I recently had my 66 flight judged and am working through some of the issues noted to improve my car.
One of the points noted was that I was missing 1 of the T-strap wire ties along the upper portion of the firewall. Most of these strap to the hood release cable.
Per the attached pic of the section in the latest (6th edition) of the 1966 TIM / Judging Guide it says there should be 6 of these T-straps. There are two pix and some words to describe where these are located. The pics don't capture location on all 6 and the wording is a bit confusing to me so I was looking for clarification. I asked a friend and his guidance was to refer to my Assem Manual. Thought that sounded like good advice, but when I looked in my 1966 Assem Manual, it only shows 4 of the T-straps - pic attached below. Looking for some help from the judging community on the correct quanity and better description or pics of location for all of them or from those of you who have had your car judged and the quantity and locations approved.
Thx for your help.
