Hi All,
When I was restoring the front seat spring for my Dec.24 Touring, I found this steel tag attached to one of the springs. It has the number A85696. Does anybody know what its purpose is? A part number? Installation company? Worker's ID?
Let me know what you think, please.
Thanks,
John

Not a Ford part number or factory number. Too many digits. The only body parts that start with a letter are glass, and it starts with the letter G. No "A" body part numbers.

John,

I found the same thing when I was restoring my late 23/ early 24 touring. I posted about mine a while back, but nothing really came of the discussion.

Well, if two cars have them it must mean something.

This tag was under the back seat of my 13 touring.
Picture from a few years ago.
