Default Model B trans in model A chassis

Hello all,
Does anyone still produce the float a motor style mounts for putting a B transmission into a model A. I plan on using an A engine. The mounts attached where the steady rod mounts originally went on the B flywheel cover. I think there was a mating component that attached to the frame.
Thanks,
Scott

Jim Gordon in Rosmead CA used to make them. I do not know if he still does. He was on Garvey St.

He is also known as Ford Obsolete if memory serves.

Thought I would share my experience. I tried calling Jim several times to no avail. I called Burts Model A looking for the same parts and he said that Jim was the guy that made them but he hadnt been able to get in touch with him for about a year and a half. He said he had tried phone, email and letters. So here's hoping Jim is doing well.
