That’s fantastic, I wish I had posted about this before I spent $80 for the two latches I ended up buying and only used the pins. Hopefully others will read and see this and save themselves some time & money. What really surprised me is why the replacement pins (by themselves) cannot be...

My Mach 1 was missing the metal pins required to un-latch the trap door into the trunk. I’ve been looking for new latches, but could not find anything for a 1971-73. Was only able to find for a 69-70 mustang from National Parts Depot, part 45704-2A for $38.90. So I bought two. Once I...

I thought about filing down a washer as you mentioned, that would allow for the outer tab to be bent up to form the locking tab, however with this washer, there is also an inner tab that fits into the grove of the hood pin shaft that keeps the washer from spinning. I’ve never seen a single...

My front passenger tire blew on the freeway while doing 65. Besides dealing with the damages and my insurance company, which I had to cover a major part of the costs myself, you should do yourself a favor and buy a new wheel.

The Scott Drake convex mirror works great for the passenger side. It can be easily applied over the existing mirror. Finally I’m able to drive my mustang with confidence, now being able to see something with that credit card sport mirror. One of the things I noticed in searching for the convex...

I own a 71 ford bronco which is insured with Hagerty. I also own a 71 Mach 1 which is insured with Geico, Hagerty would not insure my Mach 1 because I don’t have a locked garage to keep it in. Two weeks ago I blew the right front tire while driving in San Diego on the 5 freeway going 65 mph...
