Can I ask how did you attach the oval? Is it staying on ok?Don’t think I payed more than 50 bucks for mine. The hardware is also optional but helps. They’re asking way to much for some bolts and nuts that also come 4 to a pack when you order them. Still have 6 bolts in my tool box. Now I also added a badge to mine just to set it apart seeing it’s a collector’s item now!
I attached the oval by punching some strategically placed holes for the mounting bosses to go through then used a crap ton of hot glue and also filled the holes I punched before sticking it on. Has been on about a year now and still holding well. I was going to use the push nuts on the bosses from the back but have not needed to do so as it’s holding fine.
BUT...it's sure to add several HP by "smoothing" the airflow over the top of the engine. All those peaks and valleys and hoses n stuff sticking up must trap air, thus slowing down the truck.
I glued a screw to the back of the oval and put it through the foam with a nut and washer on the back. It should never come out. I also used a silver sharpie on the eco boost letters. Thanks for the great idea.
Looks great.So I read guys were getting misfire codes if water gets into the spark plug holes. My 21 LX came with no engine cover. So I headed to ebay and bought one for $99 with included hardware from Rod Baker Fordstores.com ....heres what you get / do ....VERY basic but I figured a few may be interested. J
Where did you get the hand nuts? Looks like a worthwhile upgrade!Here's my finished install with 7-lobe hand nuts. They fit perfectly.
Thank you for the information! I ordered a set.@NeilP,
Here's the source. I also used 1/16" thick x 1/2" diameter rubber washers under the hand nuts to keep them from loosening.
