Way back in July '14 when I was shopping for my first A, the guy I eventually bought my '30 Town Sedan from pointed out some trouble areas to inspect while shopping. This was one of them.

Altho I don't have this problem (yet) this thread has prompted me to install the dash hanger on my '30 TS as "preventative maintenance". I had my Bratton's "wish list" made out and after reading the above post I realized I didn't need to buy the lower half, saving me ~ $11. Thanks.

Yes... In my thread about the water temperature gauge I was wondering where to mount it. Another good idea. Thanks.

Partz on order...
