Staggerd Shock Plate 1969 R-Code
« on: August 24, 2016, 10:47:47 PM »
Hey guys, I hate to bother for help again, but I can't seem to find the measurements for the staggerd shock plate. I posted a week or so back for some other measurements that I have since found online, but no luck with the Staggerd Shock plate. As I stated before, I had all the measurements written down in a binder which I can not find. If I had the measurements of the hole the plate sits down in that the shock comes up through, that would even work. Does anyone have the measurements they would be willing to share? Thanks

I apologize, I should have been more clear. I am talking about the plate that is welded to the car that the shocks go up into.

Maybe this video will be of some help at the 2:30 minute mark.   Just remember the original hole was blown out with a torch.

Couple more pictures of original cars (69 Dearborn April built cars)  and thanks to Armond for reminding us that the Mustang floor pans were cut out with a torch





If you want it all to look factory don't follow all the details offered in the video ;)

Yes, that's why it's so odd to see that ever so slight jog in the bottom line of the template.
Who's going to be able to duplicate that with a torch?
I'm not seeing the point of not having a straight line.
On a side note, why is it every time I paint in my back yard, my parts get more flies on them than the deuces the dogs drop? >:(

Ok, I am going to tell on myself here....   :D... I saw Jeff's pictures and then started watching the video and thought... "Wait a minute Shane you big dummy, you welded the bottom plate in already". When I got the other rear transition pan out of another non staggerd shock car I had them side by side and welded the bottom plate in place..! Well now I should be able to cut the hole out from the bottom and be good to go! Thanks guys and sorry to waste your time, but it did help!

No waste - at minimum you may have saved someone else in the future from doing the same thing
