I've discovered that there are no holes in the replacement inner fender underneath the starter relay. Need to know what size and where to put the two holes for the D clips and the wire routing . Anyone (Jeff) of have a picture of this area?
I think I may have found a few posts that "had" pictures, but thank you Photobucket.
68 GT J code, Metuchen, convertible.
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks Jeff!

Here's a picture with everything removed. I think you can see the hole locations.
-
Thanks...even better. It looks like there's only on D clip under the solenoid?
-
The original question was for the location of the hole for the clip, 382184-S. Pictures are nice, but they don't tell a lot, like measurements. This could be answered by someone with a tape measure and a 68 Mustang doing some leg work. A different clip was used on a 67, 352541-S, but probably used the same size hole and location.

Jeez, talk about shaming!
Here's one I'm putting together now. Early April '68 NJ build

The holes would have been stamped at the plant so IMHO if the hole on my car was off by a 1/4" I wouldn't suggest moving it. Not like he's making a inner fender panel ;)

Think suggesting exact measurements and using the term "probably" are very consistent :) Think the PS would be better served with the same plant and year just in case ::) JMHO

Thanks Charles. I thought there were two clips as I see in your photo. Curious, what's the white strap on the right. Another curiosity, I do not have the block (not sure what it's called) for the convertible top that I see in your picture to the left of the solenoid. Is it possible that I never had one, or did it possibly get moved by a PO?
-
I'm not sure what white strap you're referring to??
The junction block on the lower right is for the power top. Since this is a '68 Shelby, the block up top by the solenoid is for the ammeter wiring.
-
I guess the white strap is the junction block for the power top.
Do judges carry tape measures....LOL :P I think if I get them close, I'll be good to go.
-
Ah, yeah. I believe that has to be fixed too, where the center is punched through the stud.
I doubt any judge would know the exact location. If you can wait until after the weekend, I can put a tape measure on it.

Thanks Charles! :)

1/4" drill bit was just the right size for the "D" ring.
