Ford Flathead Power Steering System Generator Bracket
The pump and bracket can be mounted to the cradle-style generator bracket (as in this application) as well as to the early one-piece generator (above right), or aftermarket alternator mounting yokes (above left). For Flatheads with side-mounted generators, the pump can be mounted directly to the front pad on the intake manifold using a spacer to line up the belts.

Ford Flathead Power Steering System Blundell Horn Saver
For many, the solution to the horn problem is a horn button mounted somewhere on the dash instead of in the center of the steering wheel, where Mother Nature intended. For Blundell, the solution is the Horn Saver, a kit designed to keep the horn wires in the column without interfering with the U-joints.

Ford Flathead Power Steering System Floor Brace
In addition to the Column Saver kit, Blundell offers a floor brace that anchors the Ford 1-inch steering column using a set screw. The brace was designed specifically for F-1 applications but may be adapted to other vehicles. It features cut-outs for the clutch and brake pedals and for the shifter linkage on "three-on-the-tree" columns. Floor mounts are also available from aftermarket column manufacturers, including ididit (www.ididitinc.com) and Flaming River (www.flamingriver.com).
