Just let them have a go first. If that fails, then consider that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a great little machine shop that could knock up a collar out of ally pretty cheap. You could probably get half a dozen made up and sell the other five to cover your cost! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(AUST)Mod Member 29 Member For: 13y 1m 7d Posted 28/11/12 02:03 PM Share Posted 28/11/12 02:03 PM I am having a friend at another Ford dealership calibrate it, and then I will look into securing the sensor. Until it is calibrated, I wouldn't have a clue which position to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
