The rad on my 53 v8 has an aftermarket plastic expansion bottle connected to the overflow pipe. I managed to loose the cap for it today😕 Thinking of either removing the bottle or perhaps fitting something neater. What is the idea of that bottle? Has 2 markings, hot and cold Ian

Final stance!

I just had my 3 spd rebuilt, those gears are "expensive" aren't they

I have the 3 spd box in my truck, just curious how that is better than a 4spd?

Cherry picker!! 2 people can lift it out fairly easily

Not sure if Felixstowe town hall counts!!

I just did mine, got the box out(just) but to reinstall I had to remove the crescent shaped mounting from the crossmember, would have been "much" easier had I removed that first!

Just hope nothing else is damaged

What would cause noise on deceleration?

Looks like I've messed up the preload tension, will need to get it set up properly, just hope I haven't caused any expensive damage!

Should I drain it, refill and use stp again?

I had to change the pinion oil seal on my falcon, has a regular non posi diff. About a pint of thick gloopy black oil came out! The regular gear oil I used was much thinner. I'm pretty sure it's noisier now! Just wanted confirmation on the correct grade of oil Ian

Looks very cool!!

I'm going to get the blue ford logo picked out in red to match the "old skool" lettering I'm hoping to get done on the doors, watch this space!

After a couple of plumbing issues I have it working, very toasty in the cab now!!
