Maybe Jer can chime in here. Are there any plans to bring in these caps or perhaps a different set of Shelby GT caps? Such a hot seller, I can't imagine why they no longer sell them.

Like most things, these caps require a MINIMUM of 250 sets to manufacture. Hard to say we would sell that many...

I remember Robert Lane took a HUGE beating on them because they're made in China.

I seem to remember they stopped selling them for a time but were still selling the Project 321 caps (Made in USA).

That may or may not have anything to do with it. As far as I know, they're Drake items but made in China.

He was also taking a beating because the are COVERS, and not CAPS (you have to use your own Rad/IC caps that these glue onto).

You sure you want that job, Jer? <lol>

4.0 engine caps on EBay update. They don't work. The radiator is the same, but the oil, dipstick and brake caps are different. I stopped at that point. Anybody want a set of caps for a 4.0 V6? They are on EBay.

I *know* the dipstick is different but are you sure about the brake reservoir cap and oil cap being different? I thought the oil cap is a cover that goes over the OEM cap, like the Radiator and IC reservoir caps/covers are. I KNOW the PS and Brake are replacements although you have to use the o-ring and gaskets from the OE caps.

I only ask because I remember just recently where a guy bought a new set from Shelby and the dipstick wouldn't work. He was beating up on Shelby Parts but they showed his order where HE ordered the wrong set and they gave him a link to JUST the (correct) dipstick handle he needed.

He would'a needed to spend a couple more bucks on a different dipstick handle (something like 19 or 29 bucks, IIRC) but I don't remember him saying anything about the other caps ('cept the IC cap shortage which didn't seem to be a issue for some reason, AGAIN...*IIRC*)
