There are also other options for bracing, if you can't use these bars, like for non
convertibles: https://lmr.com/products/05-09-Musta...s-Lower-Braces

Though, those will fit even if you have a Vert, there are other options... Just
an example, there are plenty of options.

Default Blue support braces

Did some custom braces to match the paint on an '07 vert Closeup of blue braces
Nice finish should compliment his ride

Default Support braces

Ford added a brace on the upright and plate to the brace/body to beef up the bar for later models Top brace is late model 2010+

My '05 had rotten braces needing replacement 4 years ago.
