Re: 67 Shock Tower Bracket

All of the Shelby's 65-70 should have the reinforced shock brackets as
should all export cars of the same year. The 67-70 Shelby's and export
cars did not recieve the additional firewall reinforcement like the
65/66 cars. Since humans are involved mistakes happen as in the case of
a lot of 67 cars that even though received the one piece heavy steel
shock tower brace, they "mistakenly" did not receive the reinforced
shock brackets. I believe it was a supply issue (lack of finished
brackets)like which happened with other Shelby items in 67. Remember
that the brackets were a Ford assembly line issue,if this was something
that was done at Shelby they (mistakes) would have been a lot more
frequent. BG
