    1971 A/C Idler Pulley Bracket

    How do you install center dash panel

    Thanks everyone for responding to my post. My center 3 gauge panel has two holes between the map light and A/C vent that line up with the two holes in my metal dash (See pic below. Holes I'm talking about are circled in red). Not sure if this is one of the differences between 1971, 1972 and...

    1971 Convertible Lower Seat Platform Reproduction

    The body shop is tearing out my poorly patched, rusted floors and told me I need to replace the lower seat platform that mounts under the floor. The pic I posted below if for a 65 - 68. Is there one reproduced for the 71 - 73 Mustang convertibles? If not, would a 65 - 68 work with some mods? Thanks

    Emergency Brake - Piece Fell Out But Where Does It Go????

    Thanks Don! I put the pawl back in place but noticed it kept falling out. No sign of the spring so it must have disintegrated. I soaked it in Krud Kutter. Can you tell me what you used to lube up your emergency brake and do you know if the spring is available? Is the spring held in by anything...

    OK, I think I figured out where this part goes from looking at other pics of emergency brakes. Looks like it should go back in where I have circled the brake below in red. Will give it a try.

    Emergency Brake - Piece Fell Out But Where Does It Go????

    Thanks for replying but I removed the rubber bumper before I soaked the part. The part that fell out is made of metal and came out when I turned the lever towards the ceiling. I wonder if something broke off since this was so rusty?

    Emergency Brake - Piece Fell Out But Where Does It Go????

    I soaked my very rusty emergency brake and got it clean. When I flipped it over to rinse it off and dry it, a piece fell out and I'm not sure where it goes. I also noticed the handle and arm don't spring back to position like they used to since this piece fell out. I have attached some pictures...

    71Convert Restoration Project Progress

    I also found out my engine is original as my VIN is stamped on the rear of the engine! That was a nice surprise. The tranny appears to be an FMX not the original C6 but I need to go back to the shop and verify that. Below are engine and tranny related pics.

    How should a convertible top switch feel when you use it????

    My 71 convertible is completely disassembled and I am working on restoring the dash while the metal work is getting done. As a result, I can't try the convertible top switch to see if it works. I am worried it may have issues because when I move the convertible top switch lever one way, it...
