- or is it "Old, New" guy? In any case I'm here. In all reality I am a refugee from the Hi-Po forum as many others whose user ID's I recoganize here. I do have a 66K GT Fastback with the Pony interior and a C4 auto as well as 65 GT Fastback, both in the garage and a 66 hardtop (parts car, all the stuff that got replaced on the other two may wind up here) on the side yard (double covered), and I have a 66 GT350 I'm storing for a friend behind the hardtop. This time around I got into Mustangs about 1988 but I've owned new a 66 Fastback and 69 Sportsroof in the past plus others I've bought used, tinkered with a bit and sold in better shape than when I got them. I'm a MCA member, non-practicing 64 thru 66 judge, a local Mustang club member (Vintage Mustang Owners Association, San Jose, CA area) and gamefully retired from the hi-tech madness that permeates Santa Clara Valley (aka Silicon Valley). I got into restoring Mustang hardware when I went into a local (now closed) Mustang related store and asked the counter guy for a - "bolt that holds the clutch return spring bracket to the brake pedal support bracket." He replied, "Mister, I got no idea what you're talking about". Well, he didn't, but I found out, and created a hardware database for 64 to 73 Mustangs that currently has over 9400 items from various sources. It's an ongoing battle. Oh, that bolt is p/n 43490-S8, a 5/16-18X3/4hex with a split lock washer used only on 64 to 68 MT brackets, but it is identical (ex head marking) to 42789-S8 used on 64-73 AT's and MT's (ex T-10).
I'll post car pictures when I get this new computer straightened out -
Oh, and I sign my name to every post -
