  1. Having fun with the aluminum panels still almost done = ) Questions inside.

    I am almost done drilling all the holes in my panels, the amount of holes needed to be drilled isnt that bad at all. I actually am finding this to be very relaxing, kind of takes your mind of things and is pretty simple.
    I am running into a issue with the back panel for the cockpit, the tops are not lining up very well and if I push them together it seems to cause the top of the back panel to flex slightly into a S shape in some spots. Anyone have suggestions on wether to rivet them in place ...

  2. Front brake calipers for the Mk4 Roadster

    Help! I have the 17' Halibrand wheels and want the Baer 13' rotors. Any idea what would be a great caliper for the front wheels? I wanted to go with the cobra 95' dual piston calipers but believe they won't fit on these rotors. Will they fit on a 12' or should I just go with a different caliper?

    On the rear, again I am planning on the 13' rotor but was using stock Mustang 95' calipers. Are these okay?

    cheers

    This morning I decided to tackled nice little project- install firewall with Summit racing heater.
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]6088[/ATTACH]

    This little guy pushes 28,000 BTU, which high for it's size. FFR guys are happy who installed in so I decided to get it, because it's much easier install it right now, than when firewall is riveted in.
    So, I made a template on regular paper, then transferred to cardboard and then to firewall while it's attached to the frame with clekos, just ...

  5. IMPORTANT Spam and Blogs announcement. PLEASE READ (11/10/2011)

    by , 11-10-2011 at 12:16 PM (The FIRST TheFactoryFiveForum.com Blog!)
    Greetings everyone,

    We have been experiencing daily blog spam attacks, and today when I cleared them out the recent blog posts widget on the front page refused to update.

    For now I have made it a requirement that all blog posts go through a moderation (accept) step that is similar to the one experienced by new members, except that every entry has to go through this step, not just the ones with links, etc.

    We will also be patching the install today to ...
