I believe I recently bought one from Branda.  Memory is crap now.

I've got a handful of originals but I'll need to be home to find them if it's "that kinda car."

Hi Drew, I think you know me and what I work on so it's definitely not a kind of car lol. My only question is this you have it listed as a 3/8 tube fitting? I'm thought the original were a 5/16 tube but maybe I'm wrong.

Ask the experts here about sizing. I've only had one person request the 5/16 for a GT500.
As you know, I'm not exactly a Shelby expert, so I leave that deliberation up to others.

And yes Bob, the ones I have are from Weatherford, most of them have the original W and name stamped on them.

Drew and I conferred offline and the GT 500 is 5/16" and the 3/8" is used on the R code 427s
