No, the center bracket consisting of two U shaped stampings about 10 1/8" long.

The top is welded onto the axle tube and is in good shape. The bottom, where water can sit, was rust damaged.

I'll probably have a shop fabricate it.

This has been my experience with modified vehicles, even done by pros, for the past several decades. From Brass era cars to the present. Of course, if you took something like a Painless or M&H wiring harness and used it to replace the wiring of your Audi or Mercedes, you would be making it MORE reliable than factory.

Blue Sea is top shelf and manufactured in Washington state. The other box, probably China. Not much to go wrong with cast plastic and some tab connectors.

Center hub on the steering wheel. All I did was clean it.

Nope. The lens is clear with no back-up, so it doesn't show up well in that picture.

Ahhhh yes. The Cruise-O-Matic. Neat how the font lights up on this era FOMOCO. My '61 T-Bird and '64 Galaxie were like space ships at night, with all that cool green lit up. Far superior to GM at that time.

It now controls an AOD.

GM dashes always seemed to be designed by three different people who never talked to each other. Fords were just done right.

Yeah they are still on the body, well at least from a picture I took at the junkyard…. They’re probably worse then what you have on yours…..
