1930 Model A splash pans
Curious, I'm told that the model a came with engine splash pans. 1. Is it true, and was or is it a necessity? 2. Is it something I should be looking for and what was it's function?
Tall order here, but never saw them so not sure what they look like Thanks, Tom |

1 yes, help cooling and are more direct current path for the starter rather the indirect frame/ motor mount path. 2 it's up to you, I run them.

Re: 1930 Model A splash pans
Having no splash pans fitted is lke walking around with no shoes on.
They are an essential part.

Re: 1930 Model A splash pans
Wow! Thanks, I had no idea I was missing an essential part of my coupe.
Now I'll have to keep an eye on sales for them. Do you have to fit them or do they bolt in in a specific place? Are there holes in the frame where they bolt on?? |

Re: 1930 Model A splash pans
Just put a set on mine. Holes are there, get a helper to work the top side. It'll go better !

Re: 1930 Model A splash pans
Besides helping with things like cooling, to me they also kind of dress up and finish off the engine compartment, and I much prefer having them...........

Re: 1930 Model A splash pans
If it is not a fine point show car, thread tap the holes in the frame to 5/16NF. Makes installation of the pans much easier
