LARIAT 85 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Thanks to Rembrandt, I finally got a 1983 style air cleaner decal that actually fits the air cleaner. This is the style I originally wanted, but the multiple ones I purchased in the past just didn't fit right. So I ended up using the 1984/1985 style which fit perfectly the first time. I like this style well enough, and I suppose it is actually the "correct" style for a 1985 model Ford. Anyway, I put the decal on a chrome [Mustang SVO] air cleaner lid, and I think it gives the air cleaner a totally different look. But now I can't decide which style I like better. What do you think? 1983 (with chrome SVO lid): 1984/1985 (with stock aluminum lid): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Rick - I know how much you like originality, but since neither of them are original I went for the chrome one as I think it is prettier. (But you need a different nut for that one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a chrome style wingnut that came with the lid, but it isn't the OEM style two-piece "locking" wingnut that prevents damage to the lid.

At least in the photos! Both look good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I prefer the full black band decal, on either cover myself. That's what I have on my '84. Both of them are cool though, in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
