66 original jacking instruction label advice

[E S.]

Hi all-Found the corner piece of my jacking instruction label in the jack stowage compartment of my 66. Car is un-restored,and very original-in your opinion,should I try to bond the corner piece back where it belongs, or maybe just put it in the owner's packet with the p.o.p.?IMG_20200302_191810362.jpgIMG_20200302_191810362.jpgIMG_20200302_191810362.jpgIMG_20200229_170953109.jpgIMG_20200229_170953109.jpgIMG_20200229_170953109.jpgIMG_20200302_191810362.jpg

I would glue it back where it belongs.

I agree. It was glued on in the first place

Look closely at the board and the corner piece of the jacking instructions...can you see where there was glue smeared on it originally? The reason I ask, is that if you glue that corner piece back in place you're going to be covering up the JP Stevens Jack Board Carpet Label (or, a good portion thereof).
It may never have had any glue to hold it in place and that's why it tore off after 54 years.

Re: 66 original jacking instruction label advice

Thanks- You are correct-Doesn't look like there ever was any glue under that corner of the instruction label, and if I glue it down,it would cover most of the carpet label, and the year of the date code stamp on the carpet label. (9-20-65).
However- if the factory had glued the jack label properly, the carpet label would have been partially covered forever.
Maybe the carpet label was installed in the wrong location originally? I would like to see pics of other original jack board instruction and carpet label installations-(especially k/o wheel option)
Thanks again for your insight!

Do you have the TIM&JG for your '66 model? In the "Interior" section there is a description of where the labels typically were positioned. Below is the description from my '67 manual.

No- I do not have a judging manual for this model-just haven't ordered it yet-as I am sure the manual would answer,as well as raise questions!
Great for the hobby
Thanks again!
