1967 lower console
« on: October 15, 2019, 06:42:05 PM »
All,

First, thank you all for all the help you have given to date.

Does anyone have pictures or diagram of early 67 lower console build for an automatic? I have the original base and got some parts from other folks and even have the original hardware from AMK I would like to use the original hardware. I am ok with the speed nuts they supplied but how about the other screws and such. How specif ally does it install? And with what hardware? I prefer not to miss a beat. Assistance is appreciated. Can't find anything online except generic descriptions.

Get a set of Osborn Productions "Mustang Assembly Manuals" for your car. In addition, download the 75 Ford Car Parts (aka MPC). It is a 430 MB file consisting of 45 files.

Jim,

This is great thank you. I just don't know how to correlate the part number on the Osborn sheet to an actual screw or part. Is there a description or legend of some sort somewhere?

The Osborn is sometimes, and MPC diagrams are usually limited to the "basic part number".  Once you pick a basic part number from a diagram, such as the 045B72, you then look that up in the text area of the diagram.  When the Osborn manual lists the complete part number, sometimes it does not call out all of the individual components like the MPC.  The Osborn manuals however will show how the assemblies are installed, the MPC is not purposed for that.

In the text portion you will see that the 045B72 is described as "panel - console finish - rear - includes attaching parts".  This particular part has 5 variations, 3 for the 67 year.

You can do this for each part.

Jim mentioned the price is right free 65-72 MPC, but I like to point out that the 60-68 MPC is available for purchase and the quality is a step change better, as is the ability to search and find text.

Fasteners are a bit different.  Using the diagram as an example, pick screw 55927-S2.  To look this up you need a Ford standard and utility parts catalog (aka the fastener manual), or perhaps the cheaper route would be to look at the AMK web site.  The Ford fastener manuals are available at NPD and probably others.

In this particular case, the 55927 was not in the 1969 version of the fastener manual.  I did a browser based search and found them for $0.20 at FordPartsGiant.com.  Never heard of them, but a clever name.  You can also look at amkproducts.com or look at your favorite Mustang parts supplier.

I looked up 352000-S.  That I did find in the fastener manual.  Win some, lose some.

There are a lot of options out there.  We talked about a few versions of the MPC, the standard and utility parts catalogs, the AMK web site (and available book), and general internet searches.  There is no single place to get all of the answers.

Right.
The 65-72 appears to be a scan or picture of each page. It has no search capability.
The 60-68 appears to have been scanned to PDF so you can do a search for a particular part number as the text is indeed text.

I've used the Assembly Manual part number listing to search through Jim's library Excel and found nuts bolts and other fasteners that way.

It's amazing what you can do if you have the 60-68 MPC, the Assembly Manual (all of them for your year), the AMK manual or a Google "site://amkproducts.com" search.

By the way, the Microsoft Snip & Sketch tool -- a screen, area of screen copy tool -- gets around the annoying "cannot copy" error in some copy protected PDFs. The old tool Snip tool couldn't do this.

Regarding the 60-68 version, that was a labor of love by Bob (196667Bob) and I.  Each page was indeed scanned at a commercial grade quality, and the document underwent OCR text recognition scanning.  We added bookmarks, changed page orientation where it made sense for some of the diagrams, and a few other little touches.   I'm glad that it is getting some use by others.

The main hitch with the text recognition is that when there are a combination of letters such as C0AZ or C1AE, the zero is interpreted as the letter "o" and the one is interpreted as the letter "i".  Guilt by association.

You could look the part number in the Mustang Hardware Spreadsheet in the library. You will find a description of the item, with a source for that description. Unfortunately the spreadsheets do not give a replacement source.
Examples:
55927-S2   2   FF156   8-18X1/2PAN 5/16,XREC,TPG                           SCREW,PAN,PHLPS,TPG
352000-S   0   FS5-29   5/32OD,3/32H,BUMPER,1 1/2OA L,5/64HOLE   BUMPER,RUBBER
