blkGT500nCA Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 These little things are great! I just painted/hydro dipped my rocker panels too, so these puppies couldn't have come at a better time! I couldn't leave well enough alone, so I had to powder coat mine in an anodized red. Should make it a little harder to lose. The piece fits right onto the pinch weld making it MUCH easier to raise the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARALD KELLEY Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks for the order! Does not seem to fit on the front pinch weld of the GT-H. Rear is perfect as shown in the picture. Appears that the opening is not as deep. Any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistolWhip Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 The pinch weld will not necessarily go all the way to the bottom of the groove in the jacking pad. The object of the pad is to NOT lift the car from the pinch weld, but disperse the weight of the car around the pinch weld and onto the chassis. The pinch weld would crush if you jacked on it or put pressure on it. The jack pad enables you to jack the car up from the edge of the chassis (keeping you from having to stick the jack far under the car) without crushing the pinch weld itself. This is what its supposed to look like: Here's the clearance I have between the jack and the pad with the car on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT/SC#0471 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I jack on the pinch weld. No issues? Or am I on the wrong page again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolWhip Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 You'll eventually collapse or at the very least bend the pinch welds if you place the jack flat against them. If you don't care that's your choice, but the other problem is that the GT500 has a rocker panel that wraps around the bottom of the chassis and covers most of the jack rail. If you were to use a regular jack and try to lift the car by the rail, you'd crush the rocker panel. I'm not sure if your car has that type of rocker panel, but if you crush that pinch weld or slip off of it, your running a HUGE risk of making a Freddy Flinstone power hole in the floor panel of your car. I've seen it happen and it aint pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07REDGT500 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 S197's are designed to be lifted by the recess in the pinch weld. If you lift in the recess in the pinch weld you should have no problems. Don't lift by the area outside the recess. I have been doing it for years and my pinch welds and rockers are fine.

Ford Fest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Not sure if you still have your rear brake cooling ducts on your 40th, let me know how it fits or if you have a recommendation for where to place a floor jack to lift the rear.

PistolWhip Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Mine fits fine at the rear like the pictures shared. Its the front that it does not. Have you tried the front one? The second picture I posted is of the front passenger side. I used the that same jacking pad to lift ALL four corners of the car just to make sure that it was 100% solid and fit was perfect all the way around. Steve asked me to do that before he put them on the market for this very reason. He wouldn't have put them out if there were any issues and I can guarantee you that if I had a fit problem or a suggestion for change, he would have listened and in many cases puts me on the phone with his machinist to make sure that there is no misscommunication or missunderstanding. Trust me, Steve wouldn't put ANYTHING on the market with his name or "True Forged" on it, if it wasn't tested in the real world first. Post up a pic of your jack pad and if possible, where your having a problem with it. Its possible that during the machining process there was an error or something was missed in QC when it was packaged up for distribution. I can look at pics of it and tell right away if there is anything wrong with it. If the pad is machined correctly though, I can't see how there would be any fitment problems with any S197 chassis Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that for a PAIR or EACH? It doesn't say but it does say "packaged individually" so I'm kind of *assuming*, ea.. It looks like something I can't live without!

fcettner Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Phil - Its sold as each, you need to order two if you jack both sides like I do 90% of the time. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lgs ShelbyGT Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Does not seem to fit on the front pinch weld of the GT-H. Rear is perfect as shown in the picture. Appears that the opening is not as deep. Any thoughts The problem appears to be the rocker panel which may be specific to SGT & SGT/H At the front pinch weld is an attachment point for the plastic pin that fastens the rocker panel at that point, which keeps the jacking pad from seating properly on the outboard side Where at the rear pinch weld, the rocker panel is open with a cutout & the jacking pad fits in nicely Any ideas?

tedj Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I just use a hockey puck. The vulcanized rubber is very tough and still deforms to save the pinch weld. Pretty cheap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NordicShelby Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Will this work on the front end of a SGT or not? Will it work on the 5.0 mustangs? Such as a 2013 Boss 302? I have read a few forums where people say they will fit 5.0 and some say they will not fit a 5.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Nice product! I use the "poor man's" method - a piece of cardboard, trimmed to fit the jack "cup"' wrapped in duct tape. No damage to the pinch point in 5.5 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
