Would anyone know if this part B-14551 battery to starter cable support bracket has ever been reproduced ? I imagine hard to find in NOS or original used form. It looks fairly simple to make thanks to David Rehor dimensions in the '32 book but just wondering if Bob Drake at one time or someone else supplied it. Rubber grommet insert I think is same as one I have from a '55 T-Bird.

Used only with Model B starter-mounted starter switch. I doubt that many early-mid-year B owners realize that it is missing.

Pete,

Those are for V8s; note 18 part number prefix.

Many years ago now I made one for my 32 B and used David's excellent restoration
guide as a reference.

I was able to do the same with the B-5274 muffler rear clamp illustration on page 4-38 and figure when he shows a diagram / measurements that part is hard to find but I always try finding an original or repro first . Made B-5256 also next page but guessed at its measurements.

Anyone have a photo of it?

The print with dimensions for the support is in the 32 restoration book.

Bill,

Page 6-31. When I get the chance I can scan it for you.
