    Rear Quarter Window Rotted Rubber Trim

    I have an '89 and my rear-quarter windows (the triangular jobbies) rubber trim is all rotted out. I'm afraid to pull them off for a full-up repaint because I'm afraid they will just disintegrate. Ford does not make 'em any more. Any ideas as to how I can replace them? :confused:

    Rod Bearings and Oil Gallery Prelubers

    With all the talk about rod bearing changes on these forums, I wonder if anyone here has thought about (or installed) those "oil gallery prelubers" that are on the market for about $500. They look pretty easy to install. The units have an electric oil pump that pre-pressurizes the oil gallery...

I have tried a phillips screwdriver, as well...

    Police SFB Report...

    Well, I finally got all my police-style SFB's in the car. Made a HUGE difference. Turn-in is much, MUCH crisper. hump The old stock SFB's actually were in pretty good shape. Not rotted out or anything. I do detect a bit more NVH when I hit expansion strips on the road, though...

    Police SFB Question...

    If anyone here is familiar with the Police or 4-bolt SFB's, I need a bit of info. When I match up my police bushings with the Recall kit, it seems like the Recall washer will not fit. There is a prodtruding "shoulder" at the hole that does not fit into the Police bushing hole. I did a Forum...

    Instant Karma...

    I hope this was not any of you Gen 3 Forum guys. :D Today I was driving down the Ohio turnpike, and here comes some clod in a Gen III, blowing MASS QUANTITIES of smoke out his exhaust (I saw the smoke before I saw him), driving way too fast for the traffic, and weaving in-and-out. Passing...

    Yamaha 'Cycle Valve Shims

    Hi Guys, I am preparing to do the 60k shim clearance work and would like to know if anyone here has just used the 29mm shims that Yamaha sells for its bikes. What I intend to do is check clearances, then go down to the local bike shop to buy what I need. The Yamaha shims come in increments of...

    Power Seat Air Bladders

    I have an '89 with power seats. The side-bolster air bladders work fine, but the lumbar support bladder is leaky and very quickly deflates. Does anyone know if this is a repairable or replaceable part?

    Hobby Horsing...

    Hi folks. I've been a member of this board for about 2 weeks and it is VERY HELPFUL! :D Anyway, here is my situation. I have an '89 MTX, feels very solid. The struts are firm and were replaced about a year ago, as were my sway bar links on all corners. The ride is typically excellent...
