Rear tie Brackets

(1/2) > >>

Keithc8:
 I have a 68 KR and 69 GT-500 and I just noticed that I put the tie down straps on them different. Should they go inside the rear strings or out side the rear springs. It looks like they could go either way but I know that only one way is probably correct. I do not know if it matters if the car had single or duel exhaust or not. Also if there is any correct way to install the bolts.

Thanks, Keith Craft

Inside the springs. I usually see the bolts from the outside pointing in but I would think either is acceptable based on how/where/why they were installed

Keithc8:
 Thanks, looks like I have them on the 68 right and the 69 wrong.

Keith ,FYI the long ones are for the duel exhaust and the short ones are for single exhaust. Just in case your not sure. Bob

Keithc8:
 Do have the long ones but have wondered what the short ones were for. I thought it might have been earlier cars. Glad to know for sure now.

Thanks, Keith
