Default '51 o/d cable holder

My '51 Tudor was not an O/D car originally but it is getting one now after Mac Vanpelt built me a trans. One piece I am lacking is the bracket or holder that secures the cable housing from moving at the transmission end, I believe it uses one of the tranny side cover bolts? I did this swap on a previous '51 but I can't remember the details. Any details (or a picture!) most appreciated.


Thanks!

Tim, if you do have one I would be grateful if I could get that from you for whatever you need for it. Thanks.

I can't speak on the Fords but my 51 Mercury has a tapped bolt hole above and centered between the shift arms on the side cover where a bolt and clamp attach to secure the cable housing.

Yes , I will go looking this morning. We are still getting things organized after moving 2200 miles east and having my shop built last year. So it may take some searching. Tim.
