The funny thing is i know who must've done it. It was some f***k wit in a green Landcruiser that was parked in front of me but I don't remember his plates. :/ So do we need to head to your town for a land cruiser lynching? Lol.. Green isn't that popular in the cruisers... EDIT: YEAHH!! 107 Pages!!

mine looks to be in better condition than this one
 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-falcon- ... _82wt_1362 I've already made back what I paid for the Sportsman, and I still haven't sold any of the running gear yet If I decide not to install the momo, you can have first dibs on it Dirty30

Makes me wonder with that wood grain one though is that one that ford would have used? Is it old ford stock, Or just the same style wheel from that era.
As in 10,000 units total made, and ford picked that style and used x amount in their cars.. Dose that make sense? It's in a momo box, did the ford ones get/have a different part number? Just wondering if it justifies the price tag.. Or could I look at it as the price tag for a brand new 94 momo wheel?

Ford never fitted that wheel. The only sports wheel available for the boxcars was the Olympic III, which is the leather one in the NC above.
The wood grain one was just a Momo line item based on the same wheel and using the same frame as the Olympic III which means the Ford centre pads and cruise (if you have it) will fit and work. I don't love the timber one, but each to their own I guess. Might look ok in Laine or a Ghia etc with the woodgrain door spears.......

Thanks mate, i don't know the height in mm but they're SSL's all round on Pedder comfort shocks try look for the woodgrain steering wheel like the one in my concorde, they're really rare but they looks better than the older ones |

Hey just for interests sake, I was searching for the weight of a Lane and came across this.
Its NA specific but it came up through searching Ford NA Fairlane specs, so changing to other models brings up the equivalent for all Lanes and LTDs http://www.automobile-catalog.com/make/ ... /1989.html Heaps of interesting info, although it seems most has been run through a program. I'm pretty sure they could go faster than 204 kph haha..

Yeah im the same,that woodgrain one is a bit much.Wish i could see the condition of the Ebay Momo with the cruise buttons better.What looks good from afar,is usually far from good lol.
Does anyone have,or could go outside and get (please).Hub to guard measurements,the spring makers are giving me a 15mm window of allowance for spring differences.If anyone could help it would make purchase a bit easier.Mine needs 340 rear,and 350 front,cheers guys.I have so far been told SSL will give me between 335mm and 350mm rear.The fronts,wel nobody could give me a definite measurement. Almost got a extremely cheap engine upgrade all worked out too,almost falls in the bay.So wrong,but so right at the same time. |

You try putting anything NF upwards into our old box cars and they look hideous.....just my opinion of course! And who has a spare $800 anyway! would be worth more than the bloody car! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-EF-EL-A ... SS:AU:3160

would not be paying 800 for that one
the leather has been re done and it doesn't look right I've got the original in my one and there's MOMO stamped into the leather on the bottom right. |

Almost got a extremely cheap engine upgrade all worked out too,almost falls in the bay.So wrong,but so right at the same time. mine sits at 340-345 hub to guard front and rear, I wanted a dead even stance and it came out awesome. check out my build for some pics.. It took me a few calls to king springs to get the right setup KFFL-26SL KFRL-27SLHD fronts took a while because there are a few different types, V8 and 6 cyl will give different heights, IE: V8 SLs in the front of a 6 will end up about 5mm higher and 6 cyl SLs will be 5mm lover in a V8 (approx from memory..) I got the heavy duty rears for the extra a** in the fairlane. came up pretty nice. I do scrape the muffler on some speed bumps though, I'd go 5mm higher next time round using some nolathane 5mm spacers pads. Has anyone tried restoring the DC woodgrain, the stuff that is actual wood under the varnish? mine is cracking and comes off pretty easily, was wondering if some varnish would work to re-coat it?

Thank you so much,that is going to make today much easier.You should put this in the Tech Docs for sure. I have to agree with the EL EF Wheels comment too,the same reason i put my original console back in.Some things just cant be mixed. |
