Thanks for posting 51 MERC-CT I have not seen that one before.

Mercury and Ford used the same decals on the air filter, oil filter etc. There is nothing on them saying Ford or Mercury. You can find them at all the early Ford parts suppliers.

I just had a look at the dome light on my M68 and yes there is a wire ring in there. It is tough to see and even tougher to get out. Take it real easy as that lense wil be very brittle.

My 1950 Mercury M68 (same as f2) takes a 1 1/8 socket

I think you will find placing a steering damper on your tie rod is a pretty popular fix for this situation. The VW damper is also popular and if your parts house can’t supply you might try Amazon.

Well Robert at least you got some parts out of him. I talked to him on the phone back in 2001 and he wouldn't even send me a cataloug and I'm on the west coast of Canada. I will not degrade this forum by typing what he said to me about mailing anything to Canada.

I have the same filter on my 50 Merc M68 and it takes a "Wix 51503 ". It also comes with the correct gasket. Al

RMR&C please keep us posted on the outcome of using an OEM disc in front of the T5 and also what machine work needed to be done.

I have been following this thread with a great deal of interest because I have the same problem. My story reads the same as 35Coupes but have had the T5 in for about 7 years. I have pulled the trans, clutch and flywheel off to check the height on the three arms, as Pete has suggested on the Borg...
