Are These Model A Parts?
Been sorting through some boxes that were collected decades ago by my dad for my 29 RPU. Most I have figured out but there a couple that I'm not sure about. There have been a few 56 F100 parts mixed in. #1 and #2 look similar but they are not. #3 was sealed in bag and appeared a new part.

#1 and #2 are hood rod brackets
#3 A3519 is a steering column support bracket |

Re: Are These Model A Parts?
Thanks Bob. That's what first came to mind with #1 and #2 but wasn't sure. I'm assuming they mount flat side up under the cowl lip. Do they not match side to side? Are these the correct ones for '29?

They mount flat side down onto the cowl area just behind where the cowl lacing is installed. |

Re: Are These Model A Parts?
The hood latch brackets use flat or oval head screws into captive 12-24 nuts in the cowl. I've seen all manner of workarounds since the 12-24 isn't a commonly available size in your average hardware store or big box DIY. Hint - it is NOT a 10-24!

You can also get them from the usual Model A vendors.

Re: Are These Model A Parts?
Not sure about the Hood Retainer Cage construction of McMaster's Cage Nuts, but speaking from experience on restoring Windshield Filler Trim, do NOT use the 5/16-24 Cage Nuts that McMaster Carr carries. There is a punched flange on the bottom that must be removed for the cage to sit flat. Also, the cage is not accurately bent requiring some time to make those correct.
I think the next time I will make the cage frame using a CNC plasma and make a set of dies to bend the cage. |
