early '31 68b firewall question

[jthomas6]

Can anyone tell me if this horizontal bracket is original to this car, and if so what is it for??

 

[Charlie Stephens]

Definitely not original. My guess is that it might have been added to hold aftermarket horns.

Hold the hood open

 

[Bob Greenhaus]

Not original.

Someone was thoughtful enough to not drill holes in that nice firewall.
Looks like you can pull it and the 2 sided foam tape off quite easily.

 

[Charlie Stephens]

Not original.

From the title I think he is asking about the piece on the firewall.

Either a hair dryer for heat or WD40 sprayed over the bar if double edged tape, should work to help remove the non-original bar.

Yes, the piece on the firewall, behind the coil bracket. Thanks for all the reply's. I didn't think it belonged there, and I can't imagine what it would hold with just double sided tape. Anywho, off it comes!
