Can someone please measure the location of the stud shoulder bolt for a 28-29 deck lid support arm which on the left rain gutter? Thanks

I can measure where the hole is on my 28 special coupe if you don't get another response. The hole in my original rain gutter was made by Ford (no repro gutter used). Let me know if you need it?

Should be the same on all 28-29's since there is only on size trunk lid.
So I thinks yours would be great

I think all model A rain gutters are the same and the support arm holes are the same. The trunk lids are the same size and only the latch area it different between 28/29 and 30/31 lids. There is a metal reinforcing plate used on original rain gutters to make the pivot bolt anchor better, otherwise the weight of the lid might tend to bend the gutter. I can take a picture of the reinforcing plate if you want one. Tomorrow I will try to measure the distance from the upper part of the gutter to the center of the support hole. I would need your email address if you want a picture of the plate on the gutter

Rusty, thanks I have a few pics. But need the measurement. Also can you measure the length of the reinforcement plate too? Thanks Paul

I went out and measured a 28,a 30 ,and a late 31
they are all the same
just at 9 1/2 from the front and the plate is 2 3/4 long by 1/2 wide

what holds the plate in place?

The plate is spot welded to the sides of the rain gutter.
