1963 falcon convertible
Posted: Tue Aug 18, 2020 4:53 am
Hi:
I'm restoring a 1963 falcon 6 cylinder convertible, that I'm converting to a 1965 comet power steering v8 5 lug front end and 1963 falcon v8 rear end. The problem that I'm having is, there is no 2 holes in the frame rail to bolt the Power Steering Slave Cylinder bracket to the frame with the frame rail Compression Nuts. The convertible torque boxes are a little bit different, that runs into the frame rail where the Power Steering Slave Cylinder brackets bolts into. It won't let me mount the bracket flush to the frame rail without hitting some part of the bottom of the edge of the torque box. Also it won't let sit flat on the under side of the frame rail like 1963 falcon hardtops do. I hope someone have ran into this problem on there 1963 falcon or comet convertible and has a fix for it, would like to have power steering on my convert.
thanks rolling
