At the plant likely for lining up the sub-structure in a jig to produce a subassembly

Nothing attaches there on a completed Mustang

That was probably a stencil. You can make your own very easily

After cleaning the original screws up with a wire wheel they are in fantastic shape. Just treated with gun bluing followed by Boeshield which worked perfect for this purpose.

Thanks for all the info and help!

Qty 4. Would it be 2?  Maybe just a typo or mistake  since there was two used per car

Try Ford hardware Part number 357903-S2. It's used on 64 thru 66 Mustangs for the two end brackets, qty 4.

No and yes. Two "brackets" and four "screws" (unless you drop one or the other).

1970 Mustang / Re: 1970 convertible front bow weatherstrip. glue or no glue

« Last post by jwc66k on April 17, 2024, 12:45:29 PM »

One way to solve the dilemma is to use weatherstrip adhesive and make sure any adhesive that squeezes out is wiped off so it can not be seen. 

You bet. I prefer "3M Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive" - 08581 (2 oz tubes at Amazon, about $10). You can "attempt" to mask the area with blue painters masking tape.
(I use 3M08581 adhesive last weekend on a neighbors security light fixture that needed its "internals" attended to. The original fiber gasket was destroyed when it came apart.)

1969 Mustang / Re: Steering wheel

« Last post by Bob Gaines on April 17, 2024, 11:49:04 AM »

Something to consider when having a rim blow steering wheel restored is that most restorers are not aware that the assemblyline steering wheel plastic is not black but a very dark gray. It is meant to match the properly painted dark gray metallic steering column and dash paint. It only makes sense that the factory would match things up. The mis match of a fresh restored but done black wheel is very obvious when installed connected to a properly painted dark gray metallic steering column. If more people would request the right look then more wheel restoration companies would do it right. 9 times out of 10 I find this when concours judging a restored car. Yes there is a deduction although small.
