember will have to be redrilled, but that's no biggie. I'll confirm that year/model.

EDIT.......That mount is 2003 crown vic, anchor pn 3038. More info on it and install in my 4.6 install thread, page 15, reply#236.

Donnie
     Why don't you do the alignment yourself? 
      I have been doing all of my straight front axles myself for more years that I want to admit
and never have had any tire problems.  Jay

    I have the gauges and portable pads, so after I installed all the new stock pieces in the front end on my 57 , I aligned that too. Good thing that I had an assortment of the shims so I didn't have to go looking for them. 
     Don't forget to keep your steering straight ahead before you start on yours.  Jay

Okay Jay :steeringwheel: straight ahead it'll be! HRD
Title: Re: Okay so I'm not finished! Emergency brake question.
Post by: Ecode70D on 2014-04-19 22:00
No Donnie!
    What I meant was for you to turn your steering wheel straight ahead when you do your alignment.   
    The steering box has to be centered before you start.   It has to be centered equal amount of turns from all the way on the right and equal amount of turns all the way from the left.
     It has to be dead center.
     I'm sure that someone else will explain it on better words than me..

LOL I'm good with that Jay, I need to unhook the steering and find centre, which has already been done. HRD
