Looking for photos -1966 San Jose unrestored coupe trunk
« on: December 09, 2017, 04:32:13 PM »
I'm looking for photos of the trunk for a 1966 Mustang - San Jose built coupe (mid-May build). Hoping to restore the trunk area over the winter (as well as a few other projects). Specifically, fuel filler rubber hose, clamp placement, and how the mat is was cut under the spare tire. I saw the previously jack thread and now realize I have the correct jack and wrench.

I looked through google and this site and didn't find what I was looking for.

Thanks!

These didn't help?

Trunk area of spring or later San Jose coupe or convertible

Filler neck rubber section. Though 65 focused the details are the same I believe

Starting with that we'll work to fill in the gaps between those and what other details you need.  Lots of little details such as quarter extension studs and nuts that were discussed a little while back, luggage protectors, ........

Yes, I came across those. Many of the images in the first link are no longer available. My main questions are below based on the pictures.

1. For the San Jose filler neck hose - does anyone know where the lines/auotlite logo are supposed to be oriented - toward the front or back of the car. Looks like from the picture - they would be oriented toward the front of the car. Here's the link to the hose I'm planning to use. https://www.npdlink.com/store/products/mustang_hose_fuel_tank_to_filler_pipe-106704-2851.html

2. Also filler neck hose clamps oriented toward the spare tire is not necessarily consistent with what I had been thinking. Is there a standard one should follow when installing the clamps?

3. Is the length of filler neck hose - approx  3 1/4" based on the last link above? The one from NPD needs to be trimmed.

Thanks!

That's interesting. Can see all of them (still on Photbucket) except for the second picture. Will copy and relink to fix. Might be a browser difference.

Note first post in that thread is rebuilt - will fix the other later.

1. For the San Jose filler neck hose - does anyone know where the lines/auotlite logo are supposed to be oriented - toward the front or back of the car.

Have not seen any pattern to the orientation of the stripes and can't think of a reason why a worker would need to do that a particular way. Clamps are different since that can be a luggage or other issue. Have not found any nor seen any with a FoMoCo or Autolite mark on them if original. The red striping does not match what has been found on unrestored cars that I've viewed or owned
 


2. Also filler neck hose clamps oriented toward the spare tire is not necessarily consistent with what I had been thinking. Is there a standard one should follow when installing the clamps?

Believe the Assembly Manual describes where Ford wanted them. But will grab and post a collection of these (which will show the rubber hose section also) and follow up


3. Is the length of filler neck hose - approx 4"? The one in the link above has to be trimmed.

In that tread I measured the ones I had access to that moment

Just happened to go out tonight to go through some boxes of parts. Here is what I found
Two originals from 65-66 San Jose cars both the stripe(s)  both measured about 3 1/4"
Had one NOS C4GY filler hose (with out a strong or visible white stripe but still the expected texture to the surface) also measuring about 3  1/4"

Thanks - I can see the images now.

I believe the original filler hose on my car had some kind of spiral pattern on it - like the one from NPD. Maybe it had been replaced at some point, but I thought it was original. I was getting a strong gas smell my mechanic recommended replacing it and I let him - that's why I don't have a picture of mine.

I will double check the new one on my car, but I think it's closer to 4"  - 3 1/4"  looks closer to the ones in the threads - I think I may need to cut it down.

As promised here are some examples of the rubber hose look and details as well as the wire clamp orientation for you to consider. Have another 1000 cars I could look through by thing this may be enough. 

Even if the clamps have been removed on some examples you can still make out how the clamps were installed by the depression in the rubber surface. Looks pretty consistent (clamps not white stripe on the hose)  within a fairly short range.  Didn't find any that would suggest red stripe or writing. 

Sorry didn't put them in possible production order

6R07C20219x



6S1203x



6S98xx



6R08C12251x Looks like the orientation may have been changed. Looks like a possible new gas tank



6R08A1174xx



6R07T22381x



6R07T20673x



6R07T16900x



Hope this helps

Thanks, that's helpful. Do you know the length of the filler hose. I feel like the ones that can currently be purchased are too long.
