Thanks.

I need the correct size tap and die to chase the threads on my ‘40 pitman arm nut and sector shaft. Can someone tell be the proper size so I can order the tools. I took the nut to my machinist friend, but the tap and die I ordered based on his measurements were too small.

It was CMG for about 17 years and then purple for the next 60+. I'm not worried about resale, I plan to keep it until I die. Appreciate the comments either way.

Here is the current state of the car. It will be painted the same purple as done in the late '50s. You can see the color on the wheel.

Got it! That schematic and picture really helps. Appreciate it.

Here are pictures of both the engine side and inside firewall of the column shift tube of the Sedan. There is no bracket like on the Convertible. Very puzzling.

This bracket is attached to the column shift tube. We aren't sure how it attaches. Does it mount to the bottom of the dash? There is no bracket like this on my Sedan, so I'm assuming it's a convertible/woodie only part. I have it circled in the picture.

Yes, I can see it. Thanks for the help.

Here are more brackets for my '40 Convertible. I think they go somewhere in the interior of the car. Can anyone identify them?

Thanks!

Can someone tell me where these brackets go? My '40 Convertible is at a shop and the employee who disassembled the car died. I'm trying to figure out where they attach.

How did the engine rebuild with ECAM work out? The engine in my '40 started making a knock, so a rebuild may be in my future.

I ended up finding the sender at Joe's Antique Auto Parts (before I saw Kube's post). Hopefully it will work. Thanks for the replies.

Thanks, I ordered it over the phone looking at the item online, so I missed that. I called Drake and the senders are out of stock and will be back in 2 - 4 weeks.

I needed a new gas tank and got the repro one from Bob Drake. The factory 1940 sending unit doesn't fit. Any ideas or experiences on what sending unit to use. Car is stock '40 Ford Sedan with 6 volts. The work is being done at a shop, so I can't take pictures currently.
