28 Model AA restoration/ cowl post bracket question

[fordaa]

Hello everyone! This has been an ongoing project over the last couple years but to date the running gear has been restored finally! Now it is time to start working on the cab. The cab was not in the best condition, looks like it has been out side with out a roof for a long time. The sub rails, cab corners, back panels and subframe extensions were all pretty gone. Lucky for me the previous owner had bought all of the sheet metal needed and was included when I bought it
The question I have is where the cowl post comes down and meets the subrail on the left side has some corrosion problems. Do they reproduce this bracket? If not does anyone they would like to part with??



Thanks,
Colin

I have been looking for sometime and would like to know where you could buy these also. The other problem is you then need to rivet them on and they seem to be in some bad locations for riveting.

For installing the rivets I was thinking of using this https://www.modeltford.com/item/RIV-J14.aspx

I'm going to take the cowl posts off of the subrails to get to the bottom rivet. Well at least that's the plan:rolleyes

Thanks for the link !! I think I could make those pretty easily with rod couplings. Hope someone comes thru with a place that manufactures these brackets. Building new ones would take a bit of time and being retired I do have that going for me !! Equipment to build these not so much.

Could I use your pics to look for these brackets ?
