Restoring my 1969 Shelby GT350 that is equipped with power steering.  The threads where the PS control valve screws onto the drag link are damaged.  So I ordered a new drag link that was made by ACP.  The geometry does not match up.  The ACP DL is relatively straight, while the original part has slight bow in it.  Bottom line I don't think it will match up to the Pittman arm  or the idler without screwing up the steering geometry .  Has anyone run into this?  Is this DL unique to the Shelby variant?
thanks

Can someone provide a pic of how that would look installed?
thanks

any tricks to get the panel to curve without creasing the material?

Well it turns out that I am missing that hanger bracket but what I find interesting is that the flasher has residue from an old adhesive strip.
I may end up using velcro for this.

thanks, great help!

thanks for the pics!

Trying to figure out how the factory fed the rear brake and turn signal wire harness along the rear of the car.  I have these fiber board panels that cover the wires but the shelby lamps stick out kind of far and appear to interfere with the panels. 2 questions-
1.-did the factory cut holes in the cover board so that the back of the light sockets would protrude out beyond the cover board
2.  Was the harness anchored outside of the ground screws to keep it from moving around while the vehicle was in motion?

Trying to figure out the correct location for what I am assuming is the rear brake light and turn signal control module that is located in the trunk of the GT350.  Does anyone have a pic that can be shared? 
thanks

CompRed I sent you a PM

How is the light grounded is the deck is fiberglass?  The light assembly in the previous posting only shows a single wire.

thanks
Do you know where it attaches to the chassis?

I have seem some references to a light in the interior of the trunk of a GT350.  However i am not sure if that is the actual fact.
Does anyone know if this was an accessory and of so how was it set up?

Yes I saw your last post, you asked if I had a P300 antenna and I answered your question and gave you my reason for posting for help.
Again thank you for your input.

Yes I have the PM300 antenna, it appears to have all the mounting hardware except the locking nut that holds it in place to the rear body.  The thread for that locking nut is 9/16"-24 pitch.  I also know that the original locking nut design based on pics that I have seen is not a standard nut but I don't think I am going to find an original locking nut without buying another antenna which are quite pricey if you can even find an NOS antenna.

I was hoping someone might have another solution.   

thank you for your input.

You are right it is not a jam nut, but it is plan B if i cant find the original part.
