      New Brackets

      Finally got some of these brackets that go on the A post splash panel. Had to get them made in the end as could not get any anywhere. Been holding the job up getting these sorted , but pleased i've got some now even though you don't really see them. Does anyone know what purpose they serve? I heard they were used by Ford to lift the shell up when on production line prior to wings being fitted.....

        I asked a while ago and all anyone come up with was they gave strength to the panel!

        Would seem a very odd place to lift a heavy shell!

          They look good! I cut the ones on my sport off as they were too rusty to do anything with, not replaced them with anything though. How much did they cost to have made?

                  That's for a pair Stu , there's a bit of work involved when you look at them. To be fair nearly all new parts are expensive for our beloved cars now

                    Yeah they are complicated bits of metal to shape. Havn't attempted to make any for mine.

                          Cheers Davey,
                          Hopefully it will be better than Ford built

                                Those brackets really do look spot-on!
