Installed OEM camber bolts/crash bolts/service bolts. Should be good for ~0.2 degrees of camber gauge. I don't have an adapter for 19" wheels for my Longacre gauge, so no before/after measurements...



Midway through the swap on one side.


Just dropped this side on the ground, so this is before it settled.


After settling on the other side

Did an oil change and and used a screwdriver to punch a hole in the filter. I used a much bigger screwdriver than I normally use because I figured hey, I'm going to drain this mf'er. Too bad I deformed the filter. The filter wrench would not stay on the filter. Had to use a pair of vice grips to get the filter off. Note to self, be careful when punching a hole in your oil filter. Thankfully it all worked out.

^^^lol that sucks man!

Only thing I did was add a couple of quarts to mine. Hopefully dealer will get my replacement splitter in soon and I can get my first oil change when I'm there to pick it up. After my complimentary oil changes no one else gets to touch her :)

Spent the whole morning on the car. Pressure wash, washed, went over the front with ironx, claybar, 50/50 isopropyl alc and distilled water, carpro eraser and then did the whole car with carpro reload... bummer that it started to rain.. no sun for some nice shots.....

Today was fluid change day. Did the diff, transmission, and engine oil after 7 track days over the past few months.

So this was exciting...my Xpel/Ceramic Pro installer hooked me up with a photographer so yesterday was "Shelby Picture Day". Cant wait to get the finished copies and post a few to my build thread.

Also installed a sweet plate holder with a carbon fiber print around the edges and white "SHELBY" lettering and black tirestem caps with the Shelby cobra icon on them.

Was your tranny or diff fluid dirty? I have about the same amount of track days, but haven't done a fluid change outside of engine oil.

A while back now, but I swapped out the chrome lug nuts for black ones. I just don't understand why black wheels don't come with black nuts from OEM.



These are them: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/gor-96643bdx
I like these. I'll probably go this route too with lug nuts. The link you provided shows them being 1.62 inches. The description on summit shows 1450. Which set did you get?

Do you happen to have the part number for those bolts? I presume a quantity of four or is it just two total?

The FSM specifies to replace the bolts (emphasis on plural there for a reason, hurray SCCA classing) so I bought four. I also bought four service nuts (nylock instead of OEM plain nuts) but didn't use them as Tasca only shipped me one nut. The OEM nuts work fine, I put a bit of blue loctite on them just in case, but I don't foresee any issues.

Bolt P/N: -W715295-S439
Nut P/N: -W520216-S441

Buy the BMR bolts which are engineered stronger and adjustable up to -2.6Β°.
I have installed them on my GT350 track pack and now my R. Great results, cost friendly, and easily adjustable.

Not an option for SCCA street class autocross use. You have to use OEM accepted parts. I'd have preferred to do that and get more camber, but not allowed :(

Here's a pic of the box I received. The fitment was perfect. Worked like a champ.



I found the info last year here. It was discussed a while ago. A few guys here have the same ones. I just did a search on Summit for the Gorilla number and bought them there.
