Whose the vendor

It looks like the part number is 13a808 or 15a808

Never thought of that, what a fantastic idea. That'll save a bunch of money seeing how I ordered a radiator and noticed a day later it was a drivers side trans line radiator. I know the early bird radiators are more expensive

Could you post the part number for online tubes? I looked at their inventory and couldn't find re directed trans lines. I think they say that they follow the factory routing

You said you extended the trans cooling lines? I'm interested in learning more about this. Did you make custom lines, or is there some available so I can make the switch

I have what I believe to be an early 61 tbird. I noticed the trans lines are entering and exiting on the passenger side of the radiator. Sourcing parts I noticed all the replacements have the trans lines going in the driverside. Did they switch the routing or the actual outputs on transmission? I no...

The bendix wasnt returning fully after completion of the starting sequence. Got another bendix piece..... Does anybody on here know if there's supposed to be 2 short and one long bolt on that starter

Hey I have a 1961 thunderbird that came with factory ac originally. I don't have the compressor unit and I don't really need ac. I was wondering what the diff was between the 2 radiators. I noticed "will not fit cars with factory ac" on a lot of the radiators for sale out there. Is it a si...

Yes, factory replacement i guess you could call it.

I did a custom exhaust on my 61'. Obviously, i had to remove starter to get to that passenger side manifold. Anyways, I got the exhaust done and put the starter back in and started it all up and there is now a zinging? Sound that seems to be coming from the flywheel/starter area. I can tell u right ...

Hey believe it or not I found the brake bracket from the birds nest. Unfortunately I was under the assumption that I would be able to use my custom stainless flexible lines but it looks like the splitter block is molded to the rubber hose

Does anybody know where to get a distribution block for the rear for my 1961? It's an impossible task

I got all new brake lines and hoses for my 1961 Thunderbird. I have had no problem sourcing parts for it, at all. Although, yesterday I noticed I am going to need a replacement bracket. In the Ford literature it is listed as part #2282, which I believe is a misprint. As the hoses themselves share th...
