Hello FSB folks
I am new to this forum and absolutly new to Ford Broncos. I am living in Germany and want to have an "old" rig out of the year 78/79 and I am currently searching the whole US for good cars (not looking for a perfect car, but at least a good one without need of welding/bodywork) - so if you have good places or an idea where to get a nice Bronco at a good price, let me know.
Please be nice to me, as I am not sure if somebody already asked the same and I missed it in the search function.
My questions is in regards of 2 things:
1st I want to have some bigger tires compared to stock, something like 33 inch on 15in rims - do I need to recalibrate the speedo? I guess this is done through a spindle giving rpm to speedo? Please tell me how to do this.
2nd
single seats - One of the cars I am interested in has a full bench in front, but I like to have single seats - Are there good places to buy those single seats - even in not best condition? I can t find a full seat online, just new vinyl etc.
unfortuanely I can not post links in my first Threads.....
thanks in advance for bringing me up to speed.
