Washed and shined it yesterday , today installed spare from Automotive Authority . Jack too large to fit under spare so bundled it up with handle and breaker bar with socket. Fixed up a box with Power pack, fire extinguisher ,flashlight , chocks and tools .

I have the same spare and my jack fit. Or do you mean actually putting it in the middle, sitting the tire down on it and screwing it down? In that case mine doesn't fit either, I have it wrapped in padding and it sits underneath the tire, just not in the middle.

If your battery dies, you will not be able to get in your trunk.
I suggest the power pack in the glove box.
Guess how.I know............
Huh, weird! I would have thought there's a backup manual release. I guess there is, it's the fluorescent escape pull....

Got a random "Tire pressure sensor fault" yesterday after driving from practice. Am on my winter set I bought in fall of 2020, paid extra to have sensors fitted.
Car picked it up instantly each swap (i.e. in 2020 winter and 2021 winter) and monitored fine.

Yesterday it flashed the code. Tried to cycle ACC on and off a few times, went to bed.
Got it in this morning for my way to work and zero issues. The heck?? Was reading it takes a bit of driving for them to recalibrate, but this fool found itself while it sat in the garage. :whew:

Is there a chance you would have the part #s for the pins/retainers that secure the battery cover?
Yeah sure. Should be W716510-S300. I got a pack of ten from ebay for about £3. :)

Then replaced a missing wheel arch liner clip. Trying to get the right part number from the dealership was a nightmare. Took 3 attempts to order in the right clip - even after I supplied them the part number.
Man! I really need a few of those clips, right now I have a zip tie holding in that line. Can you send me a part number please so I can order? Or can I send you $20 CDN to ship me a few in an envelope? PM me... thx!!

Hi Dan,

I ordered the battery retainer "clips" from amazon.com, even though i'm in Canada too. Found them the cheapest there, and i'm ok with the quantity as they are something you'll likely replace more than once if you remove your battery for winter storage like I do. Not the best idea from Ford :)

Here's the link if you're interested: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YX3ZBXB?ref=ppx_pt2_dt_b_prod_image

I drove my Mustang to work in what's left of the Virginia snow.
My supervisor drove his S197 to work, too.

There is snow and ice in some places, but we have ABS, traction control, and good sense.
So far, "mustang" is not a verb today. 😄

Last few days when I had a free hour or two. Last few pieces of the Steeda Ultimate Stop-The-Hop kit installed 👌 Now, I just have to wait for winter to end -

*everything is in, just not captured in pictures cause heavily greased parts aren't always sexy 😅*

Fantastic kit though! Fun little install 🤙
