65-68 Export brace
« on: August 19, 2019, 09:20:01 AM »
Looking to swap a 65-68 ONE piece export brace (black-repo) for the 69-70 two piece style. I will pay the freight.

Export braces are either 1965-66 or 1967-70. There is a difference in bolt spacing at the cowl.

If it helps, the part I have is a c5zz-16a052-e which is Black Export Brace, and per Scott Drakes and CJ Pony's info, is for all 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969 and 1970 Mustangs.  However the part I NEED is a C9ZZ-16A052-PR which is the 2 piece system, and is for a 69 Shelby GT500

Are you in search of a driver and passenger side shock tower braces with reinforcements? Picture lifted from http://anghelrestorations.com/index.html

The Shelby export braces had the different spacing. The 67/68 style one piece export brace will work with 65-70 regular Mustang.

I do need BOTH right and left side for a 69 GT500.
It would not be complete with just one side so yes.
