Trash or Treasure

[Warren]

Got some parts from a gent that sold off his car. I can't ID some of them.

I just found a bag for the Traction Master bushings and I guess the red is a sway bar, anyone need these?

The thing that looks like a jack clip ? but it is way thicker.

The brakelight junction has no threads?

The stainless steel ring ? is it the collar for the Dzus fastener for false floor?

Okay Thanks

Some Stuff Ain't Gold

It's not a brake light junction; it's the temp gauge sender on the heater hose Tee. (See workshop manual for plumbing path). The steel ring could possibly be the floor dzus collar ?

Oh duh

I see now the error of my thinking. I keep on getting amazed that parts were made of cast iron on these old piles I am also amazed and thought that my other Fords had a block sensor so they would be the same. D.D. had told me he had the same bit and another told me it did not belong. Thank you 0 learned ONE

I will study my sacred red book

What about that funky looking jack clip and those other bits?

I have seen very few of the Dzus collars and I thought they were alum. as the pins are.

Check me but the _---_ shaped brackets on early cars "that hold the false floor to the boot floor, and the loop to hold it to the boot lid," were made of cast iron and then later pot metal? close inspection shows the diff. it is amazing what I can see when I put on those seasoned citizen glasses I got at Costco.

Above the small chrome ring on the bottom right is a clamp to hold the fabric stringer to the soft top bow. Its the rectangular shaped piece with two holes.

The short thick bar with the two bolts in it shown at the bottom of the pic is for attaching a fender brace to the bulkhead. It goes inside the welded-on bracket and acts as two big nuts tied together. The bolts go through the flange on the brace, through the welded-on bracket and then into the threads on this bar.
