Default Re: 35-36 Ford coupe anomaly

While reviewing "Randy's" contribution, #26 in this tread I noted that there is a faint weld line mid-way down the mount, this would indicate that the mount was cast in two pieces, then welded together. I also noted the the weld is in the same position as the 48-1434 (3) A mount I have.
My memory kept coming up with thoughts that I had another '35-36 tire mount. I went looking in my parts stash and low and behold I found two '36 mounts. Both mounts have the 2-3/4" extension for the lock, therefore they are for the '36 August cover.
Neither of the mounts have any part numbers stamped, affixed into them, nor is there a Ford bug. The wheel mount pattern is the typical 10" 36-Ford pattern.
The one mount has a 3.5" off-set, therefore it could be assumed that the mount is a 68-1433-B for a coupe and/or conv coupe, #710,720,760 and 770.
The other mount is the mount I posted a pix of in an earlier contribution, showing the mount on the rear of a 36 Tudor Sedan #700.. This mount has an off-set of 5.5". It could be assumed that this mount is 68-1433 A for any sedan body.
The construction of the mounts is two piece stamped steel, the two parts are riveted and welded together. The quality of the welds vary considerably, many of the welds on the 1433-B mount are cracked. Amen for rivets..
The mounting bases for both mounts are relatively flat, showing no sign of being concave, as it has been mentioned in earlier contributions.
The 1433-B mount, coupe, etc., shows signs of having been in an accident, the lower portion of the wheel mounting plate is slightly bent and some of the spot welds are broken. Not a big deal to fix.
