120um is a fair bit of paint, the factory paint on the exterior of your car will be around 60-70um, ( i went playing with the tester at work one day on my car)
If you want, you can send me a small test piece of painted ferrous metal about 10mm * 10mm and i can test it for you at work.

Yikes. Now that's hard core.
Pity I don't have any spare bits of metal on my car to cut off and send your way....
I've had to put some clear on my sensor surrounds to get it to gloss. They're just flat blue with silver flecks otherwise. It's the thickness of the clear coat that bothers me.
I'm half thinking about putting some 1000 grit wet and dry over the sensor faces to thin them off. Anyone think that's a silly idea?

Clutch line still not fixed. We'll get there evenutally.
Mirror Dip was always working, it was just user error. Or in the IT field we call it PEBKAC - Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.
Here I guess it's PEBSASW - (Seat and Steerin gWheel). Not quite the same is it.

No, no, no.
It's always a problem with the 'nut behind the wheel'

| Good work Luke. This project makes my EF/EL interior in my ED V8 wagon conversion look like a walk in the park.

OK, I finally have some measurements for the placement of the reverse sensors. I'll post them up shortly.

The key to this is printing out the templates to the right scale, and then the placement of the templates using the measurements.
You have to drill a 3mm hole in each of the locations. Then with the middle hole drill the out again to 30mm. The extra 3mm holes are for the custom key-ways for each cutout. I expect there would be a little bit of filing finish the key-ways.

Also, I got started on fixing my clutch line today. The cable is made up and ready to go, the side panels removed. I should be able to do it tomorrow.
It was just that I was demoralised at Frosty getting a puncture in R1 at Winton.....

Clutch line fixed and tested. First test failed and I thought it was because I had no clutch line in the dash loom, but it turns out I just had my pinouts inverted and it was an unlucky coincidence that the opposing pin was empty as well. Doh!
I pulled it out and put it in the right spot, and a quick drive proved it out. Cruise now disengages correctly at the slightest tap of the clutch pedal.
Now, onto the other finishing touches - enabling the side airbags and getting the parking sensors cleaned up, installed and working.

I've been lazy.
Now considering BA RCM. I didn't even think about the leathers. I might ask now.

Well, still no side airbags. I guess I got burned out a bit with all that other work. Still a bit lazy.
However, I have put the overhead console in now, but decided to add a couple of extra lights. This includes the 2 x lights behind the sunvisor, and 2 x extra lights in the side of the console itself. I had to make up a custom loom to do it.
I hope it wasn't over the top.

No but the porno camera in the roof is OTT.
(the Fairlane's get extra lights in the overhead console. Looks the same as mine, otherwise???)

Nope, the overhead console really is identical to yours. I cut holes in the thing and put those lights in myself.
The lenses are actually identical to the BA Boot light lense, but the part number seems to be something that goes back to 1970's escorts and X series falcons, much like the rear footwell lense that goes back to the EA.
The camera is there so I can observe the kids during both the day and night while in the back. I often have to drive them 45 mins each way to grandparent-daycare on my own. The camera is a godsend, especially at night when otherwise I can't see them at all.

Hi, I came over from 'Aust Ford forums' to ask you some questions about your conversion to memory seats on drivers side. I have the 6 way seat with memory. Did you manage to get yours working and if so how did you do it. I hope you can help me as stuck at the moment.
Regards, Brian.

Just quickly, there's an extra plug on cars with the Seat Memory Module. There are various lines on the memory module connector that do certain things:
(1) Connect to the BEM so that your keyfob can be used to trigger a memory location
(2) Connect to the Pedals for Pedal Position memory
(3) Connect to the Mirror for Mirror Position memory.
I myself ended up swapping out the drivers-side main chassis loom to get the seats to work, but that was because I also wanted the BEM keyfob trigger and the memory mirrors to work.
I haven't put any effort into trying to get memory seats working on a standard loom to know what would have to be done, so unfortunately I don't have any help to offer you there. But if I were a betting man, I reckon it could be done.

Maybe. Maybe not.
i can see that there may be a logic pin numbered 267 that seems to run from the BEM to enable the seat memory. Workshop Manual indicates this needs to be at 12V to enable memory. But other than that it looks like 12V and GND come from existing connectors. But for that I can't be sure.
I tried to power my 8-way memory seats up in my lab with some manual pins connected, thinking that I could test the memory seats. The fact I couldn't get it to work means I didn't understand it 100%. But it worked fine with the right harness in the lab and subsequently in my car.
There are wiring diagrams for the body harnesses, the BEM, the mirrors etc - but there are no diagrams for the actual loom on the bottom of the seat that goes from the seat connectors to the various modules and motors. Some seats have 4-way non memory, some have 6-way non memory, some 6-way memory, some 8-way memory and the LTD even has 10-way memory. The passenger seats are either 6-way non memory or no power at all. There's not a single diagram to show how the harness under the seat is different between each version.
