Thanks for pics Jeff.  Bob, I've already checked with Dave M with respect carb.  Car came with 3310 holley but I fell for rumour that S/Bs w A/T came with Autolite 4100 (some only).  So shopped like crazy, then had presence of mind to check with Dave M and his info is that it left SJ with Holley715.  Ended up getting a date coded 3259-1 off Ebay. Needed a lot of work and parts, now difficult to get and expensive but it's correct.  Looks like Drake repop. bracket and fabrication job for tubing.
Thks for your help guys.

Thanks Bob, hope someone has a couple of good pics.  Parked my rear tail light issues for awhile.  Some family issues.  Still trying to get some garage time in.

Spent some time searching forum pages for info on above subject.  Info has been discussed but must have been on V1. Anyway I need fuel line and bracket to water pump for gt350 s/n 1935 w p/s & a/c.  Vendors seem to only have for 65-66 and w/o p/s. Might run under a/c compressor ok?  Any suggestions or help appreciated.  Close up pics of installation would help if I have to fab line.  Looks like Drake has bracket but not sure it's correct.  Seem to remember one of forum guys had made a correct looking one and would sell??  Ring any bells with anyone?

Another detail with hood is incorrect clocking of hood pin plates as recently discussed. Just saying. Still could be real and hopefully so.

Thanks for your input Bob, I have one that I can move to repop but will have to find something else for other grill.  I have a set of door speakers from a Galaxie but mesh is garbage so I'll continue to look or like you suggest creativity will rule.  Still working with taillight wiring and housing boxes with nothing to rivet them to.  Creating there too. Summer starting to interfere.
Regards, Paul

Had thought of that and will check it out.  Thks

Thanks for input.  Plan now is to order repops, probably from NPD, continue to search for mesh and move good mesh to new or redo both. Sounds complicated but just need to find something that will work.  Got impression that repops were not good option.  This is not a concours build so it'll be what it is.  Car deserves the best I can give it.

Mine are seriously damage from seat belt buckle damage.  One mesh is torn. Did not know repops are of poor quality.  Are some vendors of better quality than others or all from same source (likely low bid China)?  Anyone refurbish originals?  May have to start collecting originals and selecting best.  Not the best way.  Anyone got a nice pair of originals or NOS?

Has anyone found a source for the fabric that was glued to lower door grill at speaker hole on each door?  Mine are torn.

So is the blue tape middle one the original lid?  Not mentioned in the description.  Sharper and crisper bends the clue?

Stay tuned as I turn up the heater and adjust things.

Ok, I just looked a the PO again and it could be a 5/2 as it is hand written, and it does fit SJ and SA info.
Got your email today and as the car is still in many pieces pictures are a problem.  That's why I haven't sent Dave anything yet.  I'll work on it this week and see what I can come up with.  I had a finger and brain issue with my phone so most of the more recent pics have been lost to the internet black hole.  Not unlike the Forum V1 scenario I suspect.  Garage needs clean and reorg anyway.  Will email results soon.  It's -20 here in YYC so things don't happen fast.

Z stamp is also stamped in front of vin # on lh fender data plate.

Circled figures top rh corner above "production order"on form #0-103 are S/2

Been there, done that.  If you don't have the retractors or the boots you don't have anything of substantial value.  Stuart at Python has webbing and  can make a very nice belt system but if you want totally original stuff there is a problem.  He is the best but the reality is the original retractors are rare and $$$$.  I was lucky and had something that he worked with.  Beautiful work, he matched my original rear belts and as discussed, he rewebbed my stuff.  Very satisfied with his work but don't harpoon yourself on the easy stuff. Webbing and buckels are available.  FYI!
