Hey Folks, been tracking down leaks and repairing a few issues with my '55 Montclair Merc-o-Matic tranny and in the process discovered that the bracket that secures the transmission dipstick tube to the engine is missing. Larry's T-Birds and Mac's stock a bracket for the mid 50's T-Birds but the tube for them is different and the bracket doesn't appear to cross over to the big Fords and Mercs. The original bracket "wrapped" around the dipstick tube but the end that secures it to the back of the engine or bell housing is a mystery. If anyone has a '55 or '56 Mercury and can tell me where the bracket bolts up to the engine then I can fabricate something that should come close to resembling the original. It seems like it would be pretty obvious as to where it would bolt up but not in this case and I can't find any photos that show it either. Thanks in advance for any help provided.
