Its just for ride height, thats all.dsmabe wrote:Is the hydraulics only for ride height control, or is it going to be used for making the car bounce also?
If it's just for ride height them your fine, maybe 1000 psi tops. If your bouncing it, the pressure could be much higher!

Re: Need professional opinion Please
NavyLDO, I think if you put a hydraulic pressure guage on your lines going to the cylinders that you would find that you have a lot less pressure than you've stated, unless the cylinders are fully extended. The rear of the car weighs much less than that and would rise before that kind of pressure c...

Re: Need professional opinion Please
For the type of driving you plan on doing i would think those welds will be just fine. On another note, that is not a ford 8.8. A 8.8 has a removable rear cover. It LOOKS like a ford 9 inch which has a removable "pumpkin" that comes out of the front of the differential. It could also be a...

Re: Need professional opinion Please
@ NavyLDO. Sorry I don't know of any other Galaxies / parts around locally - the one I'm talking about is a complete car - pretty original - not been registered for the road in a few years but will be shortly - even if I had seen any the cost of shipping something like seats from the UK to you woul...

Re: Need professional opinion Please
Interesting project - how rare are Galaxies now your side of the pond ? - I don't see many around but then most folks can't afford to put fuel in them here - majority of them I've seen were very basic hard top models used as staff cars on air force bases from the nuke era - had alot of blazers as w...

Re: Need professional opinion Please
Interesting choice of " restoration " doing coil overs on a Galaxie - got a 63 soft top here on the farm & it's original leaf sprung - drives like a water bed on wheels ! it could use much stiffer springing - only has a stock 390 motor - what kinda lump / horsepower you got in that ? ...

Re: Need professional opinion Please
I guess a few questions that can be asked. What kind of vehicle is the 9" in? (Slightly relevant, but more because I'm just curious) What kind of horsepower? What is the use it will see? Daily driver, road race, drag race etc The rear end is a 8.8 Ford in a 1964 ford Galaxie 500 two door hardt...

Re: Need professional opinion Please
I'd think that Eastwood, run WFO with hard wire and gas, is sufficient. I'd feel comfortable using it, depending on what I observe as I weld. If you're not comfortable, or have limited experience with the machine, some practice may be in order, but the machine can do the job. I can not recommend th...

Need professional opinion Please
I welded 3/16" perches on the top of my Ford rear end. I welded them using my Eastwood MIG 135 in its highest setting of "J" using the supplied .6mm wire, gas shielding is CO2/argon mix. I did the first pass and them added two more passes for strength. I did not even occur to me about...

Re: Mig Settings
Hello, I am new to the forum. I have a small farm shop with a Lincoln buzz box and a Miller 211 mig setup. I was wondering, is the Miller welding calculator app correct on the mig settings? Seems a lot different than Jodi's recommendations of (1 amp per .001 thickness (125amp on 1/8 " steel) a...

Re: Mig Settings
Is it possible to weld 3/8" tabs to the top of a ford 9" rear end using my Eastwood MIG 135? Unfortunately it is the only welder I have and I can't afford to buy a larger one right now. My current intensions are to get 1/4" tabs to weld on the top of the ford 9" rear end, but wan...
