Heater Hose support question
« on: July 23, 2021, 11:44:19 AM »
I have a Dearborn 65 K code convertible that I am considering putting this heater hose support on :

Would my car have come with this on it ?

Most likely, yes.  The style and how it was installed can vary through the production year and assembly plant.  Best to post your cars' scheduled build date and assembly plant (works good to add to signature also).

Thanks Charles.
My Kar was built December 10 in Dearborn

Does anyone have pictures of how theirs is mounted ?

No smoking gun but a few pictures to look at from same plant, production period and engine code. Upper right picture is from an unrestored K code conv. Showing the rear hole.  To my eye it doesn't appear that that hole has ever been used but others might differ. The forward most hole (poor picture) appears even less likely but, again can't be certain.

Just trying to help

Not sure if they helped or confused the situation since there is no clear findings. But I tried given what I've got
