    Piece part name and where it mounts exactly.

    This a part I cut out of the old metal of Anna's convertible. Would like to order a new one but I can't find it anywhere that supplies sheet metal parts. I can re-use the old part, but I don't remember the exact measure to weld it back. Would rather have new metal.

    Sorry, I can't offer a guess.  It may help to ID what year Mustang this is. 

    65 Fastback, 351W, 5-speed, 4 wheel discs, 9" rear,  R&C Front End.

    Ed, that looks like a brace between the door jamb and the wheelhousing, down low by the floor . I believe it supports the quarter window regulator mechanisms.  My 66 coupe had them. I dont recall if my FB did. Let me check the coupe tomorrow.

    I don’t recall seeing them for sale, but I can get measurements on where they go.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Thanks GregB. That us way lower than I thought. TimC also sent me some measurements from his car. Between these two data points I should get it figured out.
