Center Clamp Mounting Hardware

[Hunter]

The first picture is the way I mounted the center clamp on my May 29 Coupe. I mounted it this way because of you look at the JS (second picture from top) it shows the hidden line closest to the bumper. Thus I mounted it this way.

However I believe the clamp should be reversed.Which way is correct?

Thanks - Hunter

I believe the way you have it mounted is correct; it keeps the bumper upper and lower bars in line with one another.

This is the way I mounted my center bumper medalion on my Dec. 27 early vehicle.

Oh My! I have a new '29 center clamp to install, which way will I face the bar??? I hope I don't lose sleep tonight! Should it's background be painted blue? (Seriously!) Bill W.

the other way i don't think you will get the nut on.... as well.

Mine is mounted the other way, but then it started life in Canada. Theory was that there should be a little tension if mounted opposite to your photo & stop centre medallion coming off? Will have to check other original cars now!

Thanks all.

Peter I think you are correct, I don't see how this would work if turned around as the stud length would be too short.

At least it would be for the original center clamp that I have.
