Title: export brace added stiffeners?
Post by: JessC on June 22, 2019, 11:13:26 AM
I'm getting ready to add my export brace to  my car. Question is I see  a weld in support on top where  export brace sits.Is there a plate on the underside to make mounting like a sandwich  style stiffening ?
Thanks
Jess

I think you need to post a picture of what you are seeing. It maybe something that someone else (not Shelby) has added. The reason is because a 67 Shelby does not have a welded in support on the cowl for the export brace. 65/66 had a welded in extra support but not 67/68.

No extra support in the cowl area on a 67 Shelby. They are the same as any regular Mustang off of the line in the cowl area.

No secondary bracket like the earlier vehicles. Don't let NPD's catalog fool you either.
