    I've got one I bought from MPG Head in Colorado. It was for an early mustang. I had to cut 3/4" from each end and retap the left hand thread, since it didn't go all the way through. 1 hole on each side of the cowl lined up and I had to drill the other 1 per side. They have a web site. You might have to go to my images to see it.:)

    Don, did you have to bend the piece that bolts to the cowl lip? I think early Mustangs are flat in that area.

    Yes I did Barry. JUst used a set of channelocks. I like them cause all you do is loosen them and pull the pins and they come right off.:)
