Shifter and Shifter handle
ATTENTION: The kit comes with new bolts for the shifter handle so you don’t need the OEM bolts.
Save them anyway according to rule #85 of the car guys’ handbook which states “save any and
all fasteners in rusty coffee cans”. This, of course, makes finding and using such fasteners in
the future all but impossible but it makes us feel good.
TOOLS: Socket set, Phillips head screwdriver.
PARTS: Shifter
1.
Remove the shifter knob from the handle.
2. Unscrew the plastic console that retains the boot.
3. Remove the shifter boot and unbolt the rubber boot below it.
4. Unbolt and remove the shifter and handle from the cockpit.
Emergency Brake Handle
TOOLS: Socket set.
PARTS: Mustang emergency brake handle and “T” cable.
1.
Hold the emergency brake handle button in and push the handle all the way down.
2. Under the car locate the “T” junction and short cable attached to the handle. This is where the two
rear cables attach to the handle.
3. Pull on the “T” cable coming from the handle it should move a couple of inches.
4. Carefully remove one brake cable from the “T” at a time.
5. Unbolt and remove the emergency brake handle.
Fuel Inertia cut-off switch
ATTENTION: Socket set, nut driver, Phillips head screwdriver, wire cutters to cut plastic fasteners,
marker pen, and tape.
PARTS: Fuel inertia cut-off switch.
1.
It is recommended that a fuel inertia cut-off switch be used in the car. In the Mustang, it is located
driver’s side next to the rear taillights.
2. From inside the trunk, unscrew the panel covering the driver side taillight.
3. The inertia cut-off switch is a small black box (about 2”x 3”) with either a red or white button on top.
Cut the inertia switch wires where they enter the rear harness.
Rear Wiring Harness
ATTENTION: Whenever you handle a wiring harness make sure to avoid cutting any leads. Ford uses
multiple grounds in circuits and cutting any line may interrupt a circuit. Keep any/all seemingly
useless leads intact and handle harness with care. If you decide to cut your harness down
(remove all non-essential wires) follow a wiring schematic.
TOOLS: Socket set, nut driver, Phillips head screwdriver, wire cutters to cut plastic fasteners, marker
pen, and tape.
