T-3263 Magneto Contact Spacer.
I saw this in the Service Bulletins and wanted to ask if anyone might have an example of this spacer?

Re: T-3263 Magneto Contact Spacer.
Is it really a spacer, or is it an adapter to be able to use the newer screw-in magneto post used of the improved T's on an earlier car.

Re: T-3263 Magneto Contact Spacer.
Reading the description of the new spacer it seems like it’s made to replace the older style magneto contact with the later contact using the same screws. I don’t recall seeing one.
It does seem to be an adapter to me.

Whatever the reason for its production, it sure simplifies removing the mag. post for maintenance !

Re: T-3263 Magneto Contact Spacer.
Thank you for those that responded. Hard to imagine that there was a "real" need for this spacer (Ford called/labeled it a spacer, it is a spacer albeit to adapt the later magneto post to fit), but more than one person must have thought so. For those that have them, is it a cast iron or more of a zinc diecast?
