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"/>

And the Quick Start Guide <img src="https://themustangsource.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=83022"/>
Tire Warranty Guide <img src="https://themustangsource.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=83023"/>
and Warranty Guide <img src="https://themustangsource.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=83028"/>

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

I'd like to get a true "Shop Manual" and not a CD if possible. I have one for all my vehicles.

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.

I purchased the DVD from Helm. Very useful, IMHO. The Wiring Diagram manual is not yet available - but should be soon.

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

I'm still not giving up hope I can buy a hardbound set. I just like the book to skim through.

I am not sure if Ford makes a hard bound manual for the techs anymore. I think for the most part it's all digitel, online or on a CD. A shop manual for one of todays cars would be massive because Ford does not make one for just say a BOSS 302. Anything specific to the BOSS would be a supplement to the mustang shop manual. When I bought one for my Lightning the CD covered all F series trucks and the Lightning was a small portion of it.

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

Does the Helm CD-ROM include Boss 302 specific information?

Mine is the same date/version. I can see the Wiring Diagram TOC but there is nothing when I try to click on any of the contents. This and Helm site says that Wiring Diagram has not yet been released. Maybe you somehow prelim version.... or I got stiffed!
