68 GT500 Battery Tray
« on: July 11, 2018, 11:38:06 PM »
Rather not go the repop route on this. Any good used ones out there?

There is a difference between tilt and non-tilt trays, no?

Thanks

No . The poster on the other site where you saw that was mixing a 68 version up with a 67. No difference on 68's.

Pete ,I agree with you for 1968 as I posted before . However in 1967 the battery trays had a series of indexing holes (one set for each different possible available engine)pre punched for tilt vacuum cans mounted on the battery tray support. It later evolved to no holes when the vacuum cans were re positioned under the battery tray. I say a 67 Mustang owner on another website who apparently has acquired a 68 asking about battery tray that included the reference just the other day. Milo apparently saw the same post and was was confused about what was correct.
