I have one on my Mustang. It blots on using some of the bellhousing bolts. IIRC I got it from Mustangs Unlimited. Any of the parts houses should have them. Its an easy part to find, so get back to work!!!

Yup, I just did the same thing and I found the bracket at Sacramento Mustang in sacramento. He is right, it bolts to the bell housing and works perferctly!!

P.S. What flywheel did you use? I ended up with a 50oz 157 from ford racing and I had a problem with my old clutch pressure plate. It had a differnet bolt pattern than the newer flywheel. Now I am trying to get the linkage to move far enough back to work.Let me know if you have the same problem and how you fixed it.

early 80's ford pickups had them stock too you could go to the junk yard and find one
