No matching kilt, but I do have a couple others. I need to put some padding on some of the cage bars in the rear, and I was thinking of getting some matching material and seeing if my wife would whip up a few covers that match.

ok,, i am ready to put up a final update on this particular product.
i had small pin holes in my oil pan and originally used jbweld regular stuff and rubbed it in to different spots.
I later experimented with jbweld and found out the original stuff actually becomes soft and flexible while under a heat load. this ascpect may suite some applications while in this instance,, it was a characteristic i did not want thus the original regular blend jbweld did not hold up.
i regrouped and tried jbweld 50197 product no. its called JB Weld High Heat. i was told to give it a try and looked up some vids. I was told that when it dries,, its very hard and stays hard by a road dept guy that had experience using it. It works and does stay hard well after your pan is hot. No leaks so far. I recommend having this product hanging in your shop for emergency use.
I am still in the market for an oil pay if anyone has one
It would be interesting to see how to fold the rubber in like the stock ones.
I just hope the next video isn't "How to repair your hood" video.
I generally dont post pics here anymore because when the board changes again,, all of it gets deleted anyway. its depressing to me to know that the actual historical information here is all gone.,, 100% gone. ill post topics and then a link to a vid but no more pics. my 87coug build has no more pics,, so nothing ,, no info is useful to anyone anymore.
any of my recent posts are just linked to a vid,, not monitized by the way so you dont get ads interruption.
Am i thinking of the wrong type of balancer for these?
Its the item that has your timing marks on it. ignore the pully mounted on the face (4bolt dead give away its 50oz since 1981"ish".
its the part that single bolts to the nose of the crank. It has an inner hub and an outter intertia ring. i have a spare which i will install that has good rubber. I am going to use some of my spare tractor innertube material to do the repair. I was told an old leather belt will also work perfectly fine.

I'm all for fixing things myself, but I would never take a chance on this. I use to have a pulling tractor. I've seen what damage a broken balancer can do, and that is only at 3000 rpm or less! No way would I risk my personal safety, or someone else's, on an item that can be replaced relatively inexpensively. Just my thoughts.

well,, the inertia ring is pressed on and i have a spare to compare something else.
it appears that ford folds in half a rubber flat belt,, think folding "down and around" to double the thickness. then they somehow keep the rubber in place while pressing the ring over the two layer rubber..
I have already figured out how to clock the inside to the outside parts thanks to having a spare to compare with.
I will install my spare,, but i will also do a repair vid on this. gezz,, the things that break the longer you keep equipment up and running. I sure am running into things that i would never guess would break.
