The Hood Latch Catch is also available for the 67-68 Mustang.  It is part number EG-3543.  The catch for these models mount on the support brace in front of the radiator support.

There are and have been various manufacturers of Windshield Washer Bags reproduced over the years.  We have only handled the ones from a manufacturer that is really super nice.  We have had great luck with these washer bags over the years.  The material, grommets, printing, etc. are correct, and I would not hesitate using any one on any Mustang from a driver to a super, detailed show car.

So, which one do you need?  Well, we list one for a 64 1/2-65 Mustang, one for a 66 Mustang, and then one for an early 67 Mustang.  Actually, the applications overlap somewhat.

We have seen the early style, twist cap one used on early production 66 Mustangs.  The Gold Lettered FoMoCo Washer Bag was first used on the late production 66 Mustangs and continue into early production 67's before the plastic jug started being used.
