1969 Rear Spoiler
Can anyone tell me where to find a template or give me the
measurements (location) of the holes for the rear spoiler on a 1969 Mustang Mach 1? Thanks Mel |

I don't know that there's a template or measurements. All the cars I've ever seen with the spoiler on the '69-'70 sportsroof put the mounts as far down the trunklid as possible and still have it sit flat against it. Just before it starts to curve back up into the whale tail. You can see mine here. It's a '69 also with an aftermarket rear spoiler. http://home.comcast.net/~vanguard92/wallpaper6b.JPG http://home.comcast.net/~vanguard92/wallpaper7a.JPG http://home.comcast.net/~vanguard92/wallpaper4a.JPG I could've put the spoiler even lower on the trunklid, but the bodyshop drilled the holes a bit too high and I was stuck with it. It was low enough for it to look correct so I didn't make them redo it. It was only off by about an inch. I've seen some morons drill the holes at the TOP of the decklid and then leave it there. It looks like CRAP!!! I checked out a '69 Mach I and a '70 Boss 302 and the factory pedestals are not in any EXACT place that I could tell, other than they were as low as possible while keeping the pedestals flat against the deck. Hope that helps. -- Scott W. '66 HCS Mustang 289 '68 Ranchero 500 302 '69 Mustang Sportsroof 351W ThunderSnake #57 http://home.comcast.net/~vanguard92/ |

Thanks for the info.
The original deck lid was damaged several years ago. A replacement deck lid was drilled too low and the pedestals did not seat properly so the trunk filled with water every time it rained until it rusted out... Now when it rains the water runs straight through to the ground below--no problem <G> I have replaced the trunk sheetmetal and deck lid. I don't want to cause the same problem again...

FYI: Check out the pics @
http://community.webshots.com/album/298509522SJtaqi and/or the link below for the approximate location of the rear deck spoiler. The obvious primary requirement is insuring that the mount bracket foot is flush with the top of the trunk lid.

>>ORIGANL ASPOILER LOCATION IS ALSO GOVERENED SOMEWAHT BY THE (sorry damn >>cap >>locks) relief inside the deck lid. If I remember correctly some of the >>original boss 302 cars actually had a brace inside the lid to help hold >>the spoiler in place. Not sure who wrote the above, but you are correct. My friends '70 Boss 302 has a metal brace between the bolts. He was of the opinion that ALL '70 Boss 302's had this bracing. Dunno about the '69's, but I trust his opinion on the '70's. I don't remember the underside on the '69 Mach I. -- Scott W. '66 HCS Mustang 289 '68 Ranchero 500 302 '69 Mustang Sportsroof 351W ThunderSnake #57 http://home.comcast.net/~vanguard92/ |
