Magnetic Drain Plug Kit for GTs?

I did a search and didn't come up with anything specific. So, does anybody know if a Magnetic Drain Plug Kit is available for the GT? For my C5 Corvette, you could buy a kit that had a magnetic engine, transmission, and differetial drain plug, and oil filter magnet for less than $20. I would like to purchase these, as they do a great job of catching little metal particles. Thanks in advance!

Buster, check this out. I can't find anywhere it says it's specifically for the Mustang, but you know more about this stuff than me, so let me know if you figure it out, because I'd like to do it too. It's about halfway down the page.

Well, that is what they look like, but that is not the right application for the 2005-07 GT's. According to them it only fits 96-04 4.6/5.4 engines. Someone out there has surely put together a package for all three plugs, we just haven't found it yet. Hopefully someone will know.

Has anything changed with the 05 - 07 4.6 engine, specifically the oil pan and drain plug?

I have no idea, but I am assuming something is different, or the 05-07's would have been included. I am surprised that someone doesn't know of a kit for our GT's as popular as they are...anybody?

Magnetic Oil Drain Plug - Still Looking

I did not have any luck on the web for a plug for the Mustang GT - did find one for the V6. A search showed this thread from a year ago. Anyone find a source yet?

Engine oil drain plug (in the oil pan) for the 2006 Mustang GT is the same as for a 99 F250 SD V-10 which is also the same as a 94 Mustang GT 5.0L. I know becuase I used the same one on all three of these applications. Probably the same for all 1994 through 2004 Mustangs (I can't see why Ford would use a different drain plug on the V-6s).

Not sure about magnetic drain plugs for the transmission or diff, however
