Okay
I know most here on the barn could care less about the European V8's.....BUT you still have to be amazed with this score. I.. (We....dad and me) are of the maybe 5 or so collectors in the world who A)care about the Euro's.........B) are one of maybe 50 or so who own one (OR more) Euro V8 and thus I follow and hunt many areas on line for the "hard to find" or "Euro only" parts of these cars. I hadn't searched one area of a particular sight in awhile and just happened to go looking and the first thing that popped up were these "Ford Script" trafficators. As we come to the end of our 32 project these are the "absolute" icing on the cake!!! Can't tell you how unusual and difficult these are to find. Just thought I'd share my elation and excitement as we are about the only ones who need or want them and can 'USE" them most of all!!! |
Re: Still Amazing how things happen I really appreciate your enthusiasm for finding cool stuff. I'm sure these were like finding a needle in a haystack.

Yes it is BUT its more amazing that these were one of the last thing on our car to get installed and holding it from getting done....we were still working with a fitment issue and just how to make a part work (A missing piece piece on our existing ones) and low these pop up.....NOT only "Ford Script" BUT complete with the missing part SO its just amazing the timing and the fact we really needed them!!!! |
Re: Still Amazing how things happen Robert.........Let me test those babies out on my '32 pickup, I'll have them back to you in no more than 30 years.

Re: Still Amazing how things happen Have seen the built in 'Semaphores' on European cars.
These seem to be optional equipment. Generally, where on the vehicle were they mounted? |

Great score. You deserve them.
This stunning gem was in a collection I visited last time back in New Zealand is it Euro or English. Cheers Tony |
Re: Still Amazing how things happen Congratulations! Sometimes things just work out right. About 20 years ago, I broke a stock exhaust rocker arm on the Engle roller cam in the Hemi in my dirt modified. The very next weekend at a swap meet I was digging through a bunch of junk looking for one measly stock exhaust rocker arm when I found 7 Donovan forged units. The price? A princely $35! It took me a year to find the eighth rocker and it cost me $75. (I ran with 7 forged and one stock the rest of the year; I had spares.:D)

Re: Still Amazing how things happen Great find, Robert.

Re: Still Amazing how things happen Amazing, you must have done something right in a former life!
I'd like a pair about two feet long for the '39 1-1/2 ton . . . |

I think Tony's picture is of a "Matford" (possibly earlier than my two pic's -OR- the English counterpart), here is the "36-ish 37" you speak of and can see the difference.
