When I set these up I will post the bolt size I used.

Seems like I have seen that iteration in the past. I stand to be corrected, but I don't believe Ford made that pair. They just appear to be a bit crude for Ford production.





Below is a forged pair, much cleaner in design and appearance than above, but I'm still not sure these are original Ford pieces, either.




This drawing BELOW is supposed to represent the original Ford pieces. DD




Now, for a RELATIVELY new bracket that is the 'nuts' is this beauty from "Mac's Speed" in New Zealand.....NOT any other Mac's! They will bolt-on to 1935 through 1948 axle bells. Contact Graeme McNeill....email: [email protected]. These are $265/pair SHIPPED! These are really good looking. LINK Below! DD
