Machspeed 219 Report post Posted June 3, 2017 Last week I was removing my side scoops and noted a depression in the upper aft corner of both scoops. I had never noticed this before and I've owned the car since the mid 70's. Saw a like post on this, just posted the other day, at the concours mustang forum but wanted to bring it here as well. Can't believe I would have overlooked this all these years. Thinking I may fill them in. Thoughts and comments on this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Machspeed 219 Report post Posted June 3, 2017 Ohhhhh, and btw, does anyone produce a repop on the plastic inserts for these scoops? Not finding them, but may have overlooked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted June 3, 2017 The dent is from the stud on the back getting over tightened causing a pucker in the front i have knocked it out by setting the scoop on a wood table and gently hitting straight down on the stud. If the dent is real dep it may crack when you try to knock it out. The grill is actually pot metal same as the scoop 1 JayEstes reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raven R code 281 Report post Posted June 6, 2017 I have had very good luck using a pocket butane torch and a wooden dowl to straighten the pot metal parts. Just be sure to not to use excessive heat. 1 JayEstes reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not finding them, but may have overlooked. The inserts are die cast pot metal. Worse case, Perogie Enterprises in New Jersey should have used originals.
