Haven’t needed it yet which is great. Keep it that way.

So William, this would most likely be a reconfigured Vette?I can’t imagine there’s many of these out there in the first place.

General Discussion / Ford-No more paper owners manual books.

As of January 2024, Ford stopped shipping a paper copy of the owners manual with the vehicle. You only get a supplement. Part of my acceptance for vehicles beside verification is the manual.

Hey man, make sure to bring me an owners manual on your next delivery. There isn’t one in the glove box.
No can do.
?
It’s now built into the vehicles software.
?
Scroll through the touchscreen.
So if I have to replace a fuse, I have to use the touchscreen to find where it is?
Yep
What if the battery is dead.
Dunno man, I just sell and deliver em.

Printing is very expensive, and color is twice the price. Fortunately some companies still do it. As a sidebar, as of Jan 1, Ford does not supply any owners manual with most cars. It’s built into the software. Don’t hijack this thread, I’ll start a new one about this so go there.

Was there any general round number of replacement engines built? I’m thinking this could be a warranty leftover from parts.

If your car has an original muffler still on it, let me know. I’m looking for clarification, but the outlet should be in the center. If yours is in the top corner, I’m curious how it sits level. Pictures and details as always are very much appreciated. Tail pipe and anything else you care to share.

It looks like the O-O had a lot of different possible reasons why it was stamped that way. I guess if  the car has some original paperwork or maybe 1st layer of paint to see, it might help…but that’s no affirmation either.

The bracket is only for power convertible top applications. Otherwise, the switch is mounted in the spot where the top switch normally goes. Do you need a bracket made?

I’ve heard about this 0-0 tag before, but have never seen one. Could you post a picture of it?

In the meantime while waiting for the 3d scan to be finished, I found a few pictures from here for the mount brackets. My car has a power top so I eyeballed it and it took a few Rolling Rocks, but it’s good and secure. I got 1/4” longer screws to get it sinched down. Mocked it up in the trunk and tis werkin. Whatever engineer designed this is a genius, but this bracket is not easy to make, even with aluminum.
I've uploaded a photo of an original for comparison.
