    My '32 has the B motor snubber mounted on the firewall. I think I am able to get the rest of the parts, but was hoping someone has some decent pictures of what this should look like complete.

    I only have the firewall mount, no other parts so would love if someone had good pictures of how it would look ***embled.

    Here is my firewall... it's actually out of the car get painted right now but this is when I first purchased it.

    Thanks.

    Are you sure you need a snubber? It may have been removed after an overhaul and a balanced crank was installed.

    I don't believe the motor was ever overhauled... so I figured I'd get the pieces and install.

    I think the pieces are pretty reasonable so why not.

    I just have no idea what it looks like complete.

    I think the ***embly is called an "engine stabilizer"...it's included in an exploded view of a B motor on page 102 A, of a April 1949 Ford ch***is parts catalog I have.

    I can tell you, I took mine off. I had a rattle i couldn't find, I traced it to the snubber and removed it. Rattle went away and the car shook less. I did have a balanced ***embly though. I run mine without it, with no shake and no problems. it's a 32-5W.--TV

    I haven't really run the car much, but figured I'd put it on. We'll see what happens, if not I can always take it back off.
