The radiator mounts just don't look right to me either.
Do you have any pics?

Same here, mounted mine in the outer bump stop location. But the hole to the outside of the bumps stops can be used for pins too.

Those are the Shelby S1MS-16892-SSK pins. I no longer have the lanyards as the started to look terrible and mark the paint on the hood.

And you didn't use their brackets? How did you mount it? I didn't think you'd be able to get access to thread the nut on the bottom of the bolt dealing with that frame rail

I'd definitely cut the cables off myself

I didn't use the brackets. I used washers and a nut on both sides of the upper radiator support which has to drilled out on the bottom to fit the washer and nut. The front bumper and headlights have to be removed to install the pins in this location.
I used this link as my guide ===> http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...ood-stops.html

Well, I finally bit the bullet and got the Scott Drake pins. Shelby assured me they'd fit, and they do:

Very nice.
I still prefer them farther to the edge like mine, but yours look fine too.

And get road salt on the shiny ones? Really because those are the set I keep the all-season tires on. I have Konigs with Nitto NT555 summer tires that get worthless below 60 deg. I switch to this set in October.

Thanks for the compliments
