Front engine mount fine point question

[CWPASADENA]

Hi Folks,

I am doing a fine Point restoration on a 1931 Roadster.

I need help identifying the correct front engine support (mount).

The Judging standards say my car should have a stamped steel front engine support.

The standards go on to say 2 different stamped steel mounts were used. The early one with a 25/32 dimension from the yoke portion of the stamping to the finished surface of the motor support stud, and the later version with a 1-1/16 dimension from the yoke to the finished surface of the support stud.

My car should have the late version with the 1-1/16 dimension.

I have several stamped steel mounts, one of which is NOS. All seem to be the early version with the 25/32 dimension. I am not 100% sure of where this dimension was actually taken on the mount. My mounts seem to be of the early design and I do not think I have ever seen a late mount.

Can someone tell me if the standards are actually correct and post a picture of the mount I need?

Thanks in advance for every ones help.

Chris W.

Fine point questions are better suited at the Vintage Ford Forum, give it a try....

Don't you love it when sizes are called out without showing where/how the measurements are made. Steering shafts, horn-rods, brake rods, just makes the answers into another question.

I am 100% with you on that one!

Fine point uses the Guidelines as a "bible". If you go against the guidelines and have no evidence as to why, then you will have points deducted.
