battery bracket
« on: October 11, 2014, 03:24:13 AM »
Can somebody confirm of this bracket is the original one, or an aftermarket not concours correct one?
I think it is not.
According the Osborne book it must be art. number C5AB-10756 and by looking at the picture, the tie down arms aren't rectangular?
Another question is how do yo know, by looking at that number, which finish it has to be? Paint, phosfate,....
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,

Not factory. You can look a npd online catalog to see a picture of the correct shape for 67-69.
