Hi Mariano and David,

Just had a look at my 1943 F-15A Parts List. I know it came out before the larger oil filter body came into use but it is of interest for the clamp part numbers.

*C29Q 18661 is a "Clamp Assembly" as shown in illustration No. 45 it is a fabricated unit which has a bracket arm attached to it. I have never seen that type of clamp assembly on a Ford CMP in Australia.

*C29Q 18662 is a "Clamp- oil filter"
Note: It is not shown in illustration No. 45. As it is also not listed in first column of parts list "Ill. No."

I suspect Mariano's diagram just used the earlier basic part number for the clamps and that most likely the clamps are *C29Q-18662 with a second version of that part number for the larger oil filter bodies requiring two different clamps.

One other possibility is the diagram is wrong (not unusual) and one clamp is number 18661 and the other is 18662 on a larger body oil filter.

As so often the case they are unique to CMP's

If anyone has a later version of a parts manual that would be a way to confirm.

Cheers,
