Power Steering Parts
I am searching for a power steering reservoir cover ( also called a lid ) for my 1954 Victoria . To complicate things , someone installed a 1955 complete setup at one time . Due to availability , will 1955 Thunderbird parts fit ?

Re: Power Steering Parts
Can you post the DIA of the reservoir?
It is presently the correct FORD ... - CORRECTION - EATON pump on it now?

Re: Power Steering Parts
The diameter of the reservoir is 16 inches ; I replaced the pump with a rebuilt from Concours Parts. i identified the setup as 55/56 due to the fact that the pressure hose goes to the pump and the return hose goes to the reservoir as opposed to both going to the pump like a 54 and early 55 .

If certain a 55, the cover is PN C0SS 3A582-A and was used on most V8 EATON PUMPS through the fifties (1955/ ). - https://www.npdlink.com/product/cove...on-pump/144804 Do you need a dipstick or any hardware or gasket?

Re: Power Steering Parts
sorry ; that's what happens when you send somebody else to measure and I should know that the number was circumference not diameter . Thanks for the part number.

 But you are OK ...  BTW, FORD and BIRD did use the same pump - CORRECTION - pump reservoir.
