Identification of F15 2WD?

[Ganmain Tony]

Thanks Mike for the kind words and helpful suggestions.

Spot on with the roof. I had no other option as the original roof has been chopped to accomodate the modification of the windscreen.

This roof that we repaired and painted was in pretty good nick and the only one available to me.

If anyone has a Canadian Ford roof I would be very interested to hear from you.

Been a bloody fiddly job. Got there in the end.

Boots are from Macs but I dont think they are the correct ones.

They will do the job required none the less.

Finally all the brake lines are in.

Not sure why but the last picture is on its side. Any chance one of the moderators could fix please?

Here you go...

[Ganmain Tony]

Interesting.... have forum members seen these before?

(Ive no doubt some will have)

Im referring to the bracket attached to the rear spring that clamps to the handbrake cable.

Same thing again chaps. Last image is on its side (sorry).

They look like they would have frequently broken but do lift the cable somewhat out of the way of prospective branches and stumps.

You should have asked. I have a couple NOS.

Ok, asking now...

Pizza's and beer definitely on me next year at Corowa Keefy.

Additional reimbursement, if required, goes without saying.

I've seen remnants of these on springs but never the complete thing in place so it seems you are right about them often being broken. I hope you can put up dimensions for them so others can recreate them - including me for the 15cwt CMP trailer I'm working on (the trailer uses 15cwt Ford springs). Useful dimensions would be: stock size, spacing between holes and hole sizes.

Hi Grant et al,

Thought I would jump in here to get the ball rolling. I had two springs laying around so it was easy to get to the broken remnants to get the dimensions as a starter. See attached photo.

All we need is the length from the spring clip hole to the cable clamp hole. The rest can be pretty well deduced. I would think the clamp hole would be 9/32" diameter to accommodate a 1/4" bolt which it looks like in the photos.

Interestingly the brackets were mounted on different spring clips and not directly across from each other.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers

Hoping this is of some help.

Bolt head and nut 7/16 (or 11mm spanner/socket)

Third picture shows total length of clamp strap.

I wrapped the tape measure around the strap.

Images arent great but the focus should be on the tape measure.

First image is misleading, due to phone camera lens but the tape measure is positioned tip to tip from one end of the strap to the other.

Thanks Jacques for some incredibly helpful info.

Haha, look forward to it! Those little clips are interesting, I've seen them before but I don't think I've ever seen them connected.
