46 radio rear bracket help needed

[tracy46SDCNV]

Does anyone have a drawing or layout for the rear bracket for the radio on my 46 convertible? I know the 2 little j hooks arent enough to hold it. I also have no idea where that bracket bolts to under the dash. Thank you all in advance

Cant say for the 46, but the radio on my 41 SD is held in by the J hooks at the bottom and the antenna connection at the top.

Bolts to the cowl vent assembly.

Try looking up Mark's Part's, He's in New York and deals with parks for '46-'48Fords and Merc's. He owns a Beautiful Mercury Convertible. So, he'd know what's correct for your car

As promised, about 3 3/4 inches.

Just to clarify it's the bracket above the cowl vent handle with the two nuts. The one on the left is attached to the rear of the radio, the one on the right is attached to the brace coming from the upper portion of the dash attaching to the cowl vent assembly. Thanks Pete!

Pete is that bracket flat?

Tracy, it is flat. I think could be fabricated fairly easily if you can't find an original.
