The middle bracket is a '69-'70 Mustang/Cougar under dash bracket.  It is located right above the gas pedal and goes from one of the brake/clutch pedal firewall support bolts to the lower dash.

The third bracket could be from a '69-'70 Mustang as well.  Possibly the center A/C duct bracket from the duct to the cowl/firewall. See picture.

thanks Chris, on the under dash bracket idea, I had no clue on that one, Jeremy

hey can I get some help identifying these brackets and there location? I'm restoring my first 69 shelby convertible and I didn't take it apart. I can't figure out these pieces. thanks
   pictures arrached

can anyone provide good pictures of 1969 GT350 with automatic transmission. finishes and appearance photos.
Pan Natural? color of dip stick? etc?

does anyone have pictures of an original scoop that has been removed and can still see how tape was applied and what tape looked like?

I have been told that the side scoops on a 1969 shelby were installed using white double sided tape. is this correct? also if it is, does the tape go all the way around? does anyone have pictures of how the tape was installed on scoop? I'm restoring this early 69 gt350 and wasn't the person whom disassembled this car so I'm a little behind the 8 ball and figuring out a lot of these details because I don't have any reference pictures to go from. I usually take hundreds of pictures so when assembling I can refer back.

Yes ,the THIN 3M double sided tape all the way around the perimeter looks best. The factory application can very.

what do you mean by thin? how thin do you mean? i have some white double side foam tape that is about 1/16" thick, is that to thick?

What is the consensus on correct aftermarket headlight to use for judging? embossed ford logo? engraved ford logo?
Also did shelby use different styles depending on when car was built? thanks Jeremy

just so we are clear I am just questioning the attachment of the lower grill to the grill support bar. The upper grill is attached with 1/8" rivets on the car and the last car I did in this time frame. I'm not sure the time frame of using the 3/16" rivets to attach upper grill was.

Reply #1 was answering your question that you asked about the lower grill.

Yes I got that Bob, I wasn't disputing anything, I was just adding to it because JD posted pictures with upper grill using the big rivets and I have found they used small and large at different times, thank you my friend
    but JD's picture does bring me to another question and that is.... which is correct or more likely to be correct, lower grill installed from outside as in JD's example or lower grill installed on the inside side of grill suport?

I'm restoring an early April completion date gt350 with inboard lights. so has big hole grill pattern. in pictures you will see 1/8" rivets with spring clip used as washers. This car has had front end work and has been changed from original but I wanted to make sure this was not a thing. I cannsee why they used the clip to help hold the lower grill in but have a hard time believing this is correct, I'm guessing the 3/16" rivet with big head would have been correct. can someone help with what I'm seeing is probably not correct in picture. thanks jeremy

i'm looking for either 11/66 or 3/67 steel wheels. trying to make a set. i have one 69 date code and one 70 date code im willing to trade or i could trade the 67 date code ones to help someone else match a date also
      wheels i have and date
      1- 11/66 three knub 15x6
      1- 3/67 three knub 15x6
      1-69 four knub  15x6
      1-70 four knoub 15x6

do you still have any 67 you are willing to part with? i'm looking for either  11/66 date code or 3/67, thanks jeremy

Hope these help. No measurements but at least the pictures show other "landmarks" you can use to compare the location of the vent hole to. Just a few inches from the center to the tube weld on the drivers side. Brake line strap was left off at the time when the lower right picture was taken for those looking at other details 

thanks jeff that will help for sure my friend

hey I'm looking for pictures and measurements on the location of rear end vent, The 1969 gt350, I'm restoring didn't have rear end, I picked one up but was told it was from a big block car and they were different from small block??? so I need location of vent if this is true so I can relocate it. thanks Jeremy

BB 69/70 housings had 2 holes not one. They are hard to find.  If it has one then you are good to go for the 69 GT350.

thank you
