Brattons used to use the Ford PN numbering system but for some bizarre reason they got a nastygram from a Ford lawyer that made them change. Comparing to other suppliers I don't see that anyone else had to drop the Ford numbers.
Tbird,you are probably correct. I've been using the barrel drive from Snyders for eight years with no problems. It just seems that a near 50% increase is kinda getting up there. Tom is right about other vendors having to pay Ford Motor Company to use the original part numbering system. It seemed a bit nitty to me!!!
