They will be o.e ford sensors.

Hi all, I am getting ready to install a new wheel and tire combo on my ‘17 GT. I will be installing new wheels, tires, and new TPMS sensors. I will be taking nothing from the current wheel and tire package. I have seen conflicting info as far as having to program the new TPMS sensor to the...

If you install the third bracket, you can keep the plastic brace if you want. It will not interfere with it. The non-pp cars that came with the 20" inch wheel option do already have the the third bracket, along with the metal K brace. They do not have the cross bar "strut tower brace" that...

Pretty Much what Bmac said. In my opinion, if your going to install the K brace and the strut bar, the third bracket really completes the package. The metal where the third bracket goes is just really thin sheet metal. That bracket really solidifies the firewall mounting area. If you want to go...

Ok everyone, this install is in the bag. Nuts came in from Ford today, and they are the correct ones. The part number for these nuts is W712334-S440. I will include this in my original post Just to have all the info in one thread the part number for the third bracket that attaches to the...

5.0 SD, thank you for that PM. It does look like once you have all the clips out that it pulls fowards towards the front of the car to release. Either way that thing seems to be firmly attached, even after you remove all the clips. At this point you shouldn't have to actually remove the cowl...

Just for clarification again, this thread is not so much about the install of the K brace itself. It's about the install of the third bracket that ties the K brace to the firewall, hence the wiper arm removal. I still have no idea how to get the cowl off completely. It's either attached using...

It was a crappy, freezing rain kinda day here in SC, so I figured it would be a good time to finish this up. I've got it all done except for the two missing strut tower nuts that I've still got to figure out. W712334-S442 are supposed to be the correct ones, and apparently the Ford parts diagram...

Ok, the W715135-S450B is not he right nut for the studs on the shock tower. It's close but the thread pitch is different. I contacted my local Ford dealership to order the correct nuts according to what they looked up. The Ford dealership I dealt with was awful, and they sent me...

Yeah, I figured Ford had to put it there for a reason. Install is not really that bad, there was just a lot of conflicting information on that brace.

Canuckican, this is where the confusion on this install comes from, and why you get so many different responses. If you read the thread, this thread is not about installing the actual strut tower brace, and black, metal k brace. This is about installing the third bracket that comes from the...

Well the S440 ones are the ones I ordered. I haven't actually got them yet, so I can't tell you if they work or not. What about the W712334-S442 nuts? I did see earlier in this thread that these are the proper ones. I will probably order some of these too, and see if they work. Thanks, Shawn

Fyi, I just installed this setup tonight. I went ahead and installed the third firewall brace. I read over this entire thread before the install, and found a lot of conflicting info. I did an impromptu install write up on just this brace. If you're planning to install the third brace you can...

Ok Rob, as far as the cowl removal goes. After all the plastic clips are removed and wipers are pulled, did yours just lift off? Mine seems very firmly attached to the bottom of the windshield. I don't know if it's clips or sealant or what, but I had mine pried up pretty far, and it seemed like...

That's weird, I've removed a ton of various generation Mustang cowl panels, and have never had any sealed to the windshield. Maybe stuck to the windshield adhesive. Either way, I guess I will be finding out.

Yeah, I know you can get the two piece STB kit that most places sell under the cowl panel with out removing it. Still looks like it would be a pita though. Brian V, what sealer are you referring to? I was under the impression that the cowl panel should just lift off once the wipers are pulled...

Thanks BmacIL for sending me the part number for those bolts. Saved me some time there. I assume the rest of the hardware I will reuse off the car (nuts on top of strut tower) Remember the parts I'm installing are take offs and came with no hardware. I can get one of these type pullers from...

Hi all, After trading in my PP '17 GT for an Auto '17 GT, I am looking at adding some of the performance pack parts back to the car. I'm starting with a factory take off strut tower brace and K brace. I am also going to be installing the extra bracket that ties the K brace to the firewall...

Thank you guys for all your input. I came on here looking for different pints of view, and have certainly received them. I have been driving the car a lot more lately, and the only complaint that I just don't think I can get over is the big clunk you get when you put it in gear when stopped...
