MKSpeedlab, Thanks for the info. I will give it another go before I take the grinder to them.

Geoff, thanks for the info. All a mystery. David, My Mach1 has the standard trim package. So it has the black steering column, black crash pad and glove box. Ginger vertical plastic either side of the radio. A ginger std 2 spoke wheel and the std ginger door trims with ginger carpet. Its...

Guys, Im still on a quest to figure out why the drivers seat belt in my 7/72 Mach 1 is different to all the others. I have taken a heap more pictures and found a video that explains the differences. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reUlxy7Vr48) Basically all belts other than the shoulder...

Thanks for the info.. Will give the grinder a go.

Tim, Thanks for the info. How did you get the old one out? Does it need an angle grinder on the ends? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Brendan

Gents, I need to replace the castor rod / strut rod end bushes on my 72 Mach 1. I managed to get the castor / strut rod off the lower control arm and out of the bushes. I have a Scott Drake rubber replacement kit for a 67 to 73 OEM Strut rod bushings for a mustang. (C60Z-3A187-A - This kit is...

Guys, While working in the engine bay looking for the engine number, I managed to break off the windshield washer water pipe that goes through the grommet in the bonnet. (Darn it). My question is.. Is this a grommet that a small length of pipe runs through, or is the rubber bung part of the...

David, Thanks for the info. I will remove the old crappy speakers and install new ones that don't look to modern, if I can find any. Brendan..

David, Thanks for the info. Most appreciated. My Marti report does not list any seat belt upgrade or battery upgrade. Now to find out where the square button belts came from. As for the hub caps.. Yes I have been warned about the lugs being broken off. I will probably remove them before I...

Thanks for the link to the web page to decode the numbers etc. Very helpful.

The trans is a FMX. Will have a look to see what I can find when I replace the rear gearbox mount. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the link to the other thread. I may look at one of the bluetooth/usb ones to install and replace the current speakers with decent ones.  Thanks again. Brendan.

Replaced rear shackles, replaced rear shockers, repaired / replaced bushes in the auto trans selector and serviced. Located engine number on the back of the block. Fairly busy day but productive.. See my blog for more detail. https://72mach1mustang.blogspot.com/

Update.. Found it.. Needed steel wool and a bit of water. There is a square block behind the kick down rod (of the auto) on the block. A bit of steel wool and elbow grease and a mirror fixed the issue. Happy to say a matching numbers engine to the car.

PKJ, Thanks for the tip. Will have a look to see what I can find. At least knowing where to search will make the finding easier. Will use the phone in selfie mode to see if I can find it. Fortunately for me, no master cylinder and the engine bay, while looking a tad rusty, has minimal gunk...

Hey guys, Oh so many questions.. Im new to the 71-73 scene.. Per my other posts, I have just picked up a 72 Mach1 H code. From what I can tell the engine is the original one.  Where is the most likely place for the body number to be stamped on the block? Drivers side and the back or...

Thanks guys. I do see the grill for a speaker in the dash. Will have to get in there and have a look. Will need to find some replacement speakers for the rear that look like they came from the 70's..  Would be nice to replace the plastics in the back as they look brittle and a bit scuffed...

Geoff, Thanks for the pics, They are really helpful. I will take some more of mine and share.

Thanks for the info Geoff. Re the spare tyre, I dont plan on using it and plan on putting a current tyre on it. Was just curious to see if it was a 1972 vintage..
