Is the Service Manual Available Yet for the Boss 302?
I'll be waiting a few months for my Boss, so I thought I'd buy the Service Manual for some "light reading". In the "old days", there was an address in the owners manual to which you would send $100-ish and you'd get a couple hard copy service manuals.
For my recent GT, I think they switched to CD's / DVD's (I prefer hardcopies
).
I did a search on the forums and couldn't find anything on the Boss Service Manual.
Is the Service Manual available yet?
Thanks.

EDIT: Link hopefully fixed.
Here's the Boss supplement. <img src="https://themustangsource.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=83021"/>

In case the links don't work, search for the thread "2012 owners guide is out"

Agreed. I prefer a hard copy manual, as well.

I bought one, but not have had time to look at it.
I was told that the digital was the only way to get it.
I will let you know what it looks like when I have a chance to look at it.
I am on a work trip and did not bring it along. Wanted to but forgot it.

My Helm CD has the wiring diagram manual included. The CD says "2012 Service Information - April 2011 Version 1.0"

If you want a paper copy get the CD print out the pages you want and then put them in a binder. That way you can get only the info you want.

we do have the hardbounds still but the preferred way of accessing everything is online. Hardly any of us use the hardbound manuals at all. I'll copy down the number for the hardbound for you guys at work today
