Mustang Interior Upgrades - Interior Superior!

The original instrument lens retainers need to be removed from the old cluster, and used on the new one from The Paddock. Take care never to touch the new lens. Skin oil and rough skin will scratch the surface. This is a very soft plastic.

The new bezel is installed as shown. Take extra care to make sure indicator light shields are in place. Some are cardboard. Some are plastic. Make sure they are seated, which prevents light leaks.

Lubricate the speedometer head and replace the instrument voltage regulator (also called a voltage limiter). Install new GE 1895 bulbs also.

This is the stick-on sound absorption kit from Mustangs Plus. We begin with stick-on synthetic strips, which stick to the steel panels. You can install these all over the floor pans, wheelhouses, doors, and firewall. Installation is easy. Make sure you install these synthetic strips on a clean, rust-free surface. Once installed, they soak up a lot of noise and vibration.

These sound-deadening pads not only keep out noise, they keep out heat and cold as well. Spray the trim adhesive, included in the kit, in liberal amounts on the back. Allow to tack off for five minutes. Then, lay it down.

Press the sound deadening in place. Even if it doesn't stick firmly, the carpet will hold it in place.

Heads Up
Custom Accessories brings us a lot of good things to make our classic Mustangs safer. you can order headrests for, not only '65-'67 Mustangs, but '68-'69 as well. Because the '68-'69 Mustang and Cougar bucketseat has a thicker back, we need a thicker headrest. Custom Accessories answers the call with these good-looking headrests available in a variety of colors. Installation is a snap.

Position the headrest assembly in place, and mark the screw hole locations with an awl or white marker. Make sure the headrest is properly centered. The headrest should be just above the seatback, but not touching. Drill four 31/416-inch holes at the four screw points. Install the cross bar with four self-tapping screws included in the kit.

This is how your installation should look. This installation can be customized to your application. For example, the crossbrace can go inside the seat, using bolts and nuts for added security. This makes the hardware virtually invisible.The seatback cover pops in place, as shown. This is not as easy as it looks. Get the clips lined up with the holes, and give it a flat-palm nudge. Some shops will use a utility knife to start the hole, making the install easier.

This is the completed installation. We like the look of these headrests. They look period, without looking afterthought.
