interesting detail on 1934 dash

[Karl Wescott]

So a customer had a question on glove box hinge mounting to the dash... using the adage that a photo is worth a 1000 words I took pix of an original dash we have to show the mounting tabs for the hinge pin. Lo and behold the identical reinforcing bracket is on the left side where it will be under the gauges. Best guess is it also doubles as a reinforcing plate for the column mount and because 1933's could be ambidextrous (RH drive or LH drive) i presume they started that way and continued into 1934. Mind numbing and picking fly-**** out of pepper, but a detail.

I’m on a phone and can’t upsize the pics the same way a computer can. I appreciate Pete, and anyone else who posts their photos large.

don't take it the wrong way guys i just hate to see the bandwidth double in size. I'm sure the size of this web site is not cheap and appreciate Ryan having it for us.

While I agree with you in general, I don't think the minor increase in bandwidth between "thumbnails" and "pictures" makes a lot of difference these days.
