1973 Mustang

choppermutt · 04-10-2009, 17:39

I am missing something from the passenger side dash (see pic). Does anyone know what should be there? Looks like a place for some kind of warning light but I'm not sure........

tc20 · 04-10-2009, 17:48

could it be a holder for an ashtray? The small semi-circle push in type?

choppermutt · 04-10-2009, 17:56

The ashtray is in the centre consol so I don't think thats it......but maybe

I'll have a look through a few catalogs and see if anything comes up

I haven't been able to find a picture, but I concur--I remember those rotating ashtrays well.

If you can find a pic it would be great.
Nothing definitive in the catalog but there is a mention of a safety belt warning light on some dashes

Does look like a seat belt warning light.

Cheers Justin. I'll contact a few dealers and see if they have anything. Nothing listed in the catalog

Id guess this too..it definatly looks like it.

vengeance52 · 04-10-2009, 22:58

any more pics of the car????

It simply says 'Fasten seat belt'.

Although it looks like a similar shape, I think that dash photo might be deceptive. Here's a standard seat belt warning light unit.

choppermutt · 05-10-2009, 20:39

Checked with a few guys in the States and its the seat belt reminder light sure enough and guess what..............not available for 71-73 Mustangs. Will look around for NOS but could be costly for what it is.

Dammit. Hate to be wrong

PICS??

Just got it painted so I'll take a few photos tomorrow evening and post them. Its been in the country for 10 years so I'm sure some of you will know it
