Does anyone sell a firewall reinforcement plate for the clutch master cylinder area. The firewall on my FrankenRanger drive truck is starting to rip and I want to head off future trouble.

Thanks, Mike

 

Not that I know of, but should be easy enough to make from aluminum or steel plate. What year is your truck Mike?

 

Thanks Wendell!
It is a 1992 Extended cab 2X4 with 3.0 5sp that I completely rebuilt back to factory specks. It is the only truck I have owned that everything in and on it works! The body panels are all different colors outside since I built the truck from 5 other trucks so I named it the FrankenRanger and do not intend to paint it all one color but plan to keep it the FrankenRanger!

I see a lot of cabs with the firewall rip around the clutch master cylinder. If I find that there is a need across a few different generations of Ranger for this fix, I will do my best to look into manufacturing a plate and putting them together in turn key kits. So far I see two cabs in my inventory with the rip so maybe there is a need for this.

If someone knows of a kit already out there, please let me know so I can get one on my truck before it breaks further!

 

That sounds like an awesome idea, these fixes have to start somewhere. It's these inovative idea's that keep america great and wealthy ha ha. "GOODLUCK"!!!!!'
IF ANYONE KNOWS OF THESE PROBLEM, PLEASE REPLY!!!

 

I know the earlier F-150's (mid to late 80's?) had this problem, and there was actually a kit available from Ford to fix it. Don't know if that would be of any help...
