What is this bracket for?

Post by C.Costine »

There was nothing attached to this bracket under the rear edge of the passenger compartment of my '67, and I don't recall anything there on my 67.5 either. Why is it there?

I am planning to use it to mount my third brake light.

^ Not sure, but was this where they mounted the parcel straps?

That is the center rear hard top latch location for the factory hard top.

Here is where the hard top latches-- there is a bracket that mounts to the bracket that you illustrated:
