Missing bracket?

[stickshift]

I said I would have a lot of questions, so here's another. On both sides of the car, there are sets of four holes that look like a bracket to tie together the rear of the apron to the rear fender goes there. It's not quite 90 degrees. Does anyone know the part number for Snyders or Langes? I couldn't seem to see the right one. Thanks in advance.

Is your Model T a 1915? I may be wrong, but I think that the bracket that goes along with those holes in the apron was not added by Ford until sometime after 1915. Your aprons may be reproductions that have the holes pre-drilled or originals from a post 1915 model that takes that bracket. I looked at the splash aprons Langs has, and the 14-15 does not have the holes, and the 17-25 does have those holes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if my body parts are reproduction. I can see that the running boards and aprons are primed on the underside. I already ordered the brackets, so I’ll see how well they fit. I’m not sure if they should be bolted or riveted.
