Paul, if convenient I'd like to see a picture of the front fuel line
bracket. it's possible the part was eliminated with the transition to the
Alternator on the Mark 2, or it may have been lost somewhere before I
bought the car in '76. Strange things happened to the dipstick bracket
somewhere along the way. Maybe there's a connection.
Thanks,
Tom
'67 Mark 2
