Default Westcott Ford frame diminutions

Westcott has all the early Ford frame dimensions. I remembered somebody had them, so I just checked. They do.

Years ago when I started the chassis business I was always using old frames I had accumulated for reference.When Wescott's prints came out I had their prints blown up in size and used them until my recent retirement. While some have said they're not accurate I had no blow back from my customers using Wescott's measurements.

I used both the 32 and the 34, for setting up the ride height of the roadster, that was almost 6 years ago. ( had a few projects in between). Just recently I set the chassis down on all four wheels, and it's almost perfect. I hope i have a chance To ride in it before I go.

Ol' Ron, I have the blueprint for a Deuce frame that was sold many years ago by Dan Wood's Contemporary Carriage Works. If you can find a copy, it has many more dimensions than the Wescott's print. It even lists the diameter of every hole in the frame.

I wished he had the 1941 car frame dimensions as well as 46/48 but beggers can't be choosers. Questions always come up on the 1941 frame since it was sort of a one year only unit.
