Jer Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks Jer! You guys gonna make the Amelia Island Concours this year? Sam I don't believe so. We are focused on our new location more than traveling this year, I think. Of course, our Team Shelby Regional Directors may arrange a presence...

Doug_GT350 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I've said this many times, but it bears repeating: This is not just for the track, it's an ESSENTIAL geometry correction that centers the rear axle, eliminates "rear steering", and really enhances the overall "feel" of the car. I felt it the moment I backed out of my driveway after installing it. A truly great mod worth every penny. Jer This is something I am seriously thinking about, I have had my car jump half a lane when hitting a bump under minor acceleration. I'd hate to see what would happen if I was in full boost....

Well, at least you did your rotors and pads, right? The stock setup is just DANGEROUS, in my opinion. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 So I am about ready to pull the trigger on the Watts link but I cant find the GT500KR differential cover in the the Shelby Store, anyone have a link ?

Jer Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 will they clear my Razors and will I need new rotors? They will clear +24mm offset Razors only, and do require the matching Brembo rotors. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmcmotorworks Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I just took museum delivery (Feb. 10th) of a new 2012 GT350 and am interested in a spare set of wheels. I left Tim a message on Monday to call me but have not heard back. He's probably just a busy guy or something. Anyway, are there or will there be any available for registered owners in the future.

Yes. I'm amazed Tim hasn't called you back. He may have referred your call to Brian Turner, who does restricted parts. I'll find out. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2007_Shelby_GT Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks Jer! I'm going to see if I can borrow some garage space with a lift, but more than likely, this will be a DIY shade-tree operation with ramps and a lot of groaning! (I hate getting old!)

Triumph Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Andy, we now carry ONLY the shallower 3-setting model for coupes AND convertibles. There were issues with swaybar clearances, we tested it on my car and found that the big frame could have contact on full suspension release (specifically, the "drop" on Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch's track), so the shallower Watts frame is way more compatible, fits everything. Jer Jer, I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these. Not to beat a dead horse...but I don't want to assume, do you know of any fitment issues with a hotchkis rear sway bar? It's funny you mention SMMR because that is where I will spend most of my track days. Also an off topic question...Will SA combine Team Shelby and military member discounts?

Jer Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I don't have any info on the Hotchkiss, but thbe shallower Watts pretty much clears ANYTHING. As for discounts, the TS discount would be all I can manage on a Watts link. Thanks! Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crgjohnson Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Maybe a dumb question but what is the purpose of the rubber o rings on the ends of the Fays 2 watts link. All of mine are destroyed and I'm having difficulty finding info on replacements. Any help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 The O-rings are there to aid in keeping dirt/grime out of getting into the spherical ends. You should be able to get replacements at a local hardware store. Keeping the spherical ends clean will prolong their life expectancy. You should wipe the dirt off of them occasionally and spray them off with WD-40 or something equal to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
