Harness routing around the passenger shock tower
« on: November 04, 2021, 01:20:01 PM »
Just as stated in the subject. Looks like there are two harness retainers that hold the harness up on the passenger side shock tower. Since replacing the shock towers with new repros, I no longer have measurements for the new holes on where to drill. Can anyone supply measurements for these? Any reply is greatly appreciated!

I am seeing these holes on the original shock tower. Can anyone confirm the harness holders would go here?
Thx

Per the 70 (via your PM) Mustang Electric Assembly Manual (AM0033 pg5) those two holes use 1 each 95832-S strap to hold harness 14401 in place.

Yep, a 70' Jim.

Thanks so much to the both of you, as usual!

Approximate measurements with a two steel rules 

referance to the above picture.
front ot shocktower:  from inner fender to center of fastener 2.3" 
front ot shocktower:  from top of shocktower with 1/2 wide steel rule on it to the center of the fastener 7.5" 
inside of shock tower: from the top of the shocktower with a 1/2 " steel rule flat on the front top at an angle with the edge lined up for a veritcal measurement 1.5"
inside of shock tower: from the front of the shocktower with a 1/2" steel rule lined up with the edge lined up for a horizontal measurment 2.5" 

Not easy to measure, the measurments seemed repeatable, but probably +/- .050 to .100, I would have someone repeat my measurments to verifiy.  Alan
