I'm ready to install the front fender brace on my 40 coupe. My question is how the bottom center mounts to the front crossmember. Is it just a bolt, washer, nut or is there a spring on the bolt like the radiator mount.

Thanks, Tony

Spring and a bolt like the radiator mount.

I think this is correct but i also remember a piece of gasket or thick material that mounts on the cross member below the spring.....

You are correct about the material. It is a square of duck cloth that goes between the brace and frame.
