1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / 1968 Shelby Tilt Pillar Switch.. question
« on: August 12, 2023, 09:12:24 PM »
Question: I’ve found 2 difference style switches used for the “pop a way” circuit actuation. 
This switch is actuated when the drivers door is closed. 

The switch used on my car needs to be replaced.  The plunger was damage, so I’m searching for the correct switch. 

Were there different suppliers for this switch?
Or possibly the 67 and 68 Mustang tilt switch is different. 
The following is a photo of my damaged switch.

Any assistance is appreciated.
Thks

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / 1968 KR 4sp Rear Shock, orange marking. Paint color suggestions
« on: July 19, 2023, 07:15:54 PM »
Looking for suggestions for the orange color to match the original factory markings. 
I do have a good reference for the placement and size of the paint daub.
The orange coloring on my old rusty shock looked almost like a 60’s Chevy Engine.
It’s awkward to think i’d used that color … :-)

I just got my shocks back from a complete rebuild, and l’d like to add the factory ID orange paint marking to complete updates.

Thank you
Fran

Has anyone had any luck doing this?

I don’t want to mess up my original.
Comments appreciated.

Wanted to Buy / Re: Wanted: 428CJ Water Pump Pulley, 3 Groove, Non AC Application (1968 Shelby)

Yes, here’s a photo that I captured of that stamping. It’s a little difficult to see, but using a decent light it’s there.  Also the rectangular Fomoco stamping about 90 degrees from the part number stamping.

Wanted: Looking for a no pits pulley to replace my original.
Any leads are appreciated.
I have been able to locate pulleys, the challenge is to find one that’s a decent core.
I can provide dimensions if you think you have one, but are unsure about the pulley diameters.
Thank you

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / 1968 Fan Clutch, KR application, date codes?
« on: May 10, 2023, 01:28:00 PM »
I’ve sent out the fan clutch for restoration.
It has the correct Ford stamping at the fan mounting OD surface.

The question I have is about the stamping mark on the inner surface of that plate ( see photo )
 Is that the build date? “C119”

Also, were there any other ink printed markings on the cad plated surface near the front spring?
Thank you
Fran

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / GT500KR Seat Belt Tags
« on: May 10, 2023, 08:38:26 AM »
In preparation for sending my seat belts out for restoration…inventorying all the pieces, stamping numbers and webbing fabric labels..

I noticed that the shoulder harness tags were
“Manufactured for Shelby- American”, and the rest of the belt tags were “Manufactured for Ford”

Apparently the shoulder belt harness was a Shelby American design.

To confirm .. this is what you described as being correct for 67 68 mustang.
The inside (narrow top most piece) recesses down to meet next extension part of the mast.
(see photo)
Think you
Fran
