Thanks extrap ... very well done schematic. Another method is to place a small piece of tape at the belly pan holes for the "long" screws, the non-taped holes obviously are for the "short" fasteners. usmcfred

Thanks Tomy. Fred

I'm about to do my first Oil service on the '18 FGT. I know I saw a posting last year showing a schematic drawing of the different screw length locations for the belly pan. I've tried the Search function but can't seem to locate it. If someone could find this and post, that would be most...

Ron, did you order through Herb Chambers and what color did you order? Cheers, Fred

Anyone with a First Gen FGT that has gotten numerous letters from Ford indicating that their air bag(s) require replacement and has not yet gotten it done needs to do so ASAP. Here's another death caused by an exploding Takata Airbag. usmcfred Monday, October 5, 2020 Exploding Takata air...

No PPF on the Wing as it should not be necessary as it's in a protected area not subject to road debris in normal street driving.. More likely an adjustment or hydraulic issue. usmcfred

Guys, following are pics of the right and left side paint damage incurred at the extreme outboard corners of the leading edge of the wing. The GT is at the dealership now and the GT Tech will be running tests and diagnostics at the direction of a Ford Engineer in Dearborn. I will report...

Some interesting history on Ford's PDC launched in the mid-50's and now being raised for its replacement. Enjoy ... usmcfred...

DBK, it's definitely NOT rock chips as I have the exact same chip in the exact same location on BOTH sides of the wing. As previously reported, this is at the leading edge of the wing at each extreme outboard corner. IMO, it's either a hydraulic malfunction and/or an adjustment issue. For...

To return this tread to its original intent vs. a discussion of the joys of keeping a black car clean ... I was reporting a DIFFERENT wing paint damage situation ... not the widely reported rear quarter panel gouges resulting from leaving the wing in the down position for more than a day or two...

I had the '18 GT out for a long run today in this glorious early Fall weather here in MA. Got back, parked the car and raised the rear wing as directed to prevent the paint gouging problem to the rear quarter panels caused by the INBOARD leading edge of the wing "tipping" if stored in the down...

I happened to find this 10" X 6" pouch on ebay. I bought two and plan to use one in each of the 2006 and 2018 GT's for misc. items such as Registration and Inspection docs, pad and pen, garage door remote, etc. It has a nice Ford blue logo embroidered on the front of the canvas pouch and the...

Are you sure it's not a miss-marked size 34 instead of the size 25, which is the correct replacement? Optima Red Tops come in several sizes. Best thing to do is measure the L, W and H dimensions and compare them to the Optima 25 published specs. usmcfred
