I used VHT chrome. Very happy with the results. I am sure there are others.

IMO the most likely are switch or bad/poor ground or short. Check around the pedal as I have seen issue there similar to those you note, intermittent issues aggravated/caused by wiring getting bumped around by the action of the pedal. One of my two least favourite aspects of working on these...

Is the yellow screened on or hand brushed? I had a set done some time ago and the yellow was done by hand, good 10-footers, but the brush marks show. Pondering a repaint if someone can do a more OEM look... hopefully less $ for just a repaint and the plates are straight and clean, that part...

I give a lot of periodicals to local libraries. Most accept them here. When I moved here from the US is did the same with a lot of technical engineering books I knew I would not be using, but were still of value. Donated them too. The library was very appreciative. Some people still like...

Yep, they will restore and re-web. SO is more expen$ive. I'd recommend Python over SO, have used both and in my experience Python was better and cheaper...

Yeah, that is interesting that it notes both GTCS and HCS on the Marti... is that the norm for the HCS? Nice find, good to know another one that was on its way to nowhere will now be well taken care of. :smile:

My guess would be that many like mechanical gauges to really see what is going on instead of the "Hot/Cold and "Hi/Low" minimal info you get from the OEM units. I put dual units for oil pressure and water temp on my S GT coupe for initial break in to keep a close eye on what was really...

The only wiring diagram I have seen is in the Paul Newett book. On the wiring the one that rides down the LH rocker, or the actual 3 bulb assembly? Assuming that latter as you note "on the units". I bought all my wiring for my EXP (similar setup) from Pete Disher in the last year or so...

There are numerous in-line fittings that can be added, if you are willing to cut the rad hose and mount a second temp sender there... One, of many, examples... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/atm-2280

96 registry will be hard to find, Ebay is probably your best bet as out-of-print for a long time... This reference is very good, and is available (and coming down in price) http://store.cobranda.com/mugtreguowma.html

Did not have that one handy, at the shop with the painter for some final detailing issues on the EXP-to-be... be interesting to compare the two lists...

Found the reference, an old booklet "68 Ford Mustang Facts" compiled by the Editors of Mustang Monthly Magazine, no publishing or copyright date. It notes the following "recommended" accent colors, which may align to standard GT/CS stripes Black stripe with colors = I, M, N, O, T (notes for M...

Beleive there was a standard color match, I think I recall seeing a list some time ago that listed them, and it would only be called out if an optional alternate was used? A review of the Marti's here might find some noting a stripe color which would point to that as a possibility? As build...

Never seen such an animal. There were dash plaques posted her a while, ago, but just logo/script, no VIN. Maybe contact the vendor as see if they can whack on '68 VINs to the plaques they have, assuming the don't look totally different? Or make a variant for the 68's if the style is...

Rubber can degrade over time, I'd guess that was the rationale for an exposed washer under pressure. Copper is used on the brake lines at the and callipers on discs too, so would guess the soft metal was seen as a better option by the engineers. I'd think you would have to be careful with...

Have found most I have used (don't recall vendor but think they were the Made in India marked ones noted, they were grey) to be missing the cut-out in the lip around the stud, making them a bit fiddly to fit. Found a small trim with a razor blade helped them fit better to the lip of the light...

Python or Ssnake Oyl will make a set. Buy any correct buckles (think they sell them too, but restoring a good used set is cheaper) but 50 year old webbing may be suspect, but "can" be redyed if safety is not a big concern. Some interesting info on old seat belts. I just read it the other day...

It not dismissive, I just find the "one size fits all" answers to be a bit broad and often not quite the case. Sorry for pointing out errors may exist, and that the implication that it never happened could be incorrectly taken as gospel by some. I would think that proved the point...
