Stone Guard Side Brackets - Correct Height?
I purchased a new stone guard for my 1931 and the side brackets are at least 1" higher then the headlight conduit grommets, shouldn't they be even with the grommets? Has anyone else run into this problem? Are the grommet holes in the radiator shell higher in the 1930 shells or are they the same height from where the bottom bracket hooks over the radiator shell. Photos below show what I am referring to.
Thanks Dave |

If the stone guard top opening for the Ford emblem to be seen is in alignment with the emblem, and you find the mounting brackets are too high, then yes you have a problem. You are not the first one to encounter this as a friend had this problem with a 1931 stone guard last year.

So Barnstuf, what did your friend do to resolve this issue last year? I don't want to drill new holes in my radiator shell and I'm not certain that if I buy another stone guard from a different vendor that it will be any better since they may all be made by the same company in Taiwan. Thanks Dave |

If it's a 1/4" off at the oval you may have the wrong stone guard.

If anyone has a USA 1931 original shell could you please measure from where the bottom stone guard "L" bracket hooks over on the radiator shell up to the center of the highlight conduit grommet holes and let me know what that measurement is on your car? I'm getting approximately 12 1/2". Thanks Dave |
