Tom is on the ABCGT forum. Great guy. Here's his ad:

I have the old cables, which I can measure I guess, I just figured I could order new ones. Who knew it would be so challenging to find the right part. I will reach out to Tom. Is he on this site? Where can I find his contact info?

I think that is the correct cable, but with 2 reqd. per Stoddard. The hood pull cable looks similar but has a longer barrel. My T6 is a single cable, v'd at the front, middle, with barrels at each end.

The floor boards a two piece. Contact Tom Perazzo he makes and sells a beautiful replacement floor board for A,B & C. What also sets his offering apart is a really cool hinged trap door in the face of the passenger side for easy access into that cavity to get at your Kilo of coke.

The wire you show is for the hood or decklid pull. The wire used for the heater is plain with no sleeve of any kind at the tips. Its just heavy gauge wire close to the size that's used to bale Hay.

The only pic I have found that look close to what I remember.



I think this is the cable. Not sure about other parts like a over tube. Thought there was a thin black tube?

Besides my floor board question I also need help w heater wires. The pics ar Stoddard don't look like what I remember. I had two wires that were bent back and had little retainer keeper thingies on them at the lever under the round adjustment knob at the center tunnel. The wires I thought had some sort of barrel connectors at the end if I recall. I am trying to order new wires for installation prior to final floor install but not sure where and what to order. Thx, Mark

Can anyone tell me if my car should have one single wooden floor board or two pieces? The one that came with my car is clearly a PO cut from plywood job, but it is one piece and looks close to what might have been original. I need to order one of these and want to make sure I get the right one. 1957 T1 356A

That looks great. Too funny.... We're twins

Work continues with further detailing of floor edges, which is probably a waste of time because once this pan is welded in place it will be Seam Sealed so throughly that is will second as a bath tub. Appropriate given the nick name our cars have. Last major piece before floor goes in is very similar to work John Pierce is currently doing. Funny I made this template and first piece a couple of years ago, right before my last hiatus. So resuming this was easy. Larger gusset is also built.. Both pieces are now primed and ready for next shop visit

The bottom of my shifter rod has a spot like that where the floor was pushed in long ago. I wouldn't worry about it as you'll never introduce enough force to pull it apart. You might want to run it the other way around to reduce the chance of it being "worked" more on that spot. Or run a bead of weld and build it back up.

Looking great Mark! Amazing what progress can be made when you actually start back to working on a thing huh? I should talk.
Keep up the great progress!

Good list of things to do. Nothing wrong with OCD
