    I'm looking for the vertical brace shown in these photos painted green. It mounts to the lower stone guard, supports the center grille bullet and mounts under the hood latch support panel.
    Anyone have an extra one?

    I had three extras of those braces and I know that I sold two of them. I can't find the third at the moment. I will check one more place and if it turns up I will let you know. Alan S. Freeman

    I looked everywhere that I can think of and I can't find the last hood latch brace. I must have sold it at some point. Try calling John of Tucson, AZ. (520)
    740-1234. He is parting out three '54 Fords and probably has the part. Good luck, Alan S. Freeman

    You could also try that Big M place up north of us. I think I saw a couple of those when I was up there last month. Give the guy a call - they also pull parts and ship them or bring them down to big swap meets.

    Did you get your brace? I found one that I forgot I had. Let me know if you still need it.

    I did find the upper bracket shown in the photos about. A fellow member had one. But I think there is a second smaller bracket about 5 inches long that bolts to a single hole on the front frame rail under the radiator. This goes up and mounts to the upper panel painted grey in the photos and supports that green brace. Cn someone confirm this?
