California Twinsonic CTS Motor Nount

Ford-Dealer

This may be well known information to alot of you, but I didn't know it, so I wanted to share this info. For all of you out there, who are planning to make a CTS out of a traditional twinsonic, keep this little tidbit of info in mind.

The motor mount/gearset is different. It is best described as \"Upside Down\".

I purchased the guts out of a CTS, and told the guy I didn't need the motor, as mine was just fine. In hindsight, that was a mistake as I have called him, and much to my dismay, he tossed the bent frame, motor and mount in a dumpster a few days ago. Crying or Very sad

I can make this one work IF....and I have tried many number of things, to get the roll pins out of the gearset shafts, so I can \"Flip\" them to the correct position. Also, I am going to have to tap threads into the motor mount itself. The holes are there, but no threads. I wish THAT was the only problem! Any ideas? I would love to hear any hints that you folks might have.

I checked my inventory of parts but I found nothing to help you . However try this web site . It is a guy in Maine that restores old twinsonicsand even has a picture on his first page of a restored CTS bar. hope this helps.

I have seen that sight before. Sadly, there is no contact info, nor is there a e-mail link on that page. Crying or Very sad

I spent some time yesterday with a punch set, and actually goth the roll pins to come out. I flipped the gears and axles, and TA DA! It works! The lightbar is all put together! Very Happy

Everything fit as it should, and was a snap to complete.
