Rear Leaf Spring Centering Bolts

These Rear Leaf Spring Centering Bolts are certainly very unique parts. It is almost impossible to find used ones in good condition. They are now in stock, and they are exactly like the originals. Our leaf springs come with very similar bolts already installed, but the heads on the bolts are not as tall as the original ones.

This picture shows the bolts in our leaf springs (head is not as tall as original.)

Now, the question is exactly what do these bolts do? Well, they obviously hold the leaves of the springs together, but they are really centering bolts. They just "center" the leaf springs to the pad on the rear end housing (see picture with arrow.) This "centering" is just that-they just center or "line up" the leaf spring assembly. They serve no major purpose in holding the springs in the Mustang. The front bolts, rear shackle kits and U-bolts do this job.

65-66 Mustang Battery Tray

Unless you purchase one of our exact reproduction Autolite Batteries for your Mustang, the replacement battery will not have the "ledge" on the lower side of the case as shown . This "ledge" is necessary to secure your battery using the original tray and holddown clamp. If you don't have the proper battery; the original clamp does not secure it properly, and it simply is not very safe.

Our special 65-66 Battery Tray Kit has been a very popular part for good reason. It consists of a special battery tray that accepts the 67-70 style top holddown and bolts. I can remember many, many years ago welding tabs on an original tray in a 1966 GT350 Shelby just so we could use this type of set up. Now it is much easier. This is really a great idea and super product.

Our part number is EG2602.

Post Frequency

We have been posting 5 days a week since the Blog was started. Not that there is a lack of things to write about, but we think it will work better to just post 3 days a week.

Thanks to everyone reading. Please don't forget to email us if you would like to see your car featured!

Cool Commercial

Someone sent this to us in an email. We just thought it was pretty neat. It is a Ford Motor Company commercial. It is kind of long. Be patient though, it does have some Mustang content!

67 Mustang Console Plates

We have the 1967 Mustang Top Console Shift Plates. For your copy of the 2009 Virginia Classic Mustang parts catalog, click here.

Anyway, these are the plates that go on the top of the console and surround the shifter. They feature the correct brushed and chrome finish. They are really nice and are available for Manual and Automatic Transmission models.

65-66 Mustang 289 High Performance Clutch Equalizer Bar

Just a quick note about our 1965-66 Mustang Clutch Equalizer Bar for the 289 High Performance Model... There are actually three of them (that we know of) out there on the market. Unfortunately, the other two are not made correctly. One of them has the bottom pivot located at the wrong place, and the other has an extra "reinforcement piece" welded to it.

The one that we now handle is made and the USA and is a very close reproduction. Unfortunately, it is more expensive than the other two; but this is a part that must be made correctly.

It comes with the top block for use on the 1965 Mustang. This can be removed if you have a 1966 model.

Our part number is BK191.
