Getting the arch bend in the support bar took some doing to get the perfect fit. I can get you a set for $450 if your interested? I got mine black hammered powdercoated finish but can get them powdercoated in almost any color or several different types of finish. This part will probably outlast the rest of the car,lol?

Wow! 450? Everyone should be looking at their undercarriage that owns a convertible after 05.
I would have JUMPED at that, Bud636, but I happened onto what looked like new old stock ones and I coated them with rustoleum paint and then undercoating, then installed them.
Mine were really rotted out. Drives fine now.
Can you supply them at 450 and being powdercoated also? don-ohio (:^)

Yes I can. There are several at the powdercoating shop now & I am working on more now. If you are interested please let me know? I have been sending some south to the Atlanta area to a salvage yard. Thanks,bud

Sure my email is Bstrunk37@gmail.com. after I get enuf posts on here I will advertise to this forum? Thank you for your interest,my grandpa taught me to fix or rebuild things. $1200 is too much for such a part that will rust out again eventually. If you run across a needy convertible owner please have them reach out to me. Thanks again,bud

Default New update 4/18

Just reaching out to all the unfortunate 05-10 mustang convertible owners. Have had success helping out replacing several sets of rear braces. They are available at $400 with free shipping included to anywhere in the USA. Why replace your part with a junk yard take off that will eventually rust out again. Have had feedback that drivers feel like the rear stops squirming in turns. Thank you to the owners that have given new braces to their cars & for giving me a chance? Bud
