not true, ef one will fit perfectly, just mounting points on relevant items under there are in different spots. but its the exact same box structure wise.

Very nice.....!

I love those barake lines. I was tossing up about getting those myself. Please let us know if you can notice any positive difference. It may be a worth while upgrade for quite a few of us on here.

By the way, are they standard sized rotors?

Yes they are standard size rotors. It'll be hard for me to tell you the exact difference the lines make because i'm doing a few brake upgrades all at the same time so i wont have a clear idea of how much difference each individual part makes...

Righto, fair enough. Well keep us posted with all brake mod info anyway. As far as im concerned this is one area which needs serious development for E series, especially for all of us who dont mind a 'spirited drive' (on a track of course).

One of the things I will be doing with my car is adding a good sized vacuum tank for the brake booster. This might help a little??? I'm not really sure, but i'm going to give it a go anyway, it cant hurt.

Have you thought of a similar idea? It could be dont quite cheeply as well.

There are twin piston (and I think maybe four now) kits you can buy for E-Series from a couple of places. More info @ fordmods.

There isn't really any point doing this unless your brakes are running out of vacuum, there won't be any improvement. You can get remote-mount vacuum tanks from pretty much every speed shop.

looks like a V8 box too, and is that a V8 starter motor in the background. Good luck with the conversion saudia man, if you need any help with it i'll fly over and give you a hand. :P

Looks like Karl's old garage floor box before it was installed ;)

And the flywheel isn't there, I remember Karl looking for a flywheel at the last minute before his conversion as well.

I love ya Karl mate, but I know you're Saudia_Man

Well, if it isn't Mr. BackKarlUp.

Maybe you're SaudiaMan...eh John? : : :

Well I'm running low on comebacks and empty on evidence, but you have to admit Saudia Man is Suss! I refuse to take his posts seriously until he posts a pic of his EF in Saudia Arabia with at least TWO camels in the background and a Saudi number plate. A man with a head scarfe somewhere in there wouldn't hurt either :

If he can take a pic of the box why not that?
