Anybody know a supplier who has nuts to fit the 1/2-18 threads on back of the 36 Ford rumble seat pads -- or who supplies a tap that size so someone could fabricate the nut? Thanks! Larry Lange / Puget Sound Regional Group larrylange36@comcast.net

If Roy does not have them, you can acquire a 1/2"-18 tap at any decent tool supply company. Or, any competent machinist can cut the threads on a lathe.

That is a 1/2-18 thread and you will have to order a special tap at a machine shop supply store, since NC is 1/2-13 and NF is 1/2-20. The special thread taps are not as expensive as they may seem. The lower step is part of the tail light bracket and the upper, see below.

McMaster-Carr has 1/2-18 taps in the "special tap size" section, it isn't cheap though, about $35.00. It's an odd size but if you need it what can you do.

To those new to the hobby: Ford used a variety of unusual fasteners and threads, so don't discard any that can be reused. I've amassed a large coffee can full over the years, and it gets searched often.

Thanks much, 40 Coupe, for that very good drawing of the upper rumble step pad. Do you know who drew up the sketch showing dimensions and radii? I've seen Don Rogers' graphic of the hardware but not the drawing. Did Don supply that, also? Larry Lange / PSRG

Larry: Don supplied most of the detail in the drawing, I supplied some of the photos. I did not know Don was going to use them in this manor or I would have taken them in a better light.
