:newhere: As I bought one of my TC:s partly "in boxes" I have a bracket that I cannot place.
It has been mounted somewhere in the enginge compartment and has been galvanized together with other brackets (that I can identify :pirate:)
The car is a UK spec 1972 Twincam with a 352 gearbox.
There is also a remote possibility that there has been a mixup and this part really belongs to some other project from the seller...

Looks as though it is part of the gear linkage assembly bolted to the chassis
-
It doesn’t look like any Europa part I’ve seen. When my car was new, it had a 365 which uses a similar shift linkage. It sounds like it’s something the DPO put on.

It doesnt look like a part on my 74 Special (with a 365 gearbox) gear Iinkage, which is fundamentally the same as a 352 linkage I believe. The only part that bolts to the chassis is the gear lever, everything else bolts to the clutch housing or the selector shaft at the back of the gearbox.
I don't recognise the part from mine. Could it me a throttle/choke/clutch cable mounting that has been "improved/redesigned" by a previous owner?
-
Not exactly the same but it appears to be similar to the part that I used to move the clutch cable attachment from the chassis to the engine block.
-
Not exactly the same but, this is what I thought it could be part of. This is the gear shift rocker assembly on my Banks modded NG1 transmission
-
It is pointing in the wrong direction for the block mounted clutch cable bracket.
I have never seem anything like that in the 7 that I have rebuilt.
