Reassembling #3610

[Pat Marshall]

I received the antenna wire from John McClure of the Lincoln Farm. It's in great shape! The vacuum lines have been completely redone, so now the antenna can be put in the fender and properly hooked up.

I also got the right rear radio hanger from John. It's perfect and already in 3610. Radio (which I had refurbished) is going in soon!

3610 is coming along, but more slowly than I want.

I'll be posting some photos, so here's a few.

As I've previously said I am putting the car back together with the intention of selling not restoring. As we put it back together we're doing it as correctly as we can. As examples the car had an after-market electric antenna and we've gone back to an original vacuum one and we have installed new correct vacuum lines.

It's beginning to look a lot like a Mark II again

This is the clip that connects the vent control cable to the flip-flop valve in the fender ducting. I've only found one and I need three more.

So far, I haven't found a source. Does anyone know of one?

I've checked www.restorationspecialties.com & Mark II Enterprises - no luck.

Those tiny control cables were not used on other products, that I know of. I have some sample cables somewhere from Elmer’s stash. I’ll see if there are clips. If not, they look super simple to make of similar material. I think they used the same clips on the center console if you have a spare.

Thunderbird used them, my mistake. $2.40 each. Larry's Thunderbird under cable clip.

Outstanding! Thanks, Barry!
