There appears to be a circuit breaker for the convertible top control located near the starter solenoid.  Was that part of the assembly line construction, and if so, how was that part installed in the engine compartment?  Are there any illustrations to indicate how it was mounted in the engine bay?

I was expecting a response with the name of the typical wheel weight brand (e. g., Micro, Arrow "P", Diamond, Excel) that was originally installed when the cars were built.

What brand(s) of wheel weights were assembly line installed on 1969 Shelbys?

I am restoring the A/C evaporator box on my early production (December 1968) convertible, and I noticed some differences in its design compared to later production evaporator boxes.  Besides the orientation of the evaporator coil inlet/outlet tubes and the shape of their gasket, I noted a difference regarding the mechanical design for the damper arm (bell crank) that would be actuated by the servo control switch.  The earlier design appears to have the damper arm secured at a fixed point in its rotation by a piece of coiled wire with a short length of straight wire extending beyond the coiled portion that is clamped in a bracket such that the damper arm is located so far away from the servo control switch that it is beyond the range of the servo control switch piston to contact it.  My questions are (a) why is the damper apparently locked in a fixed position, and (b) why is the servo control switch installed if its piston cannot produce rotation of the damper arm?

Looking for a good original 1967 right fiberglass end cap with three lower mounting holes.

Thanks!

What is the correct finish for a 1969 Shelby power steering ram?

What is the correct alternator pulley and associated part number for a 1969 GT350 with A/C?  The alternator pulley currently on the car is an unmarked single sheave and is approximately 2 11/16" OD. 

Were any markings applied to early production (pre-January 1969) GT350 rear leaf springs?

What is the correct color for the oil filter installed on the assembly line for a 1969 GT350 and 1969 GT500?

I recently had a set of original 1969 Shelby wheels restored by Paradise wheels.  I was amazed at how pristine they looked compared to the condition they were in when I sent them out to be refurbished.  I was so impressed with Craig Conley's work that I have become a repeat customer.

Which A/C compressor (York or Tecumseh) is correct for a 1969 GT350 built in late 1968?

Ed, thank you for confirming that there is no mounting bracket.  It just seemed odd to be installed that way.

For a 1969 GT350 with factory A/C, should the heater water control valve have a mounting bracket or not?

What is the correct part number and finish for the A/C clutch installed on a Shelby GT350 built in late December 1968?
