Can someone post a pic of the  reinforced beehives/upper shock brackets(reinforced front upper shock mounts) that are mentioned in this thread? Thanks. Gary

     Does your example have "Heli-Coil" inserts installed; and if so, then were the washer additions threaded originally?      ???

Scott ,original reinforced brackets simply had washers welded on to unmodified Mustang brackets.There was no other modification with the threads.

There are some really good detailing pics.

Sounds pretty good when you run it but I wonder if it starts right up like that hot in those 100 degree summer days?
I do not know about everyone else but I do not drive my car when it is 100 degrees outside! ;D

Yes that one is heli-coiled to use with 3/8" bolts for competition use. The flat washers are not normally threaded but those are the 67 beehive.



The '68 I have as smaller diameter (OD) washers. The 67s are larger.

67-70 reinforced upper brackets typically all the same size washer. You should not be able to tell from construction from one year to the other.

Not typical IME

May have been apart and cleaned or rodded at some point for maintenance purposes but can't be certain about that given the pictures

Yes plenty of nice clear pictures but of course what we would expect on car with its history, write up and seller :)

Is it typical to have the bottom of the transmission stamped like that?

I'd love to know the date code on that bell? Did I miss that pic Vern? Maybe I got blurry eyed?

Thanks, I figured that was it as I have those on my 70 and also on my old 68. I went looking at the some other 67 Shelbys on BaT and they all seemed by the pics to have the non washer variety so it made me question if I was looking at what many were saying here.  Gary

     Maybe I'm just not seeing it correctly but what are the numbers stamped into the top of the shock tower?      ???
