Title: correct rear end snubber and bracket
Post by: imming1965 on January 09, 2026, 04:27:52 PM
I'm doing a little work on a very late 1965 GT350. It was restore back in 1987 and hasnt been started in years and I'm just getting it running and touching up a few things. I noticed the rear end didn't have and snubber bracket on rear end. I'm guessing its missing or maybe it isn't supposed to have one I'm not sure??? I have not done much work on these 65's so not up to speed on all the details. any one have picture of this area they would share? If it does need one I will be asking if someone might have one for sale...thanks Jeremy

Here is a ton of info on the pinion snubber - https://anghelrestorations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/pinion_snubber_v1.0.pdf (https://anghelrestorations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/pinion_snubber_v1.0.pdf)

Yes it would typically have a pinion shield and snubber from the factory.
