Mustang Chat Room / Re: Venetian blinds

Thanks for the advice.  I have spoken to Griff previously but wasn't able to shed any further light on the fitment.

Good thinking on CJ  I didn't think of that.  I'll give it a try, but I find their communication a bit hit and miss

Appreciate the help.

Looks like the Part Number (FD1477-W) for those blinds are the same across a number of platforms - Falcons, Mustangs, etc.

Perhaps worth sending an email enquiry to CJ Pony or a similar company to see what is available specifically for a 67 Mustang.

Good luck and please keep us updated on the outcome.

Thanks for everyone’s reply, why an ask is I have installed electric power steering and return to centre with 8deg of caster is almost perfect but I think it could be better with a solid powering bush. Currently a manual bush.
Something others could consider

I think it's the P/S cars with the idler arm that helps with RTC.

I sourced the bush from one of the Aussie Mustang suppliers (couldn't remember if it was Custom Mustangs or Sydney Mustangs) and they aren't (too) hard to find.

A mistake I made was that I replaced the bush and found that the idler arm was flogged out anyway (it wasn't obvious until I re-installed it) and so if you have an old part and the bush is worn, then chances are the whole part is worn.

Tech Torque Pre 1973 / Idler arm

I understand the factor idler arms on non power steering cars spring back to centre to help steering return to centre .
Has anyone seen this first hand and know where such a bush can be sourced?
Thanks

Agree, most jobs I will do myself but front and rear glass no thanks
I suggest replacing the seals while you are at it and keep a couple clips on hand
