Thanks Bill. For some reason I did not have 6S1918 on my list, it is now.
As far as needing the washers, all I can say is the PO of 6S1757 raced the car HARD from 1972-1977 on the original shock towers without washers, but with Koni's, and never had a problem. I still have the shock towers. Maybe he was just lucky...
Dave
You're welcome. Not all of the old Koni's went bad, especially if driven often. But on some classics that didn't get driven regularly they were prone to what some called "Koni rot" back then. In other words, they would freeze up, often without the owner knowing it, due to their already stiff ride. When recently inquiring about the rebuild of my set on 11 64 dated Koni's I asked one of their reps about that old problem with their shocks. Here was his reply: We can rebuild them, they will last much longer. We use a different type of oil and much more updated parts inside. One big issue with older dampers was a solid steel piston. During the rebuild, we switch them out to the updated banded pistons. |

With SAAC 37 coming up quickly we will be working on our list right up to loading on the trailer, then it’s time to enjoy getting out and seeing what everyone else is up to.
I will post pictures again after cleaning up the loose ends.
Thanks for the input,
Frank

Then replace the decal over the black paint - given your cars assembly date at San Jose your very close to the start of its usage
I'm curious to learn if there is any documentation, images, or other information to verify this. I've owned 3 pretty original '66's throughout the years built around the same time as Frank's car, or a bit later. None had the decal. I have seen the decal on lots of Ford Service master cylinders. |

Yes we are interred in the Division II class.
Noticed others are weighing in on some details, but didn't want to mention anything unless it's ok? Jeff may have covered most of the little things. Can send you a PM or post here, whatever you prefer. |

Frank, I can't see the back side of the radiator support but be sure that you have the piece of square rubber stapled to the hi-po fan shroud at the battery tray edge. Also can't see the fuel line clamps. Be sure they're crimped with the proper tool that gives the correct flat profile. Am I correct that I just barely see the outline of the thin rubber pos. battery guard on the inner rt. fender well with plastic rivets? Some of the earlier cars were stapled, then they went to the plastic rivets. These judges are realllllllly picky!

Away from my stuff for a few days - but the reference was from Ford in a special bulletin, TSB or Shop tips reference It makes sense that the service replacements or left over assembly line master cylinders that were put into the part system might have the decal |

NC TRACKRAT Did all cars get the square rubber stapled to the hi-po fan shroud? Our little Shelby was pretty original, tired as it was, and our fan shroud does not have signs of the rubber ever being stapled on. Fuel line clamps go on soon with correct fuel line (we have the tool) Battery guard has the plastic rivets (matches the ones that came off our car) Thanks |

Earlier here NC Trackrat mentioned "piece of square rubber stapled to the hi-po fan shroud at the battery tray edge". Where can you get one of these and does it staple or slip on? I sure would like to see a picture of one attached.
Thank you.

Steve, Here is a picture of an original from a later '65 GT350. It is not the greatest angle, so maybe someone else can post a better one.  You just need to find a piece of rubber in a similar thickness and make one. The staples can be made from wire and installed by hand. The later cars, like Frank's, that I have observed have not had this pad. |

The 6S # cut-off date for the fan shroud rubber square is a good topic for another thread and/or one of your blog topics, Brant.

My observations match Brants but have not looked at the change point yet - lots of pictures to go through. As with many of these details we are well served (helps increase the data poll 500% or more  to use unrestored San Jose Mustangs also Here are a couple of additional pictures for those earlier owners - note that the painted over the pad and staples again after they were attached   |

Just as a point of reference, I have what I believe to be the original fan shroud to SFM6S1342 (was taken off the car during it's drag racing days and was in the box of stuff when I bought the car in 1981), don't believe it ever had the rubber pad. Have had it to bare metal a couple of times and looked for the staple holes, it never had them.

I can't say positively whether my Shelby had the original fan shroud on it when I bought it, but the odds are great that it did. And this is the first time ever that I heard of that rubber pad. I still have the original battery rubber pad on the car's passenger side fender.

Wow, I was under the assumption all OE 65-66 HiPo shrouds had the rubber pad, had no idea it was phased out during 66 production. I was aware the service parts don't have it. Wish I would have known this a few months ago when I traded a friend another part for an OE shroud with the pad!  Dave |
