Hey, guys I just tried to install my new FC 65mm 2003 TB and Justin and I ran into a minor yet big problem.
It would seem like that ford has changed the setup of the 2003 late model stock TB. The item that has changed is the cable running from the throttle cable, it appears that it does not have a rubber gromet that is key to install this part on the FC TB. Another issue it seems as if the bracket spacing has changed as well, with my stock TB where the cruise control and throttle cable go it is flush unlike the earlier model that is spaced apart
I can't install the FC without the rubber gromet. I was wondering if I can get this part from a local dealership or what. Also, if I end up having to change the cable length how will that affect my throttle cause comparing the length of the stock Vs. the FC is about 2inch it seems without taking acurate measurements. I know that I can cut the end of the cable and just add the rubber gromet. But, I wonder if FC is aware of this problem.
Have any of you guys run into this problem. I would like to install this be the weekend but, I can wait if I have to.
