1967 Shelby GT350/500 / front lower Shelby shoulder harness bolts and repro scuff plates
« on: June 10, 2021, 06:18:31 PM »
Hello everyone.
I am hoping for some guidance and help regarding some parts.
First question I am looking to purchase some reproduction scuff plates what type would you recommend based on fit and finish are best and where is best to buy them from I was looking at the ford tooling aluminum Daniel carpenter ones however I always value the opinions of people on this site that have a wealth of knowledge.
My second question is regarding the front lower 67 Shelby seat belt bolts. I have purchased all new seat belt bolts from Amk however after looking at the ford manuals and the Shelby assembly manual the bolt looks different as to what was used for the rear seat belts. It appears longer and to have less of a shoulder on the bolt, if you try to used the same seat belt bolts as the rear the spacer used between the harness belt anchor and the lap belt anchor will not go over the threads (the bolts to big or the spacer is to small on the id) so I looked in the manuals and the bolt that looks like what was used on the Shelby mustangs and factory mustangs with the shoulder belt option is longer and thinner.
The part number in the ford and Shelby manuals is #381873-s100 however I can not appear to find them anywhere. Does someone have a photo of the bolts used from factory and where I can find them as I have taken mine out and put them somewhere safe while cleaning my seat belts and can not find them again
Any help is much appreciated as always.
Many thanks and stay safe.
Dave
