[QUOTE="OldSkool, post: 16165424, member: 194781"] This is Billy I am William’s dad. Figured I’d better create my own account so we don’t have any confusion about who’s posting what. I mentioned something in the first post about being a convertible because I thought there may be some kind of different support around upper dash and windshield area because of being a vert. If not then I can at least eliminate one thing off the list. So where the cable goes through the firewall is directly under the well below the windshield wipers. That is the way it looks to me anyway without removing plastic to verify. The collar that bolts on has clearance but right beyond that the adjuster hits the bottom of that well. It can still be turned but is super tight because it hits that well right past the end of collar, and can only be done with channel locks. That’s why the adjuster is scratched around edges in first pics we posted because I turned with pliers before realizing what was happening. Once everything is apart again I should be able to get a pic from outside in to show where it’s hitting, as well as from inside looking up. Asking him to find the other post we read about someone else having this problem. Their answer was to shave the firewall. I really don’t want to do that because also involves drilling new holes and those are mods that can’t be undone. If we can find a link I will get him to respond here with it. I am heading back to shop after I get something to eat and will take a bunch of pics starting with empty hole all the way through installing, and will include inside and outside pics. Will also include pics with measurements of adjuster parts. Hopefully forum won’t flag me for uploading a bunch of pics since I am a new member. If there’s a certain way I should upload pics let me know, like a few at a time, should I do just thumbs or is full size fine, etc. Far as not being factory welds not sure about that. They are pinch welds and most shops don’t have that type of capability. Maybe if it was a little cleaner we could see things better(sorry kid figured I’d say it before they did lol). Car had clean carfax when bought from dealership. But we will be investigating that further. On a side note we have the full 2001 Ford shop service disc so if there’s anything anyone needs let us know. We may not be able to give much back to the community but we can help there. Have other shop service softwares too for most years of everything so again if we can help we will. Will be back in a little while with some pics of everything. Thanks for the help so far and in advance for any help/opinions offered. Billy Sent from my iPhone using svtperformance.com [/QUOTE]
