Sidemount Bracket pictures....???
I am in the process of mounting sidemount brackets on my '30 coupe as it never had them before. I would really like to see a (or some) pictures of someone else's brackets in place. I would like to see them prior to cutting the holes in the splash aprons if this is possible...
Any help on this...? |

Re: Sidemount Bracket pictures....???
I recently removed the sidemount from my 180A & took photos of the mounting position on the frame as well as made a template for the hole location in the splash apron. If this will be of any help let me know and I can forward the info to you. I haven't been on this site long enough to learn how to post photos etc. The template was basiclly a piece of paper folded to match the conture? of the splash apron with the oblong hole drawn on it (drivers side only).

Re: Sidemount Bracket pictures....???
I don't have pictures, but on the outside of your frame there should be 3 small dimples where you would drill to attach the sidemount bracket. After the brackets are attached and the hole is drilled for the arm, you should be able to mark the splash apron for drilling. The apron needs to be secured fully to get the hole positioned correctly. I have seen people take and fill the brackets with bondo and something so that the bondo releases from the hole. They then use a drill press to center a small hole in the bondo. You can then extend a small punch or sharpened drill through the frame, through the bracket and mark/dimple your splash apron from the inside. If you hit it hard enough, you should have a mark on the outside of the splash apron to drill into. Take a hole saw (1 1/2" ?) and drill.

Here are pics of mine. The car is an early 1931 coupe, with many 1930 features, so it may be similar to yours.
