decals & stickers
« on: Thursday,April 16, 2015, 09:11:43 AM »
Hello all
Does anyone have any info as to what a 72 TC would have had in the way of stickers / decals when it left the factory, e.g load ratings, engine bay fluids etc?
If so, do you have any photos and  know where to purchase them.
Regards
Phil

There are two plaques that came on my car. I have a '73/'74 TC Special but I expect these plaques were on the '72 also. The first one was found on the inside of the front trunk on the forward wall (so it faces toward the cabin). The emission plaque was found in the engine compartment. I've made changes in my car so I don't remember exactly where it was but I think it was above the boosters on the driver's side. In addition, r.d. enterprises sells a 'Federal Conformity Label' and a 'TwinCam Stromberg Airbox Label'. I don't remember those, but then that was a long time ago...

I don't know if the plaques are available any more, but Dave Bean has a lot of vintage stuff so you might give him a call if you need either of those.

You car appears to be built in March/April  1972.

I have a federal spec TC built in June 1972.

If you want me to post photos of the plates, just let me know. I am in Norfolk UK.

Hi All

I would also like a couple of the rubber supports which are stretched under the seat squabs, any ideas where I can purchase them please?

First try Banks and RD Enterprises.  After that, an upholstery shop.

Photos taken. Too bigger file size to post here. If you give me your email address, I can send you them.

Whereabouts in the UK are you?

The back of the glove/cubby box has a foil sticker with tire size, inflation pressure, capacity.... I'm not at my garage, so can't take a picture but here's an example
Is there a similar one on the driver's door sill?
