No Model As came to Australia in 1931 so no one has seen an original 1931 steering column support bracket and they are not available in RHD. I made them for the 28/9 model and 30/31. I put a thick web at the back of the pattern so it could be drilled and tapped to hold a plate on which I mount instruments and warning lights. On the most used driver car I have, there are oil pressure (pressurised middle main bearing) and temp gauges along with lights for turn signals, charge and high beam. There is also an old watch stuck there with blue tack.
The location is perfect.
