    Re the seats: The good news for you is that you won't have to scrunch down in the seat when wearing a helmet at track events! Re the wipers: Easy to deal with. Go to your favorite local auto parts store (FLAPS) and buy some plugs for the washer hose nipples. The wiper arms are held onto the...

    WTB Side Mirror

    $2000??? Time for BMF to start making carbon fiber repros. On second thought, this would be a good piece for 3D printing. I participate on several other vehicle forums. At least one has started a permanent thread on 3D printing parts, and sharing 3D files that guys have developed. Has...

    Nope, just looked from the top and felt the hose as far as I could reach past the oil tank.

    Looking for power steering hose 05/06 GT

    FYI, today I looked at another 2005 GT with 43,000 miles. His power steering hoses to and from the reservoir were fine. I told him to keep an eye on them anyway.

    Opening door on 2006 Ford GT with no battery

    Try pushing the door further closed while operating the key. That should take some of the pressure off the latch mechanism.

    In Search of a Blue or Black Ford 05-06 GT with all four options

    Where in Washington are you? I'm near Vancouver, and there are a a couple handfuls of members in the Seattle area. And, as the Pickle Doctor said above, watch BaT.

    New Member looking for advice about parts for 05 GT

    I still don't know what the "RS headlight system" is. The Ford GT OE headlights? Something else? IIRC, BMF (Doug Schoenek) was working on an LED upgrade to the stock lights, no?

    New Member looking for advice about parts for 05 GT

    Hell, if you're giving him a Ford GT, tell him he can change those himself! RS headlight system: I don't know what that is. Seat inserts: Pop those in yourself by hand. Follow the instructions. Horn emblem: Again, if you have one, do it yourself. It's stick-on Windshield: This is not a...

    Good to know. My OE one is still holding up, but I'll keep it in mind.

    Parts problem

    Some shops can replace the hose and swage a new one onto the existing pipes/fittings. Check out those that install air conditioning or make hydraulic hoses. You only need the right size hose that is rated for AC use. Where is the hose leaking? Likely at the swaged fitting. If so...

    Check your vacuum lines

    Yes, thanks for the heads-up. Since I'm past 85Kmi, I better go check mine too. Along with the rear hub nuts.

    Battery removal

    Put 12 volts on the cigarette lighter/outlet. A dumb battery charger should work, using the lighter adapter. Then use the fob.

    American Pride in honor of 9/11

    I was still in the Naval Reserves at that time. I was reactivated a month later, spent most if it in the DC area, then to Iraq in 2004. I have to wonder if a similar attack today would pull us back together as a country, or split us apart.

    Washer reservoir cap

    Go to a FLAPS. There's a good chance the aftermarket has this covered (bad pun). There aren't that many different sizes. You just need to match the size.
