Reinforcement pans |
This is what was left of one of the reinforcement pans. It still was able to
tell me a lot when compared to the new reproduction pans. |
Above you will see the reinforcement pans that I purchased from Lancaster mustang.
The price was excellent but if this was a concours restoration they would be
totally unexceptable. The access holes were off by up to 1/2" from their proper
location and the biggest flaw is they angle slighty when installed to the floor
because the floor has a slight outward angle from the tunnel. The factory pans
have a slight angle built into the longer wall to compensate for this and make
them lay flat across the bottom from side to side. Below is another replacement
pan from another parts supplier that has the angle in the side. |
