1968

Unfortunately the premium version is no longer available.  This version is made of a softer compound than the original bumpers and will not hold up as long as the originals did on a Cougar due to the force that the actuator exerts.  Sold as a Pair. Check out this video Check out this video

New black screws for attaching the headlight doors to all 1967-68 Mercury Cougars. Four screws needed per side for a total of 8 per car. We have found 3 different styles of separate screws that were used during the 1967-68 model run, San Jose and Dearborn may have accounted for a difference. This one matches exactly to one of the more common ones that were installed. Replaces Ford Part number 376352-S15.

UPDATE 11-19-20: We still do not have the shaft seal dialed in but we are offering this kit with a proven substitute seal until further notice. This kit will recondition most FoMoCo headlamp actuators built from 1967 into the 70's on most any Thunderbird, Torino, Lincoln, Cyclone or Marquis. The kit will service two actuators even though many cars only come with one center mounted unit. If your actuator holds vacuum on the bottom port but does not hold vacuum (or pressure) on the top port then...

Quality "STANDARD" brand reproduction switch for your vacuum actuated hideaway headlights. This switch fits multiple years and makes which means multiple dash configurations. You will need to "break off" your unique extension and attach it to this unit. The extension (spacer) can be removed easily by placing your old switch in a vise and using a wedge shaped chisel to break the tiny spot welds. When reattaching, most any glue such as Gorilla glue, JB weld or even silicone will work as you are...

This bracket attaches the vacuum storage tank for your headlights to the core support inside the driver fender. It differs from the 1967 bracket in that an oval hole was put in it to allow the socket and pigtail assembly for the side marker light to pass through the bracket located closest to the fender. 1969 uses the exact same bracket except for a slightly different clip design. Sold individually, two required per car. Cougar part number C8WY-13B008-A.

These tension springs are located on either side of your hidden headlamp eyelids. Our springs are made from the exotic alloy "Inconel". Inconel springs have approximately ten times the memory of the originals which were made from the much more common and inexpensive "piano wire". These springs have been engineered to have the exact same elasticity as the originals but will last decades longer than the originals which from our experience with NOS, usually lose their memory within a year and...

This kit is for the EARLY 1968 Cougar, we also list the LATE 1968 version. There are minor differences between the two. This basic kit will save you many hours on your grille restoration especially if you do not own a bead blasting cabinet or the specialty power tools needed to separate the chrome grille bars from the grille assembly. To come up with this "near perfect" group of parts we have to disassemble several West Coast, corrosion free grilles and inspect them very closely. Next we glass...

NOS grille headlight eyelid door vacuum actuator for the Mercury Cougar. No exchange needed for NOS. *NOTE* While original FoMoCo boxes are fun and all, we do not recommend you invest in these units as shown with the multiple crimps at the top. These later dated service replacement units shown here were made out of country and are inferior to what the OEM supplier made back in "the day". The rubber elasticity is not as good as the early units and the porosity of the metal makes them impossible...

As decades old Cougar lore goes... After Dan Gurney test drove the XR7-G for the first time he was asked what he thought about this new Cougar. His supposed reply was, "you can't hear the horn at high speeds." The car was later equipped with this third horn just for Mr. Gurney.
