Selling an old capri wing for a mate and want to decipher the part number on it. I'm sure the font of all chod knowledge that is AS will be able to help, so what does all this mean?????

There's a book that has them all, you might be better asking on a Ford forum as quite a lot of people have them.

The 69 is the first year that part was used. That's about all I know.

[holbeck]

P69EG 16006 BA will be the part number

 

P              dunno

69            Model year first used

EG           code for vehicle type / body type / engine type 

16006      core part number   

BA           Engineering suffix

Hello, as an ex Ford parts man from back in the 60's and 70's  I still can remember quite a few part numbers although they are getting a bit vague now as time go's on.

Thought this might help.

200's are  Brakes and components    --    2400E 2261                               Rear wheel cylinder

300's  --  steering -------------------      --      2400E 3289                               Track rod end

400's  --  rear axle ------------------      --      2400E 4200                                Diff Assembly

500's  --  rear springs  -------------      --      2400E (5560A)                           Rear spring assembly
