Finally putting my 47 tudor back together and can't figure out some shielding and brackets on frontend. Is there a better schematic than my green bible for breakdown or blowup of front clip? It was in boxes when I got it and most of it I figured out.
Thanks for any help:confused: Marty
 
I can provide photos of any part of my 47 if you can be more specific about what it is exactly that you're looking for. Don't know what you mean by "front clip".
 
Thanks for reply. I tried putting pic of bracks on profile, but got an error. These brackets or shields somehow attach to under fender or inside engine bay. There are 2 of them. I thought they may attach to splash guard or be guard for rear of headlight. I think I have splash guards inside frn fenders correct but all the holes aren't connected just lower fender bolt and one to frame mnt and one in inner fender.I.ll keep trying to load pics to make it clearer. Thanks Marty
 
Your few clues lead me to believe that you are talking about the bewildering fender brace (part # 16094 below). It is a universal shape that goes on both sides using just three of the six holes to attach it - two on the inside fender and one on the corner edge of the outside as shown in my pictures. (My right one is bent. I've since straightened it.)

Right (one mounting hole on the inside torn out)

I know it looks like a pretty crappy "Micky Mouse" set up but that's how Ford made the one brace to be used on both sides.
 
Thanks again I did get the pics to download on my profile finally.there are three brackets or supports or shields I can't place.I do have the guards you show in correctly. Marty
 
I'm posting your pictures here so others can see them immediately to help.

The rod in your first picture is a brace that goes in front of the radiator (Part # 16156 in this diagram)

The other two parts I don't recognize and didn't find in searching my car. Does the tape wrapped on the one say "47 f1"? If so, that's a truck and is probably unique to a truck. I doubt they go on your car. Hopefully someone else may recognize those parts and can tell you more.
