Pete, after comparing pictures from both GT101's and GTG's websites, I believe they are the same boots. I could be wrong, but they look very similar. I would feel comfortable using the boots from either vender. That being said, I didn't see the inner boots for the rear end links listed on...

I finally got around to installing the new grease boots the other day. It's a fairly straightforward job, but the kit doesn't come with any instructions. I managed to caveman my way through the installation and learned a few things along the way. The biggest lesson I learned was the lateral...

I'm not one to randomly resurrect old threads, but an update is in order. After 8 years and a measly 3,000 miles, the grease boots on my replacement rear lateral links failed in the same manner as my original parts. While performing the annual service on my GT, I found the grease boots on both...

Thanks for sharing, Chip. It looks awesome!

I would like to offer my many thanks to Stormcat who provided me with a few feet of the OEM trim/seal. He also asked that I let other forum members know that he has a small supply of the OEM trim/seal and has offered to make it available to those owners who are in need. He's a great guy and...

I am not a rocket surgeon, but I have slept in a Holiday Inn Express before. I hadn't considered a car stereo shop. I was thinking about trying some auto upholstery shops, but I was hoping to find a solution that didn't require me to slog through DFW traffic unless absolutely necessary. The...

It looks like Trim-Lok's 1/2" EPDM sponge rubber tubing will do the trick. The new seal isn't compressed like the old/original foam, so it took a bit more effort to set the interior engine access panel cover in the proper position for the T27 fasteners to reach the threads in the bulkhead...

Always. I visited the squadron in March for the official VMA to VMFA (AV-8B to F-35B) redesignation ceremony. It was good to see some grey, pointy-nose jets and catch up with some old friends.

So I have a data point of what doesn't work. I tested a section of "Water and Weather Resistant Hollow Foam Rubber Push on Seals with Bulb on Top" from McMaster Carr. https://www.mcmaster.com/edge-seals/water-and-weather-resistant-hollow-foam-rubber-push-on-seals-with-bulb-on-top/ I...

McMaster-Carr has a push on seal that appears dimensionally very close to the OEM seal. The most noticeable difference being that the McMaster-Carr seal has a hollow EPDM foam rubber bulb versus the OEM solid foam rubber. A short section wasn't very expensive, so I ordered a few feet. It...

Thanks for the link. I'll definitely take a look. Hey, Ron! If you do happen to have a spare used one, please give me a shout.

Does anybody know a source or a part # for the lower foam/rubber seal on the interior engine access panel cover? This is the cover (on non-Mac GTs) that sits between the seats and has a pocket for the owner's manual. The lower seal on my cover had become loose and my attempts to fix and...

Thanks for recommendations. At some point I'll finally get around to a paint correction and detail for my GT. Half the battle is just knowing who to trust for the work.

Welcome. Who performed the detailing and paint correction?

That's good info for us base radio guys. Thanks for posting that.

Same for me.

I would like to offer the most sincerest thank you to Ford and all of the members of the GT community for their support and encouragement. I was selected as well. Best Regards, Waldo

I had the opportunity to talk with Cleo Shelby during the Rally 3 event dinner. She is a fellow pilot and a truly charming lady. During our conversation, I mentioned that I had hoped to have Carroll sign the factory window sticker that came with my GT, but that since he was unable to attend...

Thanks, Fenzo. I'll give it a try. Best Regards, Waldo

As is my luck, I managed to get a small scratch through the black paint on the window trim surrounding the driver's side window. It's not large enough to warrant taking apart the door to remove and repaint the entire trim piece, but it is large enough to be noticeable. Does anybody have a...
