Leroy Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Just ordered a cover for the SGT. Will be looking out for the early style for the GT-500.

Leroy Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 ,,Ok,, here's alot better picture ,,,,, " do you think that will be a issue when installing the brake tank cover ? ,, I Have an early bulid 08 Shelby GT 11-07-2007 and I have the wider brake reservoir with the same pinched off nipple. Mine is an automatic and this fitting is used for the 5 spd cars to feed the clutch slave cylinder or (CRC) assembly. If you look closely at the picture of the cover on the Shelby website you can see a slot at the back left side allowing for the line to clear. Pretty sure you will be ok. My early bulid GT-500 has the same reservoir but with the hose attached of course for the CRC. Let us know Jer if I got right. Thanks Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 OK, finally bright enough to see here! Ted is absolutely correct. There are notches in the cover that fit over the hose lines.

As for the "S-snake", if you really want one under your hood, I'd suggest the matching fusebox cover! http://www.shelbystore.com/Shelby-Fabricated-Aluminum-Fuse-Box-Cover-p/74220.htm Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Fest Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I believe so. I hate to leave ANYONE behind... Jer Can these be picked up in person or do they have to be shipped?
