If you do please let me know too. I ended up buying the front end from Midwest Early ford but it didn't bring any instructions so as much as we're trying not to, we might be reinventing the wheel. I've just gotten bits and pieces from all the installations I can find and picking and choosing what seems to work for mine.

I realize this is an old post BUT Do you still have the instructions for your tilt hing installation? I bought some 25 years ago and still have them uninstalled. Time, age, rats who knows but I can't find the instructions to install them. Not too familiar with how this site works to find your e-mail to contact you directly.
Yes I still have them.

I don't have a working scanner right now. Give me a couple days to see if I can get someone to scan them for me.

Thanks !! If you have a camera on your phone you could take pictures of the pages and email them to me and I can crop them, fix them up, and post them here if you want. If not we'll wait.

If you bought a fiberglass front end my instructions won't help you. Mine are for a hinge kit for the stock steel parts. The fiberglass front ends use a completely different style hinge kit.

I have no problems taking pictures or posting pics. I just thought it might be easier to read if I scanned it in.

BJ this post is from John. Before you showed up, John used to hold the forum (perhaps world) record for longest time building an Effie. You two should get along fine.

bj

we may find that this is necessary on a regular basis...I think he's running old firmware that needs to be reset often... after all... he's using a Volare front end, that should tell you something... I think all those big guns he's around might have shook something loose.

thanks
john

Guess I'm a mess too. I've got one with a 72 Monte Carlo clip under it. But Hey when I did it in the early 80s it was the thing to do! Forgive me I know it's a sin.
