[Tigers] Fuel line Bracket - update

[Ron Fraser]

FYI
 
6100292    C3OZ-9180-A    Bracket    Mk I
6100909                           Bracket    Mk II
 
    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.
 
    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.
 
C3OZ-91-A - NPD part # 9180-0A
 
    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.
 
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.
 
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.  
 
Any Mk II owners have an original fuel line bracket mounted to the front of
the engine?
