Staggerd shock body bracket (70)

I was wondering if anybody happens to have the shock mount piece that is in the body between the 2 support channels? I have a cat needing a repair, and thought If I could see the piece out of the car I could get a better idea of what I need to repair. I have a 70Bosscat here that I can see the piece, but hoping …

Long shot!

Thanks!

Bill,

Here are some pictures of my Boss 302 Mustang on the rotisserie last year when I was cleaning up the underside. They should show what you need to see in the stagger shock area.

Brian,
whats to say? that car looks great! The panel looks a bit different all cleaned up! I did get lucky and find a panel that was cut from a Cat. I am going to pick it up soon and carefully “disect” it so I can take the shock barcket. This will give me the thickness and shape/angles for it.

Thanks Brian!
Keep up the good work.

P.S. What rotisserie are you using?

I wonder if just taking a right side shock mount and using it on the driver side would give the same effect?

Other end of the shock,the end in the body. Your right though, it uses the same side plate for the relocated shock, bottom end.

Thanks Bill,
I was really surprised how good the underside really was once I got it cleaned up. The quarter panels were replaced at some point on the Mustang, so I thought cleaning the underside was going to open a big can of worms. Scrapped the grease and grim off and a good power wash and some more sanding and it was ready for paint. Once In awhile you see that cross member for the stagger shock for sale out of a parts car. I was thinking someone was selling a repo version, but don’t remember what vendor.

I bought the Auto twirler plus a few years back before I started the XR7-G restoration. It more then paid for it’s self on the first car.
