67-70 Shelby Upper Shock Brackets - wrong

[Bob Gaines]

Here are some 67-70 upper shock brackets that are made wrong because the seller used the larger diameter frame rail washers typically used on the steering box or idler arm. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-1968-1969-1970-Shelby-Mustang-Shock-Tower-Caps/193688867749  . As you can see they look close.  They are too large in diameter compared to genuine. This the shortcut many choose to use. AMK sells the correct size washers if you want to make some like the factory did . The assemblyline washer is approximately 28.5 MM and the frame rail washers are approximately 32. It is a small amount but visually noticeable. It made me go hmmmm when I saw the auction. Most people would not notice the difference but many who use and have been around these parts will. This is a case of go home and try again.

65/66 fine thread. 67-70 coarse thread.

I think cobranda is selling the repros with the right washers. And for the 67 Gt500/ GT350 not all cars had the brackets with the washers so if your car dont has them it could be also original.

Kent ,the thread subject is about the correct washers on the brackets not when the engineered for 67 Shelby brackets were left off so trolling for drama is not constructive or appreciated.
