More early AR parts
Up until today I didn't realize the E28 had a shorted choke rod and a lower location for the bracket on the gas tank. E28 on top is from my early 28 open cab pickup. Last edited by mrtexas; 07-27-2011 at 03:24 PM. |

Re: Another early AR part
My 9-27-28 also has the teardrop choke rod and the mounting bracket under the gas tank forward of later choke rods.

Re: Another early AR part
Can someone concur with another observation?
None of the instrument panels that fit my 29 roadster will fit my E28 gas tank. E28 is a special instrument panel? |

Re: More early AR parts
My AR has the same short GAV rod. Also have the bracket that is forward of the later models.

Re: More early AR parts
The early panel is different only that it does not have a clipped or flat top at the 12 o'clock position.

Re: More early AR parts
It would be nice if someone else with an E28 would measure the distance between the two bottoms screws! My 29 screws are3 1/4 inches center to center.
Here is from an earlier post that I did not get an answer from someone`! "I got my micrometer out and measured the distance between the screw holes and low and behold, on the E28 the bottom holes are about 1/8 inch farther apart, just enough difference I can't put the bottom screws in." |

Re: More early AR parts
mrtexas,
Steve & Fred are both correct. My early tank, no tank number but has the forged chock rod mount, measures very close to 3.25" using calipers. |

Re: More early AR parts
Are you working with a REPRO instrument panel? The bottom 2 screw holes on them are off by about 1/8", which is just enough so you can't install the screws.

Re: More early AR parts
Short choke rods are for the first two generations of gas tanks. The first generation is referred to as the "strap" gas tank. Its choke rod support is made of steel that is rolled flat and is approximately 1/2 way under the tank. The second generation is found in the same position but made of forged steel. The third generation is also made of forged steel and is moved closer to the passenger. Using front/back or forward/distal just don't work as well when describing the location.
