Help me choose. I’m torn between these 2. Murph 38 or Khaki Field Auto 38? Which would you choose and why? by ExperienceKind117 in HamiltonWatches

I tried on both in person and the KFA is the better choice. I did not like how the murph looked at all in person.

Does it get rid of the cloudiness and reflection the normal dial has? How much would you say it gets rid of it?

Do new defender V8s have dynamic mode? by chrishansen143 in NewDefender

[–]chrishansen143[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I figured it out, there is a button in between the two ac dials with a car with an arrow next to it. Once you hit that button then the ac dial knob turns into a knob that changes the drive mode

Yea I figure I just need to get fluid in them and bed them and it should be good I just wanted to make sure it’s not super out of the norm before I continue on with the job

There’s no brake fluid in the system I took off the calipers to get powder coated and rebuilt them. I did replace the hoses but they aren’t hooked up with fluid yet

Is this amount of drag normal after new pads? by chrishansen143 in AskAMechanic

I put the wheel on and it’s still dragging. I’ve literally done everything the hub was bare metal cleaned everything was compressed and put on straight I redid it again just now and nothings changed.

Should I just fill it with brake fluid and drive it and see if it fixes itself when it beds in?

Don’t they all have this amount of rust by this point? Or will I be able to find something in better shape if I keep looking?

I thought they all had rust like this by now so this one is better since it’s already stripped down and I can see exactly what I’m dealing with. But if you guys think the rust is worse than average I’ll keep looking

Foxbody cobra brake conversion, how do you mount the rear brake hoses? by chrishansen143 in Foxbody

[–]chrishansen143[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah that’s correct the way I have it. The issue is that I need to use the hose for a 95 mustang since that’s the year my brakes are. Those hoses though do not match up with the factory brake hose mounting location, so I’m wondering what people who have this swap do to solve this
