What was mounted on my FIREWALL? I have uncovered FIVE holes on the firewall that were filled with body filler...Does anyone know what could've been mounted there? Three across the top and two below, forming a W pattern. Lets' test your knowledge here and see if you know! thanks
Once again I am not able to upload a picture...this site sucks! |
Re: What was mounted on my FIREWALL? Pics would help a lot :)
What size are the holes 1/8 or 3/4 |
Re: What was mounted on my FIREWALL? Why can't you upload pictures:confused:

It could have been a: Headlight relay, Water type heater accessory, Battery mount, A fuse block, a bracket for carrying oil or water can. GW |
Re: What was mounted on my FIREWALL? Most likely a battery tray. A lot of cars had the battery moved to the firewall many years ago. Some argue it should have been there all along, as it is most inconvenient to get at in the original location.

Re: What was mounted on my FIREWALL? I've seen toolboxes mounted under the hood of more than one Model A. Battery box
is one of the more likely guesses, for sure! |
Re: What was mounted on my FIREWALL? Several years ago we ran an article in the Model A Times that showed a burglar alarm that attached to the firewall it could have been that.

If you try to post photos from your computer and have not downsized them, it will just hang up and not tell you why. 800 pixels wide is the largest it will take on thumbnails. MIKE :) |
Re: What was mounted on my FIREWALL? Is it your intention to find and reinstall whatever? I have a firewall that had 48 extra holes. Walk thru the auto parts store and select one of each!!

Battery box.
I wonder what was mounted on my son's firewall? |

Three holes across the top and two beneath. The holes are inset and almost appear to have accepted a tapered secrew head. Nothing looks as if it mounted inside and the car was obviously painted after the holes were filled with filler. Any helpful suggestions appreciated. And YES i would like to reinstall what ever it was to take it back to the correct time period. To answer a simple question in advance I would ask the original owner but he passed away years ago.

Re: What was mounted on my FIREWALL? Originally nothing was mounted there.

Re: What was mounted on my FIREWALL? Looks like bullet holes. Unfortunately many jerks used old cars for targets.
|
Re: What was mounted on my FIREWALL? I'm not aware of any bullets that grind the inside lip off after they make impact. I understand they are NOT original but if the accessory is cool enough I want to locate one and install. The idea of a tool box or OIL/WATER/GAS cans is intriguing enough for me to persue a plausible answer

Reminds me of that quote from 2001 space Oddysey "My God, it's full of stars" (lol) That's not a firewall, it's a sieve to kep the larger engine parts from coming into the cabin in case of catastrophic failure :) - Dave |
Re: What was mounted on my FIREWALL? Judging by the rust and the size I wonder if it was for a battery which would put it close to the starter.

Re: What was mounted on my FIREWALL? I'd guess a target.
