Export Bracing

Regarding a 69 Mustang coupe, would like to know if it mounts below or above the mounting bracket on the firewall.

The export brace mounts above the firewall flange and is a direct drop-in for your coupe. I highly recommend the addition of an export brace on a '69-'70 Mustang to strengthen the weak shock towers. These cars really respond to the additional support. If the brace does not fit between the shock towers, the towers have begun to move toward the center of the vehicle and must be spread out. This may require some muscle and may be accomplished with prybars between the export brace and shock tower. I usually remove the hood and jack up the car in the center, under the bolt-in crossmember, to allow the weight of the hanging suspension to help spread the towers. A stubborn vehicle may require the use of a hydraulic "Port-A-Power." Remember, the export brace is dimensionally correct, but the shock towers may require some "coaxing."
