Has anyone seen orange paint on their leaf springs. Just removed mine yesterday. Found the usual yellow and green stipes. Then on the pair is an orange stripe on the spring and rear clamp. Including a pic hard to see but gives an idea where the orange is. Springs have some rust, but can clearly see orange paint. I have seen orange paint on hipo flywheels and cranks. May indicate springs are for a K code car? Also have noticed on restored early Shelbys looks like the yellow and green paint has been sprayed on. Mine have always been a brushed stripe.

I do have an NOS C7FE cam. Restoring my Hertz was thinking of adding hp.  Will probably just sell the Lemans cam and get a stock hp289 cam. Thanks for the input.

Hello, Does anyone know if  the automatic trans will shift okay when using a C7FE lemans cam? Enough vac. for the modulator to shift gears. I have used this cam with a stick and like the added hp.   Thanks

Thanks Dave, Gave me some answers I was looking for.   Tom

As far as I know early Wheels were not embossed by manufacture. Have owned a few over the years, none had a makers mark. Maybe someone on the forum would know who made the early wheels. Was on Shelby Restoration Parts website. Has the new remake pictured. They did a real good job as far as the holes and rivet location. Nice wheel. Looks close to my vintage wheel. MY wheel has the bolt pattern that fits the hub Branda currently sells.

Thought about that. I dont want to drill an extra hole in the dash for a toggle. May just try to trade out for a 66 optional wood wheel.

Have owned several early GT350s over the years. Including 1 65. Also have a few spare parts. I have this 65 3 hole wheel that I may put in my current car a 66 Hertz. Would this still be safe to use or just stay with my original wheel? This wheel looks better in the car, I see they are reproduced now for around 2,000. Would the originals be worth more? Just asking. If I dont use it may move it. Of course it needs a restoration.  Thanks

Why do people expose the Ford vin. for everyone to see? Hertz car on Ebay 1547 listed  with Ford vin.  I would prefer to keep my vin private. What would be your thoughts?

Working on Hertz 1831. Should alt pulley be black or gold cad.?  Also what color should the alt. fan be?   Thanks

Just to add. Maybe try to find the s1ms steel chrome hub. Have owned 2 over the years. Not sure when in production they were used. MY No 5s45 had the original 16 inch wheel with aluminum hub. Also had a 15 inch 65 wheel with holes in the spokes and it had the chrome hub.
