Apparently I've never had one. Just replaced a Bendix bolt and noticed that I should have one. The bracket goes from the top bolt of the starter to one of the bolts on the oil pan. It's part #11140 according to the manual.

Anyone have one of these they can spare or know where I can get one?

Obviously I've been getting by without one but I'd rather not risk stripping the 2 bolts that hold the starter to the motor.

Thanks in advance,

Mark Hendricks

 

I made one, it isn't too hard. Unless someone has an extra, I don't know of any available. JobLot, maybe.

 

early ford v-8 sales in ballston spa, ny has them for $3.95 plus shipping. it you realy, realy don't want to make your own, that might be an option. the main value of them is to stabilize the starter to prevent jamming the bendix gear into the flywheel (been there, done that) is it ok to mention a vendor here?? dick r.

 

You can mention vendors here, you can even provide website or other hyperlinks. Thanks for the heads up. Can you give me the hyperlink to the site where you found the bracket.

Health issues preclude me from doing the smart thing, which would be to build my own bracket.

Thanks guys.

 

here's early ford v-8 sales site: Early Ford V8 Sales, Early Ford Parts, Classic Car Sales, Antique, Restoration, Cars, Trucks good luck, dick r

 

I assume that this is Dick Spadero's business. Yes?. I did not see his name on the website provided and I thought that he was in business a lot before 1993. Did he sell it perhaps?

 

FYI: 11140 is just the basic part number.

Only basic part numbers are shown in all the Ford parts catalog illustrations.

To get the complete bracket part number, you need to look in the parts catalog text.

The complete bracket part number is 1A-11140-A, it also was used on passenger cars.

 

early ford v-8 is owned by lou and carole grosso. they are located in curtis industrial park on route 67 just outside of the village of ballston spa, ny. dick spadero, i believe, is still in business, i think south of albany somewhere, selkirk? dick r
