This is the one with the bracket in the center, unique to '65s from research I believe the pn to be C5TA-18827-A looking for a NICE used, NOS or repro if they exist. Thanks!!

If I am understanding Bob's book right my July 27 scheduled build date Dearborn '65 may not have had this condensor originally, the book talks about after July 9th Ford going to an internal condensor....The judge that judged my car at Jax says I need 1.....

Jack at Dead Nuts On found me one.
The regulator ones seem easier to get. I wonder if you could move the bracket over a bit on one of those ?. I thought about doing this before I found mine.
I was going to grind the little spot welds with a Dremmel, then fix the bracket back with some JB Weld. I reckon it would work.

Remember that the date on your warranty tag is just a scheduled date. Regardless, the norm for a '65 is for there to be one, but if you are willing to do the research and find original examples and/or documentation to support your claim, then that would just need to be presented before judging.

Mark, You may be able to move the bracket but the numbers will still be wrong.

The way my eyes are going I will be lucky to read the license plate by this time next year <img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Fair comment Fred. Sometimes though the impossible to find parts,........ are...... well impossible to find.
Unless of course your name is Fred Ballard, and you have a big shed.

Still looking, one source fell through and the other may be a bit too expensive for me-(don't know yet) Thanks!
