KR Axle Reservoir

[gtup1]

Anyone buy and install the KR axle reservoir? I chuckle at Shelby, when you buy a part there is never any instructions with the part. I guess only fully certified mechanics should be buying these parts. Anyone out there have any instructions or advise?

Did you get it with the 30% off coupon code ?

 

I have been looking at this one and the 30% might make the decision for me

 

Take Care

Not all the GT500s have the same evaporator line, my early 07 wasn't in the way of the tank install. I also didn't have to remove or loosen any exhaust parts. KR diff cover next.

I ordered a week before the 30% off, contacted Robert and it had already shipped. Oh well, I did just order the Kicker stereo upgrade though with the 30% off, couldn't go wrong with that deal, even my wife was excited about that.

Will this setup work on the Shelby GT? I went to the track today and noticed some leakage from the vent on top of the axle after each run. How much??

I believe they will and they're 150.00, with an additional 20% off with your TS discount. Just look in the TS store.

Thanks Dave,

I looked in the Team Shelby store at all the products this morning and did not see that item. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong store or web site?? I looked at the Team Shelby parts LLC store.

John, I had a hell of time finding it, but it's in there. Perhaps you could send them an e-mail, it wouldn't let me link to the page. Oh yea and its 139.95, less 20%. I found it by clicking the 20% on the Team Shelby store on the left side bar. Remember the sale ends tomorrow.

I must be blind! Thanks I'll click on the 20% icon
