Thanks for the help. This is what I ended up doing: I couldn’t find just that bar stock tool for sale separately, and the only eBay seller who replied to my inquiries for getting the measurements was also selling the other seal tool I was looking for. So, I agreed to pay his BIN price $79.99 free shipping and he measured and made a good quality tracing of the bar stock tool. It is 1/2” thick, 1 1/2” wide, 10” long. When I had the tracing in hand I went to one of the few welding supply places around me (rural Appalachia), they didn’t have 1/2” thick bar/plate in the 1 1/2” width needed, so I got 1/4” thick and they cut 2 pieces to the length I need and cost $8. I’ll deburr the rough edges. If I decide to weld them together I’ll chamfer the married edges to make for nice weld surface. That’s it. Thanks again, hope this helps someone else. Bill

Thanks for your reply Enigma2. Maybe my original post wasn’t clear enough. i own the kit that consists of 4 cases of these tools, I got it for about $500 but it was missing several pieces. I searched for several months and found most of the pieces I needed at reasonable prices. The 2 specific items I’m looking for have been hard to find or overpriced. I edited my post hoping to clarify. I've been around auto forums for almost 25 years and I’m no spring chicken, old school, so I tend to respect how forums are supposed to be. I typically try to search/lurk at length so as not to ask newbie type questions that have been asked a 100 times and I actually have the patience to do so lol. Thanks everyone, I hope to find more options. Anyone here work at a Ford dealer shop? Maybe peak inside and measure that bar stock for me? Bill

Thanks for your reply. That is one of 4 boxes in the total kit, and that box does contain the individual part I’m looking for (see the blue circled tool in my pics). I have that box as well as the others in the kit, but it was missing a few of the tools, these are the last two that I need, but that blue circled one should be easy enough to make work with a piece or two of steel bar stock but I just need to get its specs/measurements.

First off, I don’t see a more appropriate section, mods if you think this needs moved somewhere else please do so, thanks. im looking for someone that has or has access to the Ford Factory Rotunda Service Tools in TKIT-2006UF-FLM, this is the kit that was put out when the Edge was introduced in 2007. I purchased a used set (meaning I have the set of 4 cases of the tools) but there were a few Individual pieces missing and I’m almost done getting them. However, one piece is impossible to find on its own as sellers pair it with another tool in the kit (so yes, I have been searching eBay etc and have asked sellers to measure it with no replies). It’s is basically a piece of bar stock steel and I just need to gets its measurements so I can get something from the welding supply place that will work. It’s part 307-584/2 and circled in blue in the two pics of the kit. I’m also in need of part 303-1251 if “reasonably” priced Considering I got the whole set of 4 cases of this tool kit for about $500, I’m hoping to get the few remaining pieces relatively cheap if possible. Any help is appreciated, thanks! Bill

Here's my $0.02: If you know most of all the history of the car, i.e. General maintenance and not hot-rodded or used to tow a lot (light duty driving), then I say go with the at least the adding a bottom drain and drain/refill it at each of the next few oil changes and then keep an eye on it there after with a drain/refill yearly. Your regular mechanic should be able to do the bottom drain for an hour shop time plus drain plug and fluids cost. If you're able to spend a few hundred dollars in labor and a handful of $ in parts, you could have him remove the PTU, open the case degrease and inspect the bearings, drill and tap for the drain and drill and tap the vent to lengthen it (as I did and mentioned in my above post), doing this is more $ but some of it is offset by not having to do the few drain/fills when doing just the drain plug tap with PTU in place. HTH, Bill

Fins, air dam, all good. I'd take anything to help. Luckily the 2008 Sable AWD (parts car 115,000 mi) PTU I pulled to swap into my 08 Taurus X AWD the gear oil was still fluid with very little evidence of cooked oil. I opened it up and cleaned and decreased it, inspected the internals. Looked pretty good! I replaced the 2 D.S. input shaft case seals and PTU-to-trans gasket seal, I also replaced the P.S. input shaft internal oil seal, case seal, and seal deflector. One of these days I'll post pics, I took a bunch and have a list somewhere of the original replaceable parts numbers (i.e., bearings). I also added a drain plug and removed the vent valve tapped for a barb fitting to fab up my own vent extension (rather than Fords $50+ part). Keep in mind I was doing this as preventative maintenance while I had the engine and tranny out for other work. HTH, Bill. p.s. Something noisey in the bank 1 firewall cyl head argh and trans won't shift right so darn car still sitting.
