1600 Automatic Choke Thermal Housing

FoMoCo carburetors series: C7BH-9510K,  C9BH-9510A/B,  691W-9510VA/YA

Housing water hose attachments corrode and eventually break off the housing.

Repair: Cut-off attachments. Drill a 6mm hole .5" deep into the housing then use a M7x10  tap for both holes. Cut two pieces of 1/4" OD copper tubing 1.75" long. Thread each end with a M7x10 die .5" length. ( Reason for metric sizes is that 1/4 x 24 is too small a die for 1/4" copper tubing. )

Apply epoxy on housing and copper tubing thread. Screw in water hose tubing into housing. Let set over night.

Ford Rectangular Badges

Type C: Produced by C.E.M. 109E-16070 C for North American models. Mounting pins 5/16" thick.

Type D: Produced by J Fray Ltd. 109E-16070 D for U.K. / Europe. Mounting pins 1/8" thick.

Both types are identical and found type D mounted on American models.

Original bezel plate with removed tag. Modified new tag and unmodified tag.

Refurbishing Badges:

New aluminum tags / decals are reproduced by Scott Drake in the U.S. for the American Ford door sill. Decals are of very high quality includes protected plastic covering and sticky backing. He produces two types:

Left: C8ZZ-6513208-T for 1966-1973 Fords. Right: C5ZZ-6513208-T for 1964-1966 Fords

These decals are a bit larger in size to the original decals produced for EnFo. Borders of these decals would need to be cut off to fit the EnFo bezel plates. A wooden jig is fabricated to the size of the inner surface of the bezel plate with a 1/16" deep oval cut-out to give clearance to the embossed Ford emblem. The Drake decal is sandwiched between the two wooden pieces and clamped slightly in  vice. I used a sharp wooden chisel to shave off the outer embossed border. I prefer C8ZZ with the smaller Ford logo instead of the C5ZZ lettering where "Product of " is touching the bezel plate border.

Original emblem.

Thanks to Tom Stixrud, my brother-in-law, for creating the jig for this idea.

Cortina MK1 window trim filler moulding

Application: 1962- 66 Windshield and sedan rear window trim filler moulding. p/n: 113E-7042432

I've cut off 1" section pieces from a damaged Cortina MK1 gutter stainless steel moulding. Shaping and grinding down the side lip a bit to form a similar shape filler to the original. They are not a perfect copy of the original thus would need to be attached with sealant.

These are available to order please contact me.

105E Front Seat Bracket Extension Conversation

The early bucket seat clamp bracket and spacer set on the early Cortina MKII can be used on the 105E series models to move the front seat aft approximately one inch.

Image of the seat clamp and spacer are illustrated in the Cortina model "C" master parts and illustration catalog.

100E / 105E Light Switches

Twist / pull type were commonly made in England by Arcoelectric, established in 1932 and remains a leading manufacture of switches and indicators.

These switches can be refurbished if the unit isn't damaged or contacts are too worn beyond repair.

Dismantling:

Remove the 5mm nut with long nose pliers. Check each removed part for extensive wear. Use a Dremel type motor with a rotary wire brush to clean and polish the contacts and spindle shaft.

Re-assemble:

Observe all spring loaded tabs make contact. You may have to bent the tab a bit for firm contact.
Apply lock-tite type sealant on the nut thread. Tighten the nut lightly with the shaft in the pull out
( lights on ) position.

Operation and continuity check:

Connect an Ohm meter to the switch terminals and rotate / pull to check operation and continuity.
Oil shaft with light oil . Spray a bit of WD-40 inside the switch if operating it is noisy.

License Plate Light Assemblies

Application:

Butlers A-L-60 for 105E / 109E
Wards & Goldstone Ltd SAE 6-61 for 114E-13543.

Replace damaged or rusted light sockets with instrument light sockets that fit in a 5/8" diameter hole.

Reproduction assembly:

Use 1/16" sheet metal. Cut and bend to desired size and mounting angle. 5/8" light socket hole(s).
My preference for a chrome cover, glass, and gasket is from an early MGB which are easily obtainable.
Light sockets are 105E / 109E or Cortina MK1 / MK2.

Remove light socket from bottom of assembly for easy light bulb access. Snap socket in place with low adhesion silicon to prevent moisture exposure.
