Thanks Roy but I just picked one up from one of the local Ford guys around here this morning.
I would however be interested in the tag you have there.
Let me know,
Thanks

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / 68 KR brake booster
March 07, 2026, 01:20:21 PM
I was wondering if the booster currently in my KR is the original one before I send it out for rebuilding.
 It's car 2295, built May 1st.
Reason I ask is because it is a Bendix and from what I can gather it seems that the Midland Ross was the most commonly used around this time. The car does have most all of its original parts throughout but I'm not sure about the booster.
  Did Bendix use any type of date code? There appears to be a number 1189 ( or maybe 1139) stamped in a vertical direction near the fitting.
Thanks, TomYou cannot view this attachment.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / 68 KR plenum adhesive

Getting ready to install the ram air plenum back onto my hood and it looks like the original adhesive was maybe red or brown in color. Just wondering what you guys are using to replicate this ?
 Thanks,  Tom

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, sorry for the delayed response, I have "notify me of replys" checked but got no Email ? I believe both of the upper A arms and 1 of the lower ones are original.
I thought I had seen a place somewhere that restored A arms with the correct ball joints, rivets etc. but cant remember who.
Thanks Bob for the Choko link, I will contact them about the steering stuff for sure.

I'm painting my Highland green KR conv. shortly and I am not sure if it should have the pinch weld blacked out ?

This is 2295, I believe this is the 13th KR convertible.
 Pictured as I bought it a while back and as it currently looks getting "freshened up"
