California Push-Pull, they made one dash pull handle to rear axle integrated ebrake for me. Can't recommend enough -

Some early 4x cables may work. I had a '68 or '69 40 twenty something years ago and I swear it had a dash mounted e-brake handle like a mini truck. But I have also forgotten a lot of sh-t since then

Prolly all the t'weed!!
If memory serves, which I suffer from CRS, too, it's short 6".....
(Have fun with that, why don't y'all...)
The I don't know how much longer the druvetrain actually is, but think the split case cable is on the opposite side, too.

Well .. This about sums that up ...

I'd be happy to send you my 2F intake and milled to fit 3FE exhausts...your 2F gasket WILL work with those. I'll even take that POS 3F manifold to the dump for you...

is it just the casting sticking into the portway cut out of the gasket? That's what the die grinder is for. All the holes should line up- you might be short a couple holes on the gasket side, but the holes that are there should match. I'll bet that what you see is as good as gasket to port matching is on these aftermarket gaskets...factory, too, no doubt..but my offer still stands...
Lack of gasket, no holes for these points.
Too many circles but not doing it again..
Anyhow, I've heard and many have seen that there are additional, unused holes in the late 2F heads. Jim C has stated numerous times that's due to the late 2F head actually being a 3F head, the latter with more manifold studs than the U.S. 2F required.
It was my assumption that this would mean the U.S. 2F manifold gasket would merely lack the holes for the unused points, but it's actually lacking gasket surface/material necessary for the 3F head.
I should've queried the masses about the next assumption, which will be proven or disproven in the coming days, that 3FE manis line up with and will, in fact mate to a late 2F head, but taking the gamble, since the alternative is waiting for a non-US 3F gasket from non-US parts suppliers.
The 3F gasket is listed as 17172-61050
3FE 17172-61060.
Close spread, so fingers are crossed.

Did you move the brackets on the radiator?
I had to, and no problems yet!

No. Still have to have room for condenser....
Thinking a few more beers and a plan may be formulated....
Had thought from the onset that custom radiator solution may be required, but awaiting the final verdict from committee.

I bet you can move the radiator forward in its brackets and still have room for condenser.
I say so b/c I want you to go forward with that plan so I can just copy the condenser you source!

I see daylight between the fan and rad; what the prollem is?
Looks like the ports line up.
Why do you need to have gasket material around the bolt holes?
I''l look to see if mine is still floating around and get it headed your way, is it just the cable you need or cable and all the bracketry?

I would think that without gasket material there, the likelihood of warping (or cracking) the manifold in those areas increases since there is nothing to fill the gap there.
Couid it be a uniform surface/thickness between the two mating surfaces?
Or bare metal of head and manifold touching?
Assumptions on my part, because, in all honesty, I don't know....
Thanks for checking!!
The cable and anything that's permanently affixed to it, like eyelet and spring.
Not that the entire drivetrain hasn't been a pain in the ass, but this split case e brake shouldve gone on a period/platform correct restoration and I should've gone with FF rear with ebrake, probably 60 width with 60 front and 60 steering.
Thought about this the other day.
To a typical enthusiast, the entire engine/druvetrain description would be more than can appreciated in conversation and even a well seasoned may not raise a brow at the mentioning of the proverbial unicorn, split case e brake.....
I can't think of a lesson learned in my life that came easy or free, so guess I'll keep living and learning.
Shouldn't need to be tighten to the point I would worry about it, if it was a concern I guy could cut some filler pieces from another gasket and stick to the bare spots with some high temp silicone for assembly as long as the ports line up the filler pieces would have no effect on sealing.
If the correct gasket was readily available it would definitely be a preference but I would run that gasket and not look back if it were me unless I’m missing something else in the pictures.
I say so b/c I want you to go forward with that plan so I can just copy the condenser you source!
Heard mention of 86-89 Benz.....but don't know if that was after the beers or serious.
You interested in the 3FE compressor?
Hep me out here....
Are you being serious or joking, 'cause I don't know....
The 3FE fan doesn't "flex" according to the 80 SC crowd, so it may not contact, idling in the driveway.
My concern is movement in the motor mounts or frame.
Is this unfounded?
If it can, it will....
My thinking, as previously stated.
3F and 3FE mani gaskets are a ten point spread, so thinking the 3FE will be a direct fit.
3FE 17162-61060
3F 17162-61050
Better odds than accustomed to!!
