The arm attached to the cross member is the anchor for the clutch cylinder.
If I ever do another installation I will record the Spicer parts numbers.
Basically you get a catalog and find a yoke with a 6 spline to fit the Ford driveshaft and a yoke that matches the output spline of the transmission and put them together with a common cross.
The whole cross member was fabricated. No original parts. There is just a flat plate that the clam bolts to.
The driveline and torque tube will have to be shortened depending on what car it is in.

Pete,
This looks like a simple and effect setup. A couple more questions -
Did you use a grease seal in the plate that the clamshell bolts to so differential grease traveling up the torque tube doesn't leak and dirt doesn't get in?
Did you fix either of the yokes (T5 or driveshaft) or does the whole assembly float between the T5 output shaft and Ford driveshaft?
Thanks for sharing this.
