Here is a tough one, I need to get an ignition key for my MKIV. I have found and obtained 'chubb " blanks, have key codes and cut codes, but cannot find any one here in USA to cut them. any ideas? Jim AK1113

I managed to break off a male portion of a 'tenex" on the rear behind the seats. what is the proper way to get the pieces out? Is this a screw in item?

hello all, i wish to convert my MKIV to a nardi type steering wheel. Who has done it, what brand , pn's , adapters needed? thanks jin

The leather restorer and I navigated the inside door panels today. Really not to bad. The chrome interior lock slide unscrews, there are two phillips screws in aft edge of door, 2 in leading edge of door (over the hinge-you'll need a ratchet side drive screw driver too get them out). To get at these you'll need to take the under dash lip filler pieces out, couple of phillips heads as well. The inside door handles unscrew easily and the slide the inside door unlock lever black plastic trim (can't recall whether it slid fore or aft) to release the panel there. As you might suspect you have an aluminum panel with leather trim in your hand.Bottom compartments ( for maps and such) can be taken off with a few screws, we left them on. As was posted earlier, the dash comes away after screws in underside are removed as well as some in side of lower portion going into tunnel. As soon as I figure out the picture attachment decoder, I'll post some pictures. Jim

Can anyone give me the secret to contacting these folks?

Some one was good enough to post the part number for this assembly a while ago, it may have been a Ford PN. I promply lost it & cannot frind it on site ...can the 'postee" repost please? Jim

Does anyone have difinitive knowledge of location and angle of MKIV vs MKIII wind shields? Specifically ..are they in the same body location and is the angle (rake) the same? I ask as I'm trying to source a top for fitment.

Has anyone had either of these off their MKIV or CRS or S/B? Would appreciate your knowledge. I have not looked at the as of yet, so pardon me if the answer is self explanatory.Have to get them to upholsterer. Thanks

All, On my Mark IV, I've speedo, ammeter and one other gauge light out. With wide hands and stubbly fingers, replacement of even speedo bulb is impossible. Has anyone found a way to accopmlish this? The smaller gauges are a real mystery..I don't see taking the dash apart. Thanks, Jim

Trevor,
   My wife made me a gift of this incredible 2006 tomb (sp) this evening for Christmas. I'm sure it will be well loved in this household and the world over. The pictures alone are magnificent, the story and text even better. This should start some interesting discussions on various sites. Congratulations!!!

While out for a run to warm the oil this afternoon, my spouse and i came upon another "bitten one" here in coastal NJ. After a conversation, I passed my business to him via my wife, he looked at it and started reaching in his pocket for his...having a little trouble, he opened the door of his automatic BDR (I believe it was a BDR)and as I said "don't get out, just email...."  he said "I can't get out ...I'm wheelchair bound"  Sure enough, this incredible guy was running this 450 hp car on hand controls. This is after he's been telling me the car, when it was blown, turned in the low 12's @ 128 MPH. We followed him for about 5 or so miles, the two of us generally making noise and having a goood time til we turned off and headed for home. What a neat gentleman he is and a true "bitten one"

Can someone please shoot a picture of their installed windshield washer assembly and email to me at jamesbottini877@msn.com. Thanks, Jim

Can some one take pic of the installed winshield washer  in their MK IV and forward to me at jamesbottini877@msn.com? Thanks, Jim

Good morning, Does anyone know where B.A. sourced the headrests for the MK IV's? I've heard Honda, but cannot ascertain year or model. perhaps someone can look on the vertical posts of the headrest for a part number? Or does anyone have an extra set or wish to sell theirs? Thanks Jim

Good morning, Does anyone out there know where B.A. sourced the headrests? I've heard they are Honda parts, but cannot find year and model or a part number. Can any one assist? There may be a part number on the vertical bars. Alternatively, does anyone have a spare pair or want to sell theirs? Thanks, Jim

Looking for top, side curtains for MK IV...any thoughts across the pond?
