So been working on my 39 Coupe generator & regulator.
When I removed the regulator from firewall under where regulator mounts were these markings: 6T-28.

Just wondering if these are significant, original or a later addition? Car is a "NZ new vehicle" ie RHD.

Probably just a stock item stamp from Murray or Ford to identify the firewall as a RHD export panel. Only real difference from the LHD firewalls were the holes for the handbrake bracket and accelerator shaft.
On the first real early batch of 39 firewalls that came here from Canada they mistakenly put the wiring loom oval hole on the RH side.
Once they ( Ford NZ ) discovered the error it was covered with a small metal tab and another oval was cut out very roughly on the LH side with a gas axe. The slag wasn't even cleaned off as it would be hidden by the rubber grommet.
I have seen several 39's like that in NZ.

My 39 Delux Tudor has 14C 102 CHE. I, too would like know what it means.
