Hi again! Just a few observations and comments.Bob-no feelings hurt..Im not trying to send out wrong info,thanks for the correction.What has developed now is the real heart of the s2ms question..were there misbuilds? and why?And for Snakepit have you ever seen 6S003 ? It was owned by a guy from the L.A. area and was very well preserved original paint and all..dent in the drivers door..Karl ? bought it from Pete Brocks brother in law if memory serves.All this to say this was a low mileage untouched car,and it would make a nice sample of a carryover car.Also if you look up the mount in the Ford parts catalog there are different part numbers,maybe we could chase it as you suggested like with a build sheet reference?I still cannot imagine not wanting the strength in such a critical area.TRANS AM cars used aluminium plates as stiffeners/spacers under the brackets,and wired the bolts,but that is another subject. And to everyone Merry Christmas!! Have a Great New Year!!

P.D.
