Thanks Jeff, That shows me what the screw heads look like, and how the spacers are almost as thick as the dash pad. I'll have to find some spacers at the hardware store, or fabricate some out of copper tubing. Ron

I would have to say that it has given me the opportunity to meet many people that I would never have met. I bought 6S550 in Aug. 1967, and still have it. I drive it usually at least once a week, even though I live in Colorado. Back in 1976, while living in Mississippi, I met Mark Smith, and many local Shelby owners down there. Back in about 2009, I met Ray Tharp, of Des Moines, Iowa, because he wanted to ask a question about the car. He owns 6S554. I consider him a lifelong friend, even though I was 66 when I first met him.  When I'm out for a ride in 550, I always get thumbs up, and people following me to where ever I'm going, to talk cars, and look the car over.  It's a nice driver, and always gets a lot of attention.

When we were in Ibiza , we saw a red '66 convertible and our first trip to Aruba, there was a '65 or '66 bright yellow convertible on the side of the road, as we were heading back to the ship.

I bought 550 in 1967, and it had no I D ring on the transfer tube. I've still got that master cylinder, although it has a big hole in it, from a clutch explosion back in 1983. Ron

The grille on 6S550 has the flat cut ends, and is the original grille. Ron

Happy Valentine's from sunny, colorful Colorado.      Ron

Just wondering if anyone here has plans to be at Hot August Nights, in Reno, this year. We will be there Thursday, Aug. 8 thru Sunday, the 12. Would like to meet some forum members if anyone is going.  Ron
