My favorite quote that I've heard with regard to certain brackets is "Ford is so cheap, that bracket really has to be there for a good reason." I can't shoot holes in that argument. My favorite quote from a forum post has to be the one where the guy said "First thing I do when I get a new XR is cut...

Seems like a good deal for the car, considering the mods and work done. Good luck with the sale!

Grayson handles the wheel bearings, but he's a flexible and reasonable guy. Shoot a note to sales@mc2racing.com and the process can begin!

It's very common for the thermostats to leak. This is one place where the Motorcraft part really does seem to do a better job than the after-market thermostats. The description of the problem says the thermostat is unable to regulate the temperature. This must be happening because it's not working ...

Not yet but I'll be at Ray's next weekend and I should have them then. If Ray and I can't find them I'll post here again. Thanks!

So many factory hardware pieces. I've kept an binned I've got some hardware from the half a dozen cars I've parted, but apparently I don't have everything I need. I think Ray's got what I need for the pivot bolts but I'm probably going to be looking for some soft goods soon (whatever that means). I...

All, I'm putting some bits back in my XR4Ti and I can't seem to put my hands on the pivot bolts that hold the outer seat back brackets to the chassis. I have the bracket. I have the four #3 Phillips screws (two per side) that hold the bracket to the seat back. I don't have the two pivot bolts (the o...

Did you contact the guy I sent your way a couple of minutes after this was posted? The guy Eric who has your full asking price ready and waiting for days now? :?: Do you not want to sell these to the poor bastid for some reason? :?: He said you said "some guy is trying to scape together money" whic...

Sounds like a good idea. I need another username like I need another hole in my head!

This suspension has been sitting around in my Box of Awesome Merkur Parts for a few years now and it's time to offload it. I would like to use it on a sweet XR4Ti road machine/track car (like my racer), but the reality is that I've been too busy with other things to justify hanging on to it. So, let...

Consider replacing your thermostat with a Ford/Motorcraft unit. This post will document why it make work for you:
