Hi
Is there any one how has bought EMS floor brace s for Ford 1952-54?
Is worth the money or is it better to built them by ny self ?

If you can weld, they're fairly easy to repair.

 

Thanks for this, it helps very much
I will test to built them by my self.
What is the height measure of the brace where the two bolt hole are placed?

Thanks
Micke

 

if yours are to far gone EMS has a stellar reputation for fit and quality.

 

Not sure. They're back on the car now. Do you have an original to take dimensions off of?

 

Ok
No my is rusted away.

 

I realized I did not mention nice work by eventho

 

This is a “Newb” question, as I‘ve never built a car before. How do these attach to the car? Are they welded to the floor pan?

 

they were factory spot welded to floor and inner rocker panel

 

So to remove them, you just drill out the old spot welds?

 

Yep, the floorpan is spot welded to the lip on top. Quite a few spot welds to drill. I hate to promote Harbor Freight but, get a couple of their $5 spot weld cutters. They actually work!
A few spot welds holding the floor brace to the inner rocker too. After 65 years, dirt and moisture tend to ac***ulate in the deep end of the brace which usually rots the inner rocker, which you'll have to repair with a patch panel.

 

Thanks! You guys rock. I just recently joined here, and everyone is so nice and helpful.

 

If they are gone, I would suggest buying them from EMS if you can afford them, they are not cheap but made correctly and fit perfect, I made mine but at the time EMS wasn't reproducing them.

I do know that left and right sides are identical and you could possibly buy one and then fabricate the other. HRP

 

I used EMS for my 56 and it fit great. Way less work.
