Who was confused? Seemed pretty straightforward to me.The Shelby drop was invented by Carroll Shelby to improve the handling on his GT 350 and was never intended to be used on a 67 and up. That's why there is confusion about where to drill the holes on the 67 and up.

and roller idler arm too. I`ve got manual steering just trying to make it a little easier, probably fixing to order the adj strut rods too. I got all my stuff from Opentracker, he`s good and wont sell ya anything ya dont need.
Yesterday I finished por-15 treatment in my shocktowers, got my control arms in, disc brakes on and plummed (master cyl, prop valve), one coil, and one shock. Putting stuff back together sure is more fun then gutting and detailing stuff.
I think Opentracker rollers were $199.
Very nice article. I like the photo showing the new holes. My car is a 70 model. Did you use your roller spring perch in that swap and how much are your roller perches?
but it was Carroll who actually put it to use first. That's why it is called the Shelby drop.
It was designed to be used on the 65-66 Mustangs, not the later models.

Hello Day. Sounds like you are having a good day. I just now got my disk brake kit. Now, it's grease under the fingernails time.If you read my post I said that. “passed the information on to Shelby who did the mod tell mid year in 66” Also as far as the name “Shelby Drop” if you do a search for “Shelby Drop” on the internet you will find many who call it the “Arning Drop” or the “Mustang UCA Drop”
You are correct it was designed for the first generation mustang... hmmm basically said that too.
any way the suspension is almost the same on a first generation mustangs and later models through 70 especially in regards to the mounting location of the UCAs, so it is doable and people have been doing it for years.
there is no confusion if you look at the template pictured below out of the Tony Branda catalog there is info out there showing exactly where to drill the holes

Here is a PM I got from Cyclone yesterday. I'm not sure what to think of it.
To say your part is 50 times the quality than someone elses is saying a lot.
Actually, as has already been pointed out Carroll Shelby never invented the "drop"The Shelby drop was invented by Carroll Shelby to improve the handling on his GT 350 and was never intended to be used on a 67 and up. That's why there is confusion about where to drill the holes on the 67 and up.
I got Degins (Dennis) kit. Looks like it is all there and all I need to do is take my Advil and Glucosamine and get to work. Both those templates look the same to me. What is the difference between the 65-66 and the 67 up template?which disc brake kit did you go with? There are two templates in the picture 65-66 on top and 67-70 on the bottom
