I have a company here in germany that can scan every kind of parts with a machine and then print this thing in plastic so where is the deal? Making a case exact like the original and then put in a batterie like the reproductions of the red cap battery are built they are also only a case with a smaller battery inside and the quality of the battery inside is poor.

Have you priced getting something the size of a 24F battery 3D printed?  Have a place in NC that about took my breath away with their quote.

The problem with 3D printing is the surface texture.  It is very difficult to get a smooth surface like originals.

The best solution I have found is to 3D scan an original battery and use that to have an injection mold made.  Only problem with that is the injection mold could run $15-25k depending how it's made.  This would be for a hollow battery, 5 sides, with a screw in bottom that could hold a small AGM battery.

Another option is to mill the raised section of a repro 24F off where the sticker goes.  Then somehow figure out how to apply the raised lettering, either as an insert from a 3D scan/print, or something else.

Pics attached of an original

22F and 24F have the ampere rating and number of plates molded into the short side, on the negative post side of the battery.

Appear to be re-rimmed

Interesting that painting a car under lease was allowed??  Imagine doing a color change on a leased BMW these days... dealer would freak.

Thought the registry has the info about modifications?

Steve, what is the criteria for getting a car into an indoor space?  Is it first come first serve or does it have to be some special vehicle...

Often a mix but mostly by certain class designation if you look at past practices

Usually priority given to Thoroughbred, Unrestored, Concours and Retired/Conservator class cars.  Concours Trailer usually given before driven class also, depending on space available.

Who ordered first....
Shouldn't the first few people get a mystery surprise with their order?

I would think at least signed by Howard P

It is being discussed about a requirement for all inside cars to have a drip pan.

Steve: This is normally handled by plastic sheeting on the floor, usually a piece big enough to go under the front of the car.

1 remaining, sale pending.

Just Curious, how do these Parts Differ between NOS and Repop's?

- NOS washer pump kit
- NOS set of black arm rest pads
- NOS set of seat side shields
- NOS water temperature sending unit
- NOS turn signal switch
- NOS original style 2 piece front brake rotors
- NOS set of inner and outer door belt line weather strip
- NOS fastback roof rail weather strip
- NOS headlamp dimmer switch
- NOS 1966 Mustang grill
- NOS set of grill moldings
- NOS 1966 GT350 Gas Cap
- NOS GT350 tail light panel emblem

The only parts from that list that would be hard to tell the difference would be the door belt line weather-strip.  All the others would be quite different from repro, in both appearance and fit/quality.

Does this windshield have the '68 mount glued to it?  Wondering since the 7G date.

4 available

NOS 65-7 dual point distributor condensers.  $60 ea, shipping included to US address.  Have a total of 6.
