SWEDEMAN Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) I have read two articles on the net on Shelby GT/SC Mustangs regarding the mounting place for the plaque "Factory Super Charged by Shelby Automobiles". One says the opposite side of the original Shelby engine bay plaque on right side of radiator and others have said on the shock tower where holes appear already from battery relocation/placement when supercharger was installed. I like the opposite side my self. Shelby correct placement protocol information requested.

HARALD KELLEY Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Mine was placed on the passenger side shock tower by SAI back in 2009 and it's a Paxton car. Edited June 6, 2016 by H0050 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Nick Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 My car was completed in 2013 with KB. Passenger side shock tower also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_GT350 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Here's a link to the original thread.... Bud makes his comments in post #16, but there's a lot of reading in the thread.... http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?/topic/43858-shelby-gtsc-certificate-and-plate/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARALD KELLEY Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I remember that discussion/thread. That said, I have seen many SAI built SC cars with the badge mounted on the passenger side tower. As you can see, no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAI-Steven Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 While there may be some irregularities, Shelby American has consistently installed the factory supercharged plaque on the strut tower. Roger's plaque was not installed at the time his car was SC'd at Tasca so I'm not sure who down the road made the decision on plaque placement, knowing how particular Roger was about his car I would guess he made the decision on the plaques location. I'm not sure why Bud stated these plaques will "kink" as the strut tower curvature is not that severe to cause kinking as many owners can attest to. Perhaps Bud dealt with a customer who was too aggressive when installing their plaque, they are thin. Bottom line is SAI has never sent placement location instructions with these plaques so in some way its owner preference but if one wanted to duplicate SAI placement then the strut tower is the place.

Rickys2 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Steve, Did you ever found out about my? Do you think SAI will make the blue Shelby Performance badge again? Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springer Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I don't know about consistency, since my SC badge was installed on the passenger side radiator support by SAI in Las Vegas and not on the strut tower. See attached photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford should have built the cars that way. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love, as Steven said the full radiator covers. So all said and done I'm actually unsure of the 2 placement places. The symmetry in me says right side radiator, the Shelby side of me says either place is acceptable. I'll post pictures when done. Thank you ALL for the input.
