I purchased a 2nd torsion rod for our 73 Mach 1 after I installed a wing spoiler. WCCC has them, used of course. Be forewarned, the torsion rod for a Cougar does not fit the Mustang application, despite being the same year. Go ahead, ask how I know this. I found out after the fact that the online description actually says something about that. I had overlooked it. If you had a 73 Cougar I would gladly give it to you. But, if you need one for a Mustang, WCCC is where I would begin to look. He deals a lot with Cougars, hence the reason for my warning, so you don't do like I did. heh heh...

Following is the link for the 71-73 Cougar. They do not have Mustang rods listed currently. But if you emailed or called I bet they could either score one for you or tell you where to get one.

I will do some digging for a part # and do a search, then share that info with a comment later in this thread.

[QUOTE="mrgmhale, post: 450063, member: 7171"] I purchased a 2nd torsion rod for our 73 Mach 1 after I installed a wing spoiler. WCCC has them, used of course. Be forewarned, the torsion rod for a Cougar does not fit the Mustang application, despite being the same year. Go ahead, ask how I know this. I found out after the fact that the online description actually says something about that. I had overlooked it. If you had a 73 Cougar I would gladly give it to you. But, if you need one for a Mustang, WCCC is where I would begin to look. He deals a lot with Cougars, hence the reason for my warning, so you don't do like I did. heh heh...
