'40 coupe bumper bracket
 

While preparing the front bumper brackets I noticed a difference in shape and lengths of part A and B. Part c and d are the same.

Comparing A and B measurement one is 19 inches tip-to-tip while the other one measures 20 3/4 inches tip-to-tip.

Surely, 20 3/4 is correct for both; does anyone know for sure?


thank you,

I'm not sure what "correct" is, but both mine measure 20 1/4". Your A bracket is just bent more out of shape than the B. :)

There is a difference between Standard and DeLuxe brackets for grill spacing. KUBE would have explicit details. DD

The Drake catalogue has a great picture with dimensions. Good Luck: Fred A

It appears your "A" brace is bent.
The "A" and "B" braces are 19 1/4" when measured tip to tip on a DeLuxe model. The Ford V8 model "A" and "B" braces were 18" if I recall correctly.
