Re: Cortina MK1 & MK2 automatic transmission bracket

So the only reply I got is from Graeme White of EnFord Spares New Zealand.
For those who maybe interested or has an EnFo with a T35 transmission:

Re: Cortina MK1 & MK2 automatic transmission bracket

Hi Michael,

Its rather an engineering question and curious why Ford decided to install a brace on the automatic transmission and not on a manual. There is no mention of this in any book nor information in any EnFo manual that I have nor internet.
Not a deal, life will still go on.

Cortina MK1 & MK2 automatic transmission bracket

Would anyone know why p/n: 118E-6K040A bracket is necessary for a T35 transmission.
Bracket attaches from the bell housing to the engine underneath the generator bracket.
Can't imagine that it prevented transmission torque. Apparently changed to DORY-6K040A maybe for the Pinto 1600 ?

Re: 1/4-26 un? why?

Hi Mark,

PM sent. There are two lengths of nuts depending on cap manufacturer.
I would use the longer nuts to be save.

Hi Mark,

Yes, there are two lengths of ignition wire tie-down nuts depending on cap manufacturer.

Re: CL - 1957 ANGLIA ~ ENGLISH FORD COUPE - $7,900 (AZ)

100E was 6 volt +grd. After '57 12 volt still +grd. It seems it has electrical issues. Voltage Regulator is a 12 volt RB340. Generator/ starter 6v or 12v ?

Re: CL-Low Mileage 1968 Ford Cortina GT - $26,000 (SC)

Fair price considering the cost of restoring a high mileage plus 60 year old car.
This will require a fluid flush, tires, some buffing to make it near new again.
Anyone with spare cash, and is looking for one, is the way to go.
