    Has anyone done this? I see 2 screws and a plastic rivet which I can access from the top, but I know there is a "support" behind the bumper...I just don't know if that support is screwed in. If it is, then the bumper cover will need to come off. Hoping someone can shed some light on this. I want to remove my headlights so I can paint the inside housings black (I've done this on many vehicles).

    Hey guys sorry just wanted to let everyone know I still have this, but it's going to be local pickup only. Just too much trouble for me to ship. If you're in SoCal let me know. PM me so I get an email alert.
  3. DapperVan
    Yeah I might have to ream out the stock thru holes a tad. Hopefully not, but we'll see.

    Nevermind I finally found the specs. 12mm in case anyone is curious. Will use 1/2" bolts with the MA817's. Should be perfect.

    Hijacking my own thread to ask...does anyone know the rear shock bolt diameter? I'm looking to put Monroe MA817 air shocks out back. They have a 1/2" sleeve ID. I measured the thread sticking out of the stock shocks and it appears 1/2" but I want to be sure. All aftermarket shocks for our van on RockAuto have larger sleeves, but guessing they use reducers. Love my lowered van, but the back end bottoms out when fully loaded with junk in the trunk.

    Cool yeah. I'm camping right now but when get back I'll figure out cheapest shipping option. PM me your zip code.

    Does anyone want this before I throw it in the trash? It's brand new never used. Local pickup preferred.

    I use the yellow covers on my TC. They look great and are super easy to clean.

    I think I found it. Part number appears to be Ford 519A58 and it's $491.92. It's hard to tell what, if any, other hardware you'll need to order and who knows how the heck to install the thing, but I'm hoping we find ourselves a guinea pig

    Hitch and associated hardware is off my van and ready to pick up. Come and get it.

    Technically it's still on my van, but I will be removing it this week. Great hitch, but my van is lowered and it causes me to scrape a bit on certain driveways. Great condition with the exception of a little scratch on bottom lip of receiver. If you're local just text or call 909-214-7105 Thanks, Mark

    It's for either model that has the clips in the ceiling. It goes behind the 2nd row.

    Ford doesn't offer this in their accessory catalog anymore and the only places still stocking them want $400! Anyways, I'm selling this for $250 or best offer on eBay, but will sell to a member for $200. PM me if you want it. Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/282670433144

    It makes a good hat rack.
  16. DapperVan
    Yep, that's where mine is too.

    Just the MK2 springs. I didn't like the coil over option because the fronts have to be removed to adjust the damping. Amazingly there is zero rubbing even when I'm overloaded. My only gripe is the rear springs are little too soft for me because when the van is loaded with lots of stuff I'm sagging in the rear and will sometimes scrap my trailer hitch on driveways. I'm looking into rear air shocks for when I have heavy loads. I just need to measure the stock shocks to find the right model number. Sorry I don't recall the offset, but I think I wrote it down in the wheel thread section somewhere.

    BUMP This is still available.

    Lowering springs from ModYourConnect.com

    If I wasn't selling my '65 Cortina on eBay right now I'd consider swapping in that Duratec. Would make a great powerplant for a Cortina or Lotus 7 kit car.

    Yes, but didn't you JUST say you are running LPG? We are talking gasoline mpg (petrol to you EU folks).
  22. DapperVan
    mrtn you're running the 1.6 ecoboost or the 2.5 n/a? I think the 1.6 probably actually gets worse mpg than the 2.5.
  23. DapperVan
    I have a very heavy right foot so I'm happy to get 20 mpg. Plus my tires are 245mm wide and I have a roof rack so I'm not surprised.
  24. DapperVan
    If I go off of what my car display says I'm averaging 20.3 mpg since new (7200 miles). That's mostly city as my daily commute is side streets only. Before I installed the K&N I was getting 19.4. It has been rising ever since, but I think I've plattoud. Real world I will have to verify before I install the boostmax.
  25. DapperVan
    I must be nucking futs. Now I'm planning on installing the damn thing afterall. I'm just going to use the 87 octane chip though so I'm not messing with the knob.
