=20
    I loosely installed the generator bracket on my B382 series Tiger =
and
placed the C3OZ-9180-A reproduction bracket at the lower generator =
bracket
mount hole - it was right there at the fuel line.  This bracket will
stabilize the fuel line at the front of the engine.
=20
    I still want to disconnect the fuel lines so they are floating, then =
I
can get a better look at the alignment of all the fuel line brackets and
fuel lines on the engine.   I also want to do some clean up work on all
these parts.
=20
C3OZ-91-A - NPD part # 9180-0A
=20
    This bracket is very close to the original but not an exact =
reproduction
of the original Ford part.    Bob Mannel's Ford Small Block book has
pictures of the original bracket and I would say the bend of the
reproduction part is tighter than the original part.  Bob Mannel also =
stated
to me that this bracket was painted on the engine - the screw and clip =
were
installed later.
=20
The part I received looked like the tooling was at end of life, the part
needed some file work to clean up the pointy and sharp edges.   I also
hammered a larger radius at the bend and the mount hole was drill to =
3/8"
for the 3/8" generator bracket mount bolt.
=20
I don't know what the Mk II bracket looks like.   The Parts List =
indicates a
different part # so that makes me believe it is a different part.  =
Currently
I believe it is a 1965 style bracket with a screw but I hate to just =
assume
this is correct without proof. =20
=20
Any Mk II owners have an original fuel line bracket mounted to the front =
of
the engine?
