Correct tie downs for late 1966 Dearborn Mustang
« on: March 10, 2017, 08:38:33 AM »
 Does anyone have any images or confirmation of the correct tie downs used for a June, July, or August 1966 Dearborn Mustang? My car never had the original tiedowns but it's an something I would like to put back given I know the exact type.

For single exhaust, the short ones would be most common, but it wouldn't be unusual to see the long dual exhaust ones.

Consider this, parts not included on your car are not subject to be judged. Incorrect parts get points deductions. Just a thought.
