Kieth, Are you referring to the fromt mount at the pinion? I have not ever seen one that the edges aren't rolled when formed in the press. Dennis

The long welded-on reinforcements on both sides didn't start until 1969; 1966-68 had a single washer welded on each side for the forward bolt. Photo below shows the '69-up bracket at the top, and the '66-'67 bracket at the bottom.

So did dad and I. We learned his coupe has a later style bracket and a rear from a 1977.
