Default Victoria Filler piece

Hello,
Anyone have any pictures of the Victoria filler trim piece that fits over the gas tank under the windshield? I think they are only remade in fiberglass. How do they attach to the cowl?

Thanks, Jerry

Same as the slant window 160 fordors, 400A & cabriolet. Must be one of those in the museum.

I call it a cowl filler strip. There is a screw on each side.

Not just sorta, but very hard to find as they are made of real thin metal and rust out.

Ford assembled the bodies with the gas tank in them before painting, so they rust out. I do have a couple of them that are useable.

. In your original post, you asked for pictures of one. Are you looking to buy one?

My friend is putting a Vicky together. He has a rusted out steel piece and bought the fiberglass piece to replace it. I wanted the pictures to see how they attached as the fiberglass piece does not have the attachment tabs on the ends.
I think he is going to come up with tabs to put on his fiberglass one as it is already painted.
Thanks to all that replied.
