I have a repro fan. The stamp on it is 911960 K85. No SC stamp. Assume it's a 1985 dated repro part. No Ford stamp either. The fan is 16 inches in diameter. Is it a Branda repro?

Paragon Reproductions sells the asphalt wire loom too. I bought some 1/8 inch ID for my '64. Their P/N is 1654.

Is it possible that the two versions are both correct, and used at different production facilities? Afterall, like Marv points out it's the 9-1/4 inch dimension that matters most, not the location of the spring attachment hole.

BoS,
Here's a link to a pic of the clutch fork in my June '65 K-code. I'm quite sure it's original.

Here's a link to a picture from an old Mustang Monthly of a heater hose strap attached to the right shock tower support. It's an old black and white photo. Maybe one of the MCA guys has a better pic.

Just to add another thought on this, the 289 High Performance Mustang book is by all means a restorers technical guide. Other published restoration guides have supplimental data sections, probably the most recognizable one by Nolan Adams for Corvettes, which identifies casting date info vs VIN's. A similar supplimental for this book would be a terrific addition for a future edition.

I think this forum is the only place the 'bastard HEH-T's" are discussed. It's a great discussion since it seems to only affect a small number of production K's. With respect to trying to quantify this type of anomaly, an effort to define main case casting dates for these transmissions could make a case of whether they were produced by Ford outside the envelope of the published dates.
My transmission main case has a casting date of E5. If they were only produced between Aug & Sept of '64, how does, what I believe to be, a May '65 casting date equate?
Also, because of the ever higher valuation of these cars, it's possible some restorers would discard "probable original" anomalies in place of a non-originals (HEH-BX's) just to make more money on return.

Yet another HEH-T toploader to add to the growing list of HiPo Mustangs with a late '65 VIN stamp.

Wow! Ford did a heck-of-a better job with VIN stamps on San Jose built Kars than Dearborn ones. Even the stamp on my gearbox looks like the stamp on my engine block, with the characters cocked-off at an angle and not evenly spaced.
That's really good documentation round2k.

Gary:
3/16 is right.

Joe6pack: I think Ford put a guy in charge stamping VIN's that they might have been affraid to have work on anything else. My car's block has an extra digit with an X stamped over it 5 digits from the right. You can somewhat see it on the photo link:

It was done by Pony Carb's.

The ones in my car have the -KW suffix's with the 2 upper mounting tabs. You know the history of my car pretty well, matching the production dates of your car, etc. But, mine's a Dearborn car.
You can see the photos of mine here:

The S is as significant in the VIN as the K for that car. It verifies it's originality as an LT. It is a rare car believe it or not.

The one in Tony's book is mounted on a trapezoidal mounting bracket, the one on the highly optioned fastback is mounted to a circular base, and beagle1's ad shows a totally different medallion.
Seems as though it was the owner choice to mount it any which way and anyplace they wanted on the car.

Oh, okay I see... so when someone bought a dealer supplied k-code upgrade for their motor they expected you slap this somewhere on the fender, or in place of the running horse? No wonder it's rare.

I just received my 4th edition of Tony Gregory's book...Great work!
For years I have had some old medallions and insignias in boxes and one medallion in particular is a cobra insignia that has self adhesive backing. On page 95 of the 4th edition I see the same insignia with a medallion just like the ones I have in a box in my garage.
Here's a link to a photo of one of them:

My question is, what was the fender insignia used for that's shown on pg. 95 in the book?

Special Ed:
The block in my car has a the stamp 5F7J, very close to your Mustang's motor. I'm curious to know how close the date on the door tags match up to my car? My car is 09T. I've been told that this date may not correctly define the true roll-off date, or production date, but I'm still curious about cars with dates close to mine. By the way my car is a Dearborn car.
