40 Ford inner fender bumpers
There are two holes in the lower edge of the inner apron fender panels. One on each side of the cutout for the brake line. Does a bumper go in both holes? I thought I read that one hole is for a bolt. The bumper kits have 4 rubber bumpers. What is correct? Thanks

Re: 40 Ford inner fender bumpers
Without goin out to the shop and looking at my wagon, I think one had a bolt and one had a bumper. Is there a hole in the frame that lines up with one of the holes? Keep in mind there could be early/late differences. My wagon is a very late 40. Also, are these inner fender panels from this car? 39s are different in front but will bolt to the fender.
Maybe Kube will clear this up. |

Both of my 40s have bumpers in both holes.

I don't recall at this moment if this was an early or later design feature and would have to check my notes before commenting on the timing.

Re: 40 Ford inner fender bumpers
Mine is an early. It does have a hole in the frame in front of the brake line bracket. That is what confused me.
