I was going thru some of my parts the other day and found a trap door/escape hatch bar pusher thingy, which mounts to the back of the seat. Was this an early late thing or did all Mustangs/Shelbys get those parts? Also did the 68s get the same thing?

believe it was only offered on secret agent cars....bond ...james...bond....

Take care !

it sounds like you are referring to the trap door rod that hooks to bracket attached to trunk inner structure meant to hold up the trap door. Yes it is typical for fastback with trap door.

Thanks BOB as always- Were the 67-68s the same part or did they differ... I want to have the correct one for my application. Secret agent man Antonio- Thanks for the laugh!

Same for 67/68 . 69/70 is different. Here is a link to NPD.  https://www.npdlink.com/product/hinge-lock-trunk-access-door/152161?   The original was zinc phosphate.

Goes on the right side there is a notch for it to fit in to hold the panel in the up position.

Thanks guys... That is the part I found in the bottom of a box, I thought what is this? I can adapt it for a cell phone holder possibly? Didnt know it is called a fold down seat kick stand, Good to know!

Thanks for the question Roy... The car has been tucked away in the corner of the shop just waiting for some forward momentum. I had a leg surgery and some life items that seemed to get in the way, of getting things moving forward in a positive direction. It has been such a long arduous slog of getting this car back to where it is today that maybe I needed an automotive time out ...to get my MOJO back! Thanks again to everyone that has helped me on this car.
