Parts for Sale / 1965-1966 Mustang Tail Light Panel Trunk Latch Support Brace

I'm attempting to get more organized and found this trunk latch support. They are all over ebay but thought the date of 8 15 might fit someone's build.

Just checking to see if you still have the 390 GT dipstick or tube.

Thanks for your offer Bob.  The projected build of my car is Aug 12, '66 so your 3 blades may be a bit late, but I appreciate you for looking.

I thought so but maybe someone else seeing your ad may have interest. Best of luck with your search.

I must have got lucky, sent mine to Tim Lancaster at Classic Carb Restorations in North Carolina for a rebuild and it came out of the box running great, no issues with it.

There is always that one guy.

After working dozens of hours on a C8ZF-D 4300, finally threw in the towel and installed a Holley, engine runs perfect.  Couldn't get a smooth idle with the 4300 no matter what I did.

1968 Mustang / Re: Spare Tire Trunk/Gas Tank Board

« Last post by RoyceP on May 06, 2024, 11:09:14 AM »

Thanks to David Knab for the picture of the trunk board.

Although it's a minor detail, I want to install a trunk board in our 1968 Metuchen Coupe.  After reading some of the associated posts, the board was intended to protect the tank from the jack (?).  Can anyone tell me what the board was made of, and the dimensions?  I haven't found any in supplier websites and it seems easy enough to make.  I have the original trunk mat, and want to add the board. 

Thanks everyone.

The board appears to be made from scrap from the fabrication of the rear window filler board. I usually use originals, I don't have one to measure right now but it is around 10" by 12". The material is what I would call fiberboard, it is 1/4" thick and sold at any big box store or hardware store.
