Ford reconditioned cylinder brass plate
I have removed this curved brass Ford reconditioned brass plate from a 1934 Ford V8 Engine bell housing, what I would like to know would this engine have been reconditioned at the Ford Seaview Plant New Zealand 28/5/47 sometime, and what years would have this Plant reconditioned Ford engines.
Apparently some Ford dealers in N.Z. who reconditioned engines placed their own plate on the bell housing. |

Re: Ford reconditioned cylinder brass plate
It is possible that the re-builder had no connection with Ford but was a Ford authorized re-builder that was allowed to use the Ford plate.

Re: Ford reconditioned cylinder brass plate
Hi Ian.I have a 59A engine with an identical plate.Only it was re conditioned in 1955.Only 7 or 8 years old and bored to 45 thou.My take would be that only certain reconditioners would be sanctioned to use that plate.I was told that service agents carried a stock of motors and the exchange was done in one day.Geoff

Re: Ford reconditioned cylinder brass plate
Yes Ian.That could very well be the case that Ford reconditioned their own engines as there is nothing on the plate to indicate otherwise.The recognized service agents in Christchurch was the same company that sold all the Ford vehicles.My plate has,8RT as well as C59A stamped on it. Perhaps a truck engine ?Geoff

Re: Ford reconditioned cylinder brass plate
"Back in the Day" around 1960, I had a rebuilt engine installed in my '53 Merc by Sun Motor Exchange in Phoenix. Seemed like it was in and out in a day, and it did have a tag similar to the one above. Don't think it said "Ford" on it, but it may have. (Geesh, it's been 55 years)
