Anyone know what the heck these two plastic rings are?? They are around some tubing on the drivers side between the shock tower and the power brake assembly. They are loose and I can slide then around on the hose, but don't seem to fit anywhere.

Did an assembly worker throw these on as a joke??

 

They are left overs from the Factory Install of the AC.

They are on every Mustang and totally Useless.

Cut them off if they bother you, most owners have.
BTW;
Nice RIDE

 

I put mine back as best I could. If you want to keep it original don't cut em off. Some day in the future those will be extremely hard to find for the guy doing the restore.

 

I cut mine off and threw them in the trash.

 

by cutting them you lose 2 rwhp













j/k
I cut mine off as well and tossed'em

 

I gain 2 rwhp. Cut'um off...

 

Why would said restorer need the two useless clips?

 

when people restore cars to be orginal they try to make sure they have the useless crap like that in the long run it adds value but its ugly, im probably going to cit the off nect time i open my hood

 

Don't do it, you'll void your warranty!









j/k

 

 

If you remove them they probably weigh about .05 of a gram, which translates to about .000000001 better time in the 1/4 mi.

 

Mikem... currently fastest car on the site, Took off the compressor and pipes.
Last I saw though, he left the little white things on just in case.

 

I think there is a TSB out for these . Ford didnt know about it at the time so I had my whole engine replaced




































still a J/K

 

Funny you post this. Just last night I was working under the hood and saw those. And I was trying to figure out what they were.

 

Do NOT take those off. A buddy of mine took his off his 06 GT and the car handles like crap now. Weight balance is all off. If you look at the car from behind, the left side rides higher than the ride side now.

Obviously, those pieces are vital.

 

I've seen them on several Fords over the last few years, not just Mustangs. Best way to remove is with metric dike's (that's diagonal cutters).

 

Metric dikes? ****! I used standard. No wonder the car pulls to the right now. j/k

I've left them on, didn't really worry about it. If I every really care I'll cut them off.

 

True. But I could beat that simply by taking a good fart before the race! And if I went to the john... HOLD ON!!!!

 

Bah, what fools to cut off the flux capacitor integration rings!

 

Those aren't the flux capacitor integration rings (those are black as everyone knows ) these are the oscillation overthruster collimation adjustment rings
