what decals required for driven concours

[EdwardGT350]

looking thru the ECS decal and sticker catalog and just wondering which decals and wiring stickers are required for driven concours?
also which hang tags are recommended?
thanks

Good question, look forward to responses.

For a start for decals/stickers. I would expect they will be looking for

- The service spec decal in the engine compartment
- The battery inspection decal (be aware that the one for sale filled out is not correct for a San Jose car)
- Cubic inch decal for the air cleaner
- AUTOLITE service decal for the air cleaner also
- Tie down sticker
- Jack instructions
- Small rectangle sicker for the jack.
- Engine ID sticker
- Tire pressure decal (Mustang one) inside the glove box. Located correctly,  depending when your car was built
- If its a post May 66 built car they will likely be looking for the sticker on the master cylinder lid
- Radio suppressor label near the electrical plug at the voltage regulator


Remember that the coil + voltage decal were not labeled with a decal or sticker

Also all of the wire looms would have originally had a identification label and a assemblers sticker. Which ones they can see or will expect depends on the team and the make up of the team. Some of the more often seen include the taillight, engine feed, engine compartment, if an automatic car the one for the neutral safety switch,  main loom (under dash) windshield wiper motor loom.  Sure others will be able to name more - but those are the ones that come to mind at the moment


Some of the hang on tags that are for sale would have been removed before the car was sold to the first purchaser.

This is the most legible one I have handy





Again - Coil and voltage regulators did not have decals/stickers but instead were stamped with paint or ink




Sorry don't have a voltage regulator cover handy

The concours quality ones Virginia Mustang sells have a very accurate stamp plus it has the correct looking base and if I'm not mistaken solid state internals instead of mechanical relays. FYI you want the C5AF silver stamp for 66 GT350.

Another opinion, depending on what class your showing in or if you just want to keep/use an original base, is to purchase a repo and swap the covers. 

Done that a few times.

Thing the voltage cover is one of the few stamps I never took the time to redraw and make a stamp for though I can see a need for it in certain situations

Some vendors used to sell the covers separately.I don't know if they still do. For those reading regardless if using or buying a already stamped  separate cover or robbing one off of a new replacement you should consider the condition of the base . First it needs to be the original style with the a hole cut into the base surrounding the plug when inserted. The aftermarket versions just cut a large notch out of the base where the plug . That detail is easy to spot by a informed eye and a common thing missed by the uninformed. Second is the condition of the base. If the plating is worn then it will not match the patina of a new cover. Painting is a poor alternative IMO but it depends on your expectations . Lower expectations then show a painted base most likely will do fine . Given the nominal price of the concours reproduction regulator and the upgraded internals that many now have they are hard to beat all things considered.

Good idea 💡

I dont recall SAAC having a driven concours?

[Karguy]

Thanks for the information Bob! After re-reading your description of the reproduction voltage regulators offered by Virginia classic Mustang, I will purchase one from Brant for 281, should be exactly what I need.
