Lost oil filter access door!!!!

[Cypherious]

You know as soon as you wrote that, many folks thought, “What!?!? There’s gonna be a better one?”

I wouldn't count on it lol. I was more curious as to gauge the interest. This 3D printer guy is sort of slow to respond to emails/calls, so I don't think I'll be asking him for anything extra anytime soon.

Wow the response for folks needing a replacement has pretty surprising! I have received many of your orders and wanted to give an update. The 3D printing company indicated they're going to be doing this next batch towards the end of next week. My hope is that they have these ready in the next 2-3 weeks, which I'll ship out once in hand. Let me know if you have any questions.

That's what I said when I lost mine! That's how this project even started!

To make ordering easy, I just setup a quick eBay page for the filter door.

Hope this saves you guys the headache of replacing the entire radiator shield!

So you have sold items on ebay before? Do they give you a better deal on shipping?

I have, but they still make me pay the USPS advertised rates. I'll likely end up shipping using one of their flat rate options.

And a fee cost on shipping as well, correct?

Yeah that's right. Fee on the shipping and fee to list the item with them. I believe its about eight bucks for flat rate envelope.

Speaking of shipping, the mounting bolts for the doors are on it's way to me. It looks like Tuesday is the expected arrival for them here in Florida, though I imagine this hurricane might delay that.

Isn’t this the piece that folds down when you go to remove the old oil filter?

Yeah except it completely removes & lube techs forget to put them back (then they mysteriously disappear forever). If Ford built it with a hinge that would have been brilliant.

@Mustang5ohMan do you know if the GT's use this splash shield or is it a Shelby specific part?

can’t speak for the 350 however it sounds separate. I just looked under my GT yesterday during and oil change and it’s a small screw that is loosened and it has a hinge that folds down. Once done you have to fold it back up and screw it in.

Well shoot. It would have been nice if Ford designed them for the Shelby's like this!

Found a video on CJ Pony Parts. The GT is way different.
