The difference was with Steering Column Support--Upper brackets, A-3520-E (short) and A-3520-F (long). The use of the long bracket, A-3520-F, which formed the A-3523-G (long) assembly (Fig. 22 Right), was for use on the 180-A Deluxe Phaeton, 190-A Victoria Coupe, 295-A Town Car Delivery and 330-A School Bus Body according to the May 1931 Ford Service Bulletin. However the newly released 400-A Convertible Sedan and 330-B Passenger Bus Body also used this assembly according to the Part Releases.
The use of the short bracket, A-3520-E, which formed the A-3523-F (short) assembly (Fig. 22 Left), was for all other body styles according to the Part Releases. They were also to be "paint(ed) with (the) body after assembly (to the body)" as stated on the releases themselves. However this practice wasn’t always followed and some were installed prepainted in black enamel.


See my website about these brackets in the 30-31 Gas tank section in Additional Studies.

Thanks but the catalogs and parts houses only sell one bracket? Any idea where to get a short one?
