back to the frame ...holes

[kevinmac/toledo]

hi again; ive found what i believe to be the mounting holes for the steering box... a match is on the right side ... did henry put these holes in both sides for export autos??? or are these for something else???im sure they are for the steering box. i even tried an old one in the holes , and it fits perfectly- on both sides ,does this date the frame in anyway?? thanks kevin

I dunno, but my frame only has holes on the right side, which is probably because we are RHD here! My frame is most likely Canadian made if that makes any difference.

I have a late 31 and it has holes on both sides.

The frames were set up for left or right hand drive, I'm sure its was easier and time saving to just stamp the holes in the frame rail rather than setting up for overseas frames,

The two 29-29 frames I have, steering mounting holes on both sides, mid 30 does not.

My 29 has holes on both sides. By the way, if anyone needs a right hand drive firewall, I have one.

I welded up the right side holes, made a template from the holes on the left side, and used spray paint to transfer to the drivers side. then used a die grinder and burr bits to open up the holes. Bob
