I have a set of Autolite red vented battery caps.  Given to me many years ago but I never used them.  I have a 68 Gt500, are they correct for this car?

Thanks

I am looking to replace the mat currently residing in my trunk.  Quite sure it is the original since it has residue still in place from being glued in at the factory.  Who has the best replacement?  Mine is a cloth of some sort with brown fibers threaded throughout.  Was there a vinyl mat on top of this felt like glued in one?
Thanks for any help!

Looking for vacuum schematics for my 68 GT500 w/automatic.  Where to look?

Looking for advice regarding the smog pump on my 68 GT500.  I've disconnected my pump because it is clearly got an issue.  Makes quite a racket!  Can they be rebuilt?  Most likely a bearing of some sort.
Thanks

I need to get my passenger side door panel removed to fix the door handle.  I need to remove the armrest.  Problem is I need to remove the decorative buttons.  Clearly they have never been removed and I'm trying to not butcher it up in the process.  Any tricks I should know about?
Thanks

I've decided to replace my original tires.  They are now 17 years old and I plan on some longer cruises this summer.  What are the best tires for this car?
Thanks

Looking for input regarding which sill plates are correct.  I pulled the originals (I think) many years ago and replaced with a new set.  I kept the originals and now thinking of putting them back.  Did not remember that there was a difference.  The originals have shelby american and the replacements say shelby automotive.  Curious as to what is actually original to the car.
I would also like to replace the courtesy light bulb in the console.  Is there an easy way? Or does the console need to come out? 
While I'm at it, I am still looking for the clip/retainer for the console lid post.  A picture would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Just wanted to let the group know I have my S1MS 9424A
small letter Cobra Manifold on Ebay.  Item # is 284964899813

Getting some things out of their boxes after many years.  I bought many, many years ago a carb that was supposed to be correct for mid production 65 GT 350.  After closer inspection it is a 3259-1 but a date code of 743.  Did I get a raw deal?

Just to let the group know I have listed my 65 dash pod on ebay.
Good Luck!

Just a heads up that I just listed a complete set of S7MS-1012-D lug nuts on ebay.

Many years ago when I owned a 65 Shelby I bought a replacement dash pod.  I never replaced the old one because I grew to love the patina.
I remember at some point whether it was a SAAC article or here on the forum there was discussion as to how to tell the originals from after market.  Mine is in it's original box marked S1MS.
I bought it around 1987-1990.
Thanks

After about thirty years I have decided to shelve my non original 10 spokes and put the original hubcaps back on.  In doing so I noticed that I did not have a nice flush fit.  It appears the balancing weights are in the way.  It's been so long I don't remember having to have the weights installed on the back of the wheel.  If I could get some pictures of yours that would help a lot!  Sure don't want to lose any or all!  While I'm at it, is there one method better than others when it comes to putting them on?

Thanks for any help

After 37 years it's time for a new car cover for my 68 convertible.  Thought I would ask those who should know or have had recent experience.
Thanks for your help!
