Jorgen..nice pics and looks like you've got a good reference book to asist you. For future reference, we had a small bunch of those rear thrust washers (Canadian export type) made and are available now. We use p/n C8M-7129..........Mac VP

Sure looks like a job well done to me!

Very nice post.

That dab you added to the ball of the shift lever was poetic.

Our FordBarn buddy Cecil/WV has a 40 pickup, and he's a transmission guy also (among dozens of other talents). He's on the road right now heading for Tahoe.

Nice work and pictures! I went NUTS a few years ago trying to ID one of those washers for a guy on the HAMB...I think it took me a week of digging in my bunker of knowledge before I located its picture and info in an ancient Canadian catalog. Then he went nuts for several weeks locating a usable one!

Very impressive array of tools and the skill to make them work...!!!! Thanks for sharing.

I used a roll pin like the one you picture on your throw out shaft... And, I came to regret it.
I used it on the outside to fasten the arm to the shaft. I found that I had to adjust the clutch- and didn't know why... The roll pin was springing under load and gradually fell apart...
At least I could get to mine, yours will be hard to replace.
Use a grade 8 bolt...

Karl Wolf, Thanks for your point of view. The idea of ​​the roller pin was that it would fill up the hole and get away from any movement.
I think if the roller pin is too short the ends of roller pin would collapse before a roller pin which extends by at least half the diameter outside, if possible you can beat in a thinner roller pin or a masiv pin inside.
But probably not reach it up to the same strength as a grade 8 bolt!
So maybe I should change to a grade 8 bolt.

Great example of machining ability. Good how to on -o-ringing the shafts to stop oil leaks. First job out of high school was a machinist. Didn't forget those skills 50 years later building a '32 hot rod with a Bridgeport & lathe for help.
