Topic: Console Shift Plate & Long plate screws and washers?

[Morsel]

Hi,

Does anyone have a picture of the three mount screws and maybe washers that mounted the shifter plate and long plate to the console inside the door? I was reading the library doc from Jim and see there were two styles (see attached screenshot image), one with just pan blunt screws and one with also washers, but my plates show signs of a wide ring, so I think it had the washers. I maybe wrong completely but just curious if there are any pictures out there of this mounting.

thanks,

Jason

Jason,
You should have read the sources for those items. It's at the extreme right hand side of the spreadsheet. When it says "measured", that's what I found used on several cars (most of the time more than one). Some screws were supplied with a built in washer, others were pan head. As the console was sent to the assembly line as a complete subassembly (I am not 100 percent sure of this), there is no Assembly Manual documentation. Personally, I believe that 379767-S8 is correct.

Thanks as always Jim, that helps.

For clarification, I used the drawings in the illustrated section of Ford Car Parts (aka MPC) to show where the screws are used even though the MPC shows "replacement" screws which "works" but are not factory original.
That "replacement" quirk is one of the pitfalls of the MPC.

No washers just pan head screws from these examples and others

Thanks Jeff!

One thing, notice in the top picture the one pan head for the long panel looks to be flatter, interesting, and also is similar to ones I took out of my original that I thought had been replaced 🤷‍♂️

Believe they are all the same head. May be the angle of the picture and how the long plate is higher from its picture angle in the other
