Dual Muffler brake line bracket

    Might anyone have an extra, original brake line

    bracket which terminates the front-to-rear brake line:

    it's located outboard of the driver muffler body mount.

    Am changing a transverse single mufflered A-code '66

    fb to a dual muffler setup.

    I did the same thing on my daughter's 66 restomod coupe ('91 GT EFI & AOD - with duals).


    I used the NPD bracket and it fit perfect - remove the rear seat - locate the stamped locating ridges in the floor pan - drill 2 small holes in the floor pan - have someone hold the bracket against the pan from the underside (USE GLOVES!)and plug weld it in place from the inside - looks almost factory! You could even bolt it in place if you want.

    Thank you for the quick come-back. NPD it is.


    Past experience with Viginia Mustang led me to them

    and I will be even more carefull in the buying of

    repro parts from now on. I could have made the

    pre-bent piece of strap iron they sent me: it even

    had a round hole which would have made it more

    dificult to tighten the connection at that point.

    They did credit me for the price when I voiced my

    displeasure in a phone call. Oh well, live and learn.


    Again, thanks!

    My bad, Brant!


    I just found the billing from Mustangs Unltd. with

    the rear brake line bracket included. Your order,

    including the 66 AM/FM radio--what a beaut!!!!,

    came in about the same time... :blush::blush::blush:


    Your standing as an excellent vendor is hereby

    reinstated, shouldn't have been impugned.:S

    OOPS!...


    NPD owned up to have nothing even close to

    concours, just a bent piece of strap iron with a

    round hole instead of an octagon hole for the brake

    line fitting.


    The search is still on....

    Sounds like YET another part is being produced to "cheap" or China quality standards.


    Keep looking around I'm sure you can find a bracket with the correct "D" hole. I do have to say that beyond the "D" hole for the brake line it is just a bent piece of metal with an angle cut on one corner.

    I'm in total agreement, and Ford is getting their cut

    from quite a few none-to-concours parts. It MIGHT

    show what Ford is really after....a money grab, not

    so much interest in keeping the old Mustangs on the

    road.


    With this in mind, I think we should be showing

    our wholehearted support to those good vendors who

    supply us and who are struggling to keep the name

    "Mustang" in their company title.
