The Throttle and Choke knobs in 01A-9279AS are correct for the 11, 12 and 13 cab Ford CMP. Just think, I bought a set just for the T&C and threw the rest away!

Mirror Bracket Dimensions
Eric,
Attached is my best quick effort in a drawing of the measurements of the mirror bracket. A bit amateurish but hope it gives you the information you seek. The mounting plate (2 3/4" by 1 1/2") is 1/4" plate. The bottom hole in it is 1/2" on center from the bottom with the second hole 1 1/4" on center from the bottom hole. The knuckle was the original piece that was used to attach the mirror to the bracket; we welded a 1/8" thick tab to the outside edge of the rod 1/4" from the end and drilled the appropriate size hole for the morrors we purchased from NAPA. The mirror shown is the backside of the original. By the way the original rod was 5/8" in diameter starting at the mounting plate and tapering to 1/2" at the end; we used a 1/2", non-tapering rod.

Dash Knobs for my F8
Tony,
I'd previously checked out the knobs in both Mac's and Carpenter's catalog and ruled them out as they appear to have the "hook" shaft that locks into the switch box cast into them. I tried to remove this shaft from the originals and were unable to do so. If this shaft can be easily removed from the reproduction ones I'll buy them. At $8 USD each I didn't want to purchase four of them and find that they couldn't be used. As for the throttle and choke knobs, the originals are in fairly good condition and I'm using them as they are (with a bit of cleaning!). Thanks for your suggestion! Regards, Jim

Day 230
It was an 11th hour effort to get the truck ready for the military vehicle show this past weekend but we made it!
Here's what we got accomplished in the interim: Installed the newly painted battery box. Installed the windshield. Hooked up the throttle. Installed the voltage gauge. Was successful in getting it tweaked to work in a 12 volt system! Installed the outside rear view mirrors. Installed the windshield wipers. (Although I'd carefully cleaned both the passenger side one won't complete its cycle. Will have to take it apart again!  )Picked up the vehicle markings from a local sign maker. I decided on using that for the The Queen's Own rifles, 60th Rifle Co. They were part of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division during WWII> Picked up the newly painted roof and rear window section and bolted it on. Was't ready for pickup until Friday morning and we had planned on leaving for the military vehicle show at 2 PM. Made it! However, the trailer had develpoed a flat tire overnight and we had to fix it before we left!  Got numerous compliments from all at the show. Mine was the only Canadian vehicle there. Was worth all the effort we put in to get it ready! Am taking some time off from the truck. I've been neglecting some other projects and need to address them. However, I will be putting together the plans for the tool box group as well as the spare tire brackets and hope to have them installed by the early part of March. Will keep you all posted. (By the way, the container with my tires is on the dock in Sydney!  ) Sooo, any further updates will come at a slower pace! Regards, Jim
