68 Rocker Panel support brackets.

[Howard T.]

I have a 68 that had side pipes at one time, I want to go back to the correct exhaust system. I don't know if the brackets were cut off or added. I'm trying to confirm what type of brackets belong on the bird cage. At this time I have short brackets about 1 1/4 inch long that are welded to the bird cage. The assembly manual show a picture that looks like the brackets. My question is what type of brackets should be on a 68 I have checked other C3's not a 68 I can not find any type of bracket of any kind. With all of the crazy thing different on the 68's what is correct for a 68. I can find replacement brackets for C2's but nothing for a 68.

Any pictures of the correct brackets would be appricated, or should their be no brackets at all.


Thanks,

Howard

This link is to a picture that show the brackets that should be on a 68. There should be 3 per side.

John,

That's what I have it just look like someone (Engineering Department) was not sure how to design the proper support for the rocker panels. It seem to me during the change over from C2 to C3 the questions come up do we use old designs or draft up new designs or just make something that looks like we know what were doing. Anyway I still love the early C3's.

Thanks,

Howard
