just like the original...

the picture shown on the website is very similar to an original with the main bracket being zinc dichromate and the fastener being black oxide. The actual repro part is all clear zinc. The website also states "Made of nylon with a steel and brass plunger just like original." which is not accurate

Original part removed by a Mustang specialty shop and never replaced. I just received and looking for proper screws to mount to the old heater box. It looks like it will fit. This item was 39% cheaper than at Mustang Parts suppliers.

Really excited they had this piece.

Nice little "insurance" item to replace while in there to replace a heater core. Except for the unfaded plastic housing, you couldn't tell this from OEM.

Part was an exact replacement and performed perfectly
