1964-66 Mustang Export Brace (4 bar unit)
Part # TS-46 tubular export brace only fits
1964-66 Mustangs.
The following parts are supplied:
- One export brace
- (4) –3/8 Flange bolts
- (4) – 3/8 Flange lock nuts
Installation will require minor grinding on both
shock towers. The side mount must be removed that bolts the stock steel
firewall support to the tower. This will facilitate a clean installation.
- Remove the stock stamped steel supports from the
firewall to the tower.
 Take
a small die grinder and grind the spot welds off the shock tower to
support tabs. Buff the spot welds off and blend into the tower. Prep the
area for a little touch up paint and paint the shock tower.- Remove the two bolts that hold the shock to the
shock mount.
- Unbolt the stock shock mount from the tower by
removing the three nuts. Lift the mount off the tower. Remove both
sides. You may have to remove the air cleaner at this time. It will make
it easier to install the export brace. Note: The picture above shows
installation of a Global West coilover top mount being used rather then
a standard shock mount. The export brace will work for both.
- Install the new export brace by sliding the
firewall portion of the brace under the lip on the firewall.
- Lower the shock tower side of the brace down onto
the three studs in the shock tower. You may have to shift the studs
around slightly. Place a couple of nuts on just to hold the brace in
position.
- Install using the new hardware supplied in your
kit the 4 shock tower bolts with washers. Tighten down the bolts just
enough to hold the brace.
- Go back to the towers, remove the nuts holding the
export brace and install the shock mount on top of the brace.
- Install the nuts and tighten down the shock mounts
with the brace underneath.
- Tighten down the 4 bolts at the firewall.
- Install the shock bolts and tighten down.
- Reinstall the air cleaner if removed.
