    distance between radiator rod mounts

     



    Maybe you Folks can help me find the distance between the firewall radiator rod mounts. On a 34 Ford 5 window CP. The measurement down would be good to. I
    put a new firewall in and tossed my old one. So I have no referance to go from.
    Thanks

    Okay, here's what I came up with. I'm reading 19 5/8" on the nuts in front of the mounts. My firewall has a "notch" for each mount to fit into so it was a no brainer where they went. So between the nuts is 19 5/8" you'll just have to find center of the firewall and space'em out equally. Hope it helps.

    Family gave me a bunch of grief for going to the shop yesterday and I don't want to hear their whining... But, the top of the mount sits flush with the top of the cowl on mine so that would set your height I believe.

    Based on your "how far down" question makes me wonder if you're planning to use the wrong firewall brackets. The '33-4 is different than the earlier ones. Here's a pic of the '33 I had, note, the brackets bolt or rivet through the top flange.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
