A real hardware store will have them.

subscribed. i did 2 also. 1st didn't leak but 2nd does... looking to seal it up.

looks like we are having a hard time agreeing... ;)

I used an adjustable hole saw similar to this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Adjustable-Variable-Size-Carbide-Tipped-Circle-Hole-Saw-Cutter-Drill-40mm-200mm/332664764845?epid=27019904943&hash=item4d745d79ad:g:XKYAAOSw4RZbCNgH went slow and easy and lots of cutting oil. It was pretty much shot after...

ebay has them too but I'd buy from hardware store 1st. Given the taper, be sure not to sink it in too deep...

I bought the ptfe lined ss jacketed flex hose and ran it thru the drivers side frame rail.

Wow, that got there quick! Did I accidentally ship overnight? LOL Good luck with the install. :)

No hard top, no doors, no heater and no regrets ;D Get a soft top if you want some coverage...

Looking good Howard! Forward progress is always good! :)

another number 1. my vision is blurry enough without having help from looking at 2... (if that makes any sense at all...?:?)

Congratulations! Hope everything turns out well and good luck with the sale.

98 to 01 Explorer 5.0 would be a good source. 96 & 97 would be a second choice as the internals aren't quite as good. there are car donors as well but not sure what they are at this time...

Steve, good to hear you are making forward progress. :) I bet you will get yours installed long be mine is done. I will definitely post up how it goes. Should be an improvement over my bent, stock set up. Also found worn out trackbar and C bushings which were probably causing my death wobble...

I think i am set. I went with Wild Horses 3 way adjustable steering linkage to replace my stock, bent linkage. can't wait to get things back together. :)

it's good to be in the "inner circle"... ;)

I couldn't get a fix at all yesterday. Makes me appreciate the site even more! Glad its back :)

Not 100% there yet but following a promising lead... I'll post up when mission accomplished.

I like the idea of mounting inside the coils but wonder how accessible they are and how much adjusting is needed to get things dialed in... Thanks for the posts so far, keep them coming. :)

p.s. I lover easy outs when they work but totally hate them when they snap (most of the time they snap on me)... really hard stuff. tough to drill. :cry:

After welding nut on, I would mount in a vice and clamp down hard on nut. take a propane torch to the aluminum casting to warm it up and expand it. start wiggling the timing cover back and forth. it will come loose eventually (unless threads are stripped).
