Need Bendix booster brackets

Ok, it's not an easy answer. What is the production date of the car you took pictures of? What is the date of the Ford change notice paperwork for the spacer? Even so, it might not be consecutively changed over to the new booster/spacer.

Here is what I know about the Tbird. It was scheduled for production on 26 July, 1960, according to the Data Plate.

The VTCI OFS has these notes regarding the 1960 352ci with AC and the Bendex booster.

Year-- Engine-- A/C-- Part Nr.-------- Booster Type---- Notes--------------Reference
1960-- 352----Yes---B9SS 2A025-A Bendix (Late)-r/b Adapter Kit used---FD 7752-60 P. 11
-----------------------B9SZ 2005-A--------------------------------------- AF 7681 P. 19

There is no indication of a change date given.

See the following thread, post #15. Product letter 488 sht 2 is attached that discusses the install and provides the various part numbers associated with the Booster spacer bracket.

The Service letter date is 9-29-60.

I have been in contact with Gearhead Cruisers of North Dakota regarding their firewall mounting bracket for the dual mc/dual power booster conversion. They also see the equipment for these conversions. They list it at $75. I had asked the company if it would work on a '58-'60 Squarebird with AC. She called me back today to say that she could not say for sure if it would. She also said the only person who could tell her was her husband, and he passed away three weeks ago. She is going to do some further research to see if it can be used on our Squarebirds with AC as is. I will let you know if she gets back with me. Here is their website.
