ShelbyPilot Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well, this project has gone a bit wrong for me. The fuel rail covers do not fit Paxton/Shelby supercharged cars. The biggest problems are the relocated engine collant reservoir and the intercoller reservoir. I suppose you could heavily modify the covers and brackets to make it work but it would be a lot of cutting. I was frustrated enough with the fuel rail covers that I didn't try fitting on the plenum cover today. Maybe tomorrow. I hope it works because I am very excited about my plans for the plenum cover. In the meantime, I may be looking to unload the fuel rail covers and hardware. They are in perfect condition. It was obvious pretty quickly they wouldn't work with the supercharger parts so I didn't even try to slide them over the bolts. They are the midwest auto gear fuel rail covers. I chose black for the base and silver for the stripes. I will try posting pictures tomorrow. Anybody interested please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyPilot Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Well, a little bit of relief today. The the plenum cover fits. I discover the strut brace probably sits a bit higher on a supercharged car. At least on the passenger side. There is a bracket that is attached to the bolts under the strut brace. There was no spacer or washers used on driver side but I will remedy that when the plenum cover returns. I am sending it out on Monday for phase 2. Here are pictures of the fuel rail covers that don't fit on a supercharged car. The silver is an added option that you can get from midwest auto gear. I am going to call them on Monday. I doubt they will let me return them. If they don't or somebody wants to save on shipping and time please PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
