For Sale 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst (yet another) and 67 Sport Fury 4-spd for barter

[barnfind]

just a WAG, to counter support the clutch pedal movement???

 

[detmatt]

It just seems like if there was any serious movement at the point where it meets that sheet metal inner fender that it wouldn't take long to elongate the hole through the inner fender.

I was going to check but I can spend an hour searching the stupid Parts Book looking for body parts without finding it. Trying to find thzt brace in the book is like looking for a pin in the haystack and I don't possess the concentration.

I was thinking the FSM may have an exploded view of 4 speed setup for servicing or maybe in the Brake Booster/master cylinder area there may be a line drawing showing nearby parts.

The brace closest to the master cylinder would be damn close to a booster if there was one there. Probably would have to be the one that is small diameter.

The braces probably stabilize the brake/clutch pedal structure on the other side and the sheet metal it's attached too i.e. the firewall

That's what I got from the top quote and agree with you both

This is off the Hurst topic, but for what it's worth,.....

My very, early 4 speed convert car did not have the support bracket, and my later 4 speed hardtop did have the bracket.

Thanks. I'm gathering you concur with my use of the i.e. and are giving an explanation for those who might be interested which is probably no one

I meant the firewall specifically not for example which I think you are aware ;)

[Aidan1976]

Yes, recollect reading about these braces before allright. Could you please post some pix?

Don't forget the under dash bracing as well. I believe the four speed cars received a different inner apron with the bolt holes. Also, bracing clears power booster that appears no different than autos. -Rem

I'll have to summarise this info and add it to the 4 Speed Converzsion Conversation thread...

 

[Aidan1976]

This 1967 Sport Fury (originally a 383, 4-speed car) was featured in an article in the February 2009 edition of Muscle Car Review, entitled "Low Buck Muscle", basically about unique cars in a wreckers yard (apologies, scanned it but site doesn't accept pdf's? Little help...?).

Was in the same crappy condition back in '09 of course. 'Tis at Desert Valley Auto. However, have recently learned that ALL 4-speed related parts and hardware (including the hump) have now been removed (pedals and hump were still in the car per photo of the interior in the mag article). It can be taken that the engine/gearbox/console lonnnnggggg gone.

Roof and RHS 1/4 have been sold too (why would you buy a rusty quarter...?), quoted front fenders (which seem dented BTW) at $400 each, and hood/bonnet (which I can bet is not great either) offered at $350. Crazy...

Nice, polite people those DVAP folks........NOT.

My 67 Fury doesn't have them, 67 built car. Think I've seen them on late 67's.

Yours is a 4 speed?

 

[Aidan1976]

I take it then that 3-speed manual cars did not have these brackets? I mean, certainly the fuselage era cars if these strut part numbers are not quoted in the 1969 parts book?

Which also begs the question, were these struts used or not in '65 - '68 3-speed manual cars (only column shift I take it. Possibly a 3-speed floor shift also?).

Thanks

I would think all manual trans cars for the same periods in the same plant they were put on cars. It wouldn't make any sense to have them on 4 speed cars and not 3 speed cars and column vs floor shouldn't matter.
