Re: My New Interceptor - '72 Mk 111, 133-5597

Came up to Ohio, USA for the Eclipse…

Re: Bacon & Brakes

Right…. I saw the Pantera / Transporter combo won “Best of Show”.

Very cool!

Re: New member, 75 interceptor convertible

Beautiful looking car – it looks a different color in front of the “ancient vehicles” sign!

I’m sure you will have many miles of excitement in it!

Re: My New Interceptor - '72 Mk 111, 133-5597

I installed my Compushift Transmission Controller A/B switch. It’s the tiny pushbutton between the A/F Ratio gauge, and the Vacuum gauge. It lights up blue in “B” configuration. A = Leisurely Cruise Mode B = HiPo Shift Mode (Higher RPM Shift Point) Amazing how long this one took…. Had a 2 week setba...

Re: Interceptor MKIII - 129/5640 - Complete restoration

Thank you for the pictures. I’ll take a close look at them and see if they can help me to make both of my recliners work. I thought it was a colony of France, possibly near the Sverdrup Islands? (j/k…. I was just kidding you!) Rocky* * Rocky is my original internet name, from the Toyota Land Cruiser...

Re: Interceptor MKIII - 129/5640 - Complete restoration

The headrests are difficult to remove. I have never been able to get mine out. I have heard stories of people holding the seats by the headrest and using the weight of the seat (with a swift, sure pull) to overcome the "lock mechanism" in the headrest slider. I have been unsuccessful in at...

Re: Interceptor MKIII - 129/5640 - Complete restoration

This might be a longshot, but can you get a pulley remover that expands outwards, and tried to get a good grip on the inside of that piston? My guess is that if you can get it to rotate, it will help free up the piston for extraction. I’m certain there are others people with long experience that hav...

Re: Interceptor MKIII - 129/5640 - Complete restoration

As a helpful suggestion…. WD-40 is not a great penetratating lubricant (but it’s a lot better than nothing)…. A inexpensive options is a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid). I’m sure your local auto parts store will also sell other options (Liquid Wrench, Break-Free, etc.). A...

What are those parts on the rack in the last picture behind the dashboard?

Looks like you use a lot of them!

Re: Apparently an SP

Perhaps easier (and cheaper) to remove a vinyl roof during a repaint than installing an aftermarket six-pack… but all options are in play!

It would be good to know what it really is!
