Title: Auto Trans Cooling lines 8T02J
Post by: John Quinn on November 04, 2010, 12:16:51 AM

I just received a set of auto trans cooling lines and the bends forward of the engine mount are different from the ones currently on the car.  The shiny new ones are from a well known parts vendor and connect OK and but I don't know if either of the lines are as originals are. sources?

You didn't tell us when the car was built at NJ

Hope this helps a bit

Thanks Jeff, that helps.  It looks like the new lines are correct.  BTW it is a 2nd week January build 350.

Hey - its a NJ Mustang, what would you expect.

If I had know he was working on a Shelby I would have picked  prettier- original examples ;)

Jeff,

In picture #185566 above it looks like there may be a tie wire where the looped line crosses the straight line.  It this original or just a photo artifact?

Don't believe that is an original detail
