    Pocket sized tire inflators

    Sorry, I meant the Airmoto. It has an 2000 mAh battery. The Fanttik battery is 2400mAh.

    Based on this thread I just bought a Fanttik X8. Bigger battery than the NOCO. Have not used it yet.

    does anyone know where i can get carpeted 05/06 FORDT GT floor mats?

    Lloyd has cut back on their sponsored logos. You can no longer get Porsche branded mats. I don't know about Ford.

    Clamshell not unlatching on driver's side

    I have completed the "lassoing" of both pull cables with zip ties, so neither one can fall out of the open fork in the actuating arm in the absence of the plastic grommet (both of mine were gone).

    Wow! A picture is indeed worth a thousand words. My rubber grommet is toast on both releases. I had no idea I only had half a grommet.

    Street price per gram: Ford GT Parts vs Cocaine

    Why would Ford do this? There aren't enough of us to make a financial difference to Ford. It seems almost punative. I would think they would be happy to help keep these cars on the road and the show field.

    bolt torques for belly pans

    That was 62 inch-lbs, but it's really unnecessary to employ a torque wrench on those bolts. Just use your spidey sense.
