1967 Mustang / Re: 67 Remote view mirror glass date code
« Last post by Murf on April 25, 2024, 05:33:54 PM »Mirrors can be identified by understanding a few simple rules. If the mirror is marked with "DMI" it was supplied to Ford by "Donnelly Mirror INC". The first number identified the month produced. The DMI is Donnelly company, and the second number gives the year. There was a second supplier to Ford named "AJAX" and the mirrors they supplied were coded in the following way: First symbol will be a letter of the alphabet indicating the MONTH (January would be indicated by "A" . "B" would indicate February and so on) The letters JX will follow the month, and the last two numbers will indicate the year. (67) so you would see a mark such as A-JX-68 for a mirror coded January of 1968 and manufactured by Ajax INC. Hope this in some way helps you identify at least two sources of outside mirrors and the manufacturers marks and date coding

Thanks Mike. I'll be curious what you discover. I'm wondering how are the factory inserts put into the door and how are they supposed to stay still, not rotate. Seems that is a common problem. I also can't tell how to remove the factory inserts without enlarging the hole and beating up the door. If you have any thoughts on either that would be great.

1964 1/2 - 1965 / Re: 65 spare tire - pin or hook?
« Last post by jwc66k on April 25, 2024, 04:49:49 PM »The 1965 Mustang Body Assembly Manual (AM0006) pg 86 (the page number is blurred on my copy - ref N5-8930) shows the addition of the spare wheel plate, C5ZB-1424-A, and "hook" bolt, C5AB-1448-B, both with an effective date of 10-9-64.
This does not really establish an absolute date, but a Ford engineering change to an assembly line procedure. We know that Ford used up existing items in many cases.

Wondering what you ultimately did to install your driver side mirror. I have mine off. The rear insert spins completely. The front one spins a quarter turn. I'd like to replace both of them with nutsert. What tool do you have and what size nutsert did you use?

« Last post by J_Speegle on April 25, 2024, 04:13:48 PM »If your looking for an exact date we will not have that since we don't have real build dates for any of these early cars and if possibly varied a little depending on car assembly plant. We see that your likely looking for NJ built data
Yes there is a running changes thread on the subject by plant unfortunately given the area most of the NJ cars were sold to and the resulting rust in many of the examples we don't have as much examples that have not been repaired or restored. For example we've got San Jose (so far) down to late Jan 65 so basically early Feb is in the possible range also.

Comfortweave was not used on convertibles (including Mustangs)
GT500 KRs fastbacks with black interiors got the comfortweave
There was no saddle comfortweave in Shelbys

1967 Mustang / Re: 67 Coupe trunk filler panel
« Last post by Bob Gaines on April 25, 2024, 03:18:50 PM »The thickness of the Masonite used in the factory installed filler boards seems to be unobtainable. Has anyone found a source for what I measured as 3/16" ? The current available reproductions are a bit thicker than the originals.The material available today is probably a metric equivalent . There are examples of other repro parts that are slightly thicker, larger etc. and the explanation by mfg's when asked has been that it is a metric equivalent of what is available. This all started about 25 years ago or at least when I started to first notice changes in different repro parts.
