Hi team.
I am rebuilding a half finished project I imported from the States. The car was fully assembled running example prior to the USA owner having it stripped for panel and paint 5+ yrs ago. All the parts were supposed to be with the vehicle however a lot are missing.
I have purchased a lot of new parts from CJ's, Stang-a-holics, Dallas Mustangs and Rock Auto but for the life of me cannot locate some items that do not appear to have been reproduced.
Car is missing the underbody trans tunnel reinforcement plate. There is a mustang mercury website proclaiming to have an aftermarket plate for mercury/mustng (thinner than original) for 69-73 mustangs that looks identical to the 69-70 one sold by CJ's however when I emailed CJ's about the 71-73 they said they did not stock it and the 69-70 plate was different to the 71-73 so am a bit confused and reluctant to buy the one from the mercury site and freighting it to NZ to find it wont fit.
Same for the C4 gearbox trans tunnel bracket. That is missing but cannot find a 71-73 bracket, plenty of reproduction 66-70 brackets on websites.
Last difficult item to find new is the plastic splash shields under the front guards. Plenty of new earlier models available but cant find any on the parts sites for the 71-73
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. I would prefer new
Cheers
Steve
