Tough to tell from the picture, but that looks like the speaker box bracket should go there.

Here is a picture of a 67 speaker bracket (I believe).
Long ago the speaker flew the coupe!

Been meaning to test this extinguisher for reliability for s while now ...

Should probably put it in a more accessible location while you're at it.

Were the original seat belts chrome? If a 67 had belts.

I dont think the belts would conform if they were chromed :smt017
Check the owners manual in the wiki. Likely the latches are chrome, not the anchors.

I don't know the answer to your question, but if you are looking to replace, here is what I used in my '66. They look and work great. They also look period correct.

Dremel tool to cut slot for flat screw driver. The head is domed so you need only cut in the meddle. An impact driver would help, Harbor Freight has a small 1/4" driver unit I like a lot.

Use the same tool or small drill to put a small dimple on the edge of the head and hit at an angle with a center punch.
Drill a small hole in the center and the keep enlarging until an easy out fits and unscrew or keep going larger until the head falls off.

Start small and use sharp drills, so you don't overheat the screw and damage the plastic that surrounds that area.

Peter,
Can't you just remove the electrical section?

It's the two wires on the side that broke off and I need to resolder them.

Sounds like the door buzzer wires. Red with a stripe?

I just made the happy discovery that my cigarette lighter works and will charge my phone. My question is will charging 3 different devices off it overload it?
Oil a little low? Time to get a longer dipstick:)
