You need to talk to Kirk Evans. He built the car and must have the part he needs.

>Ok, so my buddy with the GT5S, ordered and got his EBC brake pads and they fit 
like a charm.  Now he noticed that he is leaking fluid out of the shuttle valve 
and he says he sees a crack right where the stop light switch screws into it.  
Checking the parts catalog he sees that the GT5S valve has a different part # 
than a Ford era Pantera.  He has called most of the vendors and so far can not 
find one for a GT5S.
>
>So, the questions are: Is there a difference between the two shuttle valves?  
And, does anyone out there happen to have one of them laying around?
>
>If we can't find one, I told him that we can re-plumb the system like I did on 
mine and get rid of the shuttle valve and stock prop valve and install a regular 
T- block and an adjustable prop valve.  He would like to stick with what was 
original to the car though, so now the search begins!

>I am off to the garage to see if I saved my old shuttle valve off my 74 L.  I 
am pretty sure that I gave it away to someone though.
