Andrew, Kit we bought is the same as the one on ebay. Piaa light kit from aeroform did not fit that easy. Lights are to small for the holes both top and bottom. We ended up moulding the hole front together making it a walk off front with the front guards. It was the only way to get it all square. Not much fun for my panel beater.

We use these adjusters in our cars and in the UP cars we redo the bodies on. The only complain I have is that even though they made these for the Eleanor kits they made the adjusters face forward. We modifiy them to make the adjusters accessable from the rear inside the fender. Otherwise we like the quality

Rod, did you get the kit that’s advertised on eBay Australia..?? I’m most likely going to get that kit, too. Is the kit THAT outa whack with the ‘67 body..?? Also, which lights fit the lower grille up front, or haven’t you got that far, yet..?? Thanks in advance

Hi, Im currently building a 67 Eleanor in Melbourne Vic. Does anybody what the roadworthy regulations are for the front indicators (or lack of).. Do you need to fit then in an alternate location to obtain the roadworthy. Thanks Wayne

I am currently building a 67 Eleanor. We just ordered the headlight bucket kit fron Aeroform as nothing seems to fit from Aus. The eleanor kit was made in Aus and we have had major problems with the fitment. Has anyone install the side pipes for Eleanor

Thanks

I have the rebel mustang kit.

I bought it 4 years ago. They have since modified it to be 7″.

The 5 and 3/4 lights are a bit too big

Hi Jeff,

Not as yet im afraid. As the car is still having the kit sorted and then going in for a conversion it means the lights and those kind of parts are still a well way off.

I’m a bit nervous about it.. i really hope it fits.

What problems are you having? from what i van tell it does also depend on your kit? some kits were 7″ some 5″ 3/4

let me know mate

Cameron,

I am building a 67 Mustang eleanor.

I am having a problem with the headlights. You mentioned you were able to use the 5 and 3/4 headlights. DO you have any pictures of the completed install of your headlight install?

Thanks

Jeff
