David Shaffer Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Important - This is just for the gray adapter you see attached to the cap. It does not include the Billet Cap. Many of the 2016 GT-H washer fluid caps are missing because of a loose fit. The O-Ring just does not seal the cap and they can become jarred off and fall down into the frame or out on the road - gone. My son designed and fabricates (3d-prints) an adapter that solves this problem and provides for an excellent tight fit. See photos. I don't think I am allowed to sell on here so if you are interested go to the classified section and look for topic. 2016 GT-H Washer Fluid Cap Adapter. It will tell you how to get one.

Brent Zier Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Interesting, sounds like a good idea. Hate it when parts fly off the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Mirabella Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Great idea. My cap is gone. Called Shelby and they said there are no plans to start another production run of cap sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Garry Kraft Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Also be careful with your hood open. I have heard of incidences where one or more of the Shelby caps disappeared while at a car show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Zier Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 I now have mine installed from Skyler. I was really surprised how the loose the fitment was after I read this. So I bought one and it is a nice TIGHT fit, it will not fly off. Thanks for the solution, Skyler! I should have asked if he could # it! Just kidding!

It's my understanding that there are many cars without them. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Zier Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Dave, the adapter your son makes certainly adds piece of mind. I drove my GT-H yesterday to work, and wouldn't you know it, there was lumber in the fast lane. I had enough time to go to over to the left (emergency lane), but still ran over lumber and the car took some "bumps" (no damage). The first thing I checked was if my washer cap was still on the car (it was). I got home last night and there was Skyler's adapter in the mail, so I wasted no time putting it on the car after what may have been a close call. It is a "mod" that can be undone at any time, so that it a plus. Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTH146 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 I just had the unbelievable luck of recover my “missing” cap! Was on a racetrack last week, having some fun, and during one of those tight turn maneuvers, it actually dropped onto the tarmac, from the engine compartment......not exactly a great sound underneath the car, but you can imagine my surprise, when I picked up the cap, knowing what it was. So the car was shipped to me with a blue plastic cap and now has the genuine GT-H cap, with just a little bit of racetrack patina😁 So Dave, I will send you a pm, try figuring out how to get one of your fine adapters shipped to Denmark.... Just saying, there might be 1 or 2 caps to be found, stashed away in the engine compartment😎😎 /Bo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Shaffer Posted August 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 What a story! I am sure my son can figure out a way to ship to Denmark. His adapter works !! His email is skylershaffer@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
