1932 ford hood latch bracket

Anyone know if they repop the rear hood latch bracket for the 1932. The bracket goes under the front fender and attaches to the frame.

 

are you running fenders

 

I'm ***uming you have a hiboy. If that's the case, NO...there aren't any rear hood hold down brackets repopped. You have to make one from scratch...and they're really easy. It's basically an angle iron type bracket.

 

like this

 

On a stock fender they are part of the fender and are rivited or spot welded onto the fender. If you have a pattern or one to copy they would be easily fabricated. And if a hiboy, like 3wLarry says make your own out of angle or flat, depending on how you want to mount them.

 

It don't have no fenders. Just wanted a factory looking bracket. Just being picky I guess.

 

those look like **** in every way I can think of.
you should not work on 32`s

 

I used a model A bracket trimmed down and re-drilled. looks factory (sort of)

 

och you say the kindest things. I wish I was 1/2 as good as you

 

Not the best picture
I lengthened the rod on the latch by welding two rods together and mounted it the same as a stock front hood latch.

You know hot how it is ask 10 guys how to do something and you get 11 different answers

 

nice job any more pics of the car, head light mount EX..EX..

 

C***ey is a kind person. He just has an opinion. Sorta like the rest of us.

 

A simple aluminum plate that I elected not to paint.

 

I'm thinkin' Casey was on his 6th or 7th beer when he posted that...

 

Are you really sure those brackets are stout enough? WOW!

 

I think mounting the latch itself directly to the rail looks a lot better than the mounting plate way.

 

Sorry don't have pixs but, we use model A,s. They have a nice old ford look and are plentiful off of old rails . I have even riveted them back on duece rails. Its a simple stamped L bracket.

 

He possted that at 10:00PM. I'm not real sure it could have been 10 are 11. It was late...Maybe he's jealous cause I have a SBC ???????????

 

Early Ford Store.
