Richard, the safety brackets are one of the precious mysteries of the Goose, they show up on this car and on the parts drawing...but it seems really not anywhere else.
Vyprgt2, I cannot be dead sure what was built in the last days of the Mangusta, but most were built using the white small fan blade that is used for the left side radiator, a Motocraft motor and a bracket made of all-thread rod...These continued at least until what was on my car (8ma1076). Attached is a picture of the Bordinath car, which I'm guessing is (as the rest of the car appears) as it left from the factory...
