A lot of the guys here try to find the euro models and take every thing they can get their hands on that is manual. Window cranks manual sunroof manual a/c they even get the bumpers they are shorter. Less stuff to break.....me... I like all the electric do-dads...mine work! for now...

You wouldn't have a picture of that would you? I dont have any long metal bars - but I do have what looks like a bolt that doesn't seem to have a purpose. I may just give it a swirl and see what happens.
I was able to get under the car tonight for just a couple seconds. The axels appear to be solid. There was no play and the boots are still intact. Though one on the drivers side is old and weather cracked its still completely intact.
The flex ring - I'll be adding these to the top of the parts list. They didn't look terrible - but there is definately some fraying. They look simple to replace though.
Finally - I replaced the burned out ford solinoid with a new one and changed out the rocker switch I had with a momentary switch. There is NO possible way for me to forget to turn this sucker off again!
My next little piece of engineering will be to replace the fast idle twisty knob ($50 for a new one) with a manual choke cable found at the parts store for $7. Just stomp the gas - pull the choke and start 'er up.
