32 ford experts...... only- 4 Banger

the engine snubber that goes on the back of a 32 ford Model B, was this used in all 32 fords or was it used in the trucks only?

 

Only the bangers had the engine dampener on the firewall, V8's didn't have it.

 

on all of the passenger cars and light trucks that i have seen have had one,but the two bone stock BB trucks that we own,have the holes for them,but nether of them have the snubber.it seems to me that they didn't worry about the shaking in the big trucks.

One article I read said that some trucks lacked the things...not a systemeatic deal, just variations. The holes are in all the firewalls, including V8's, as far as I know. I think Renner the B guy has some minor parts available--
for those who don't have a B, these are a sort of Hartford shock absorber attached to the holes that would hold throttle on an A, dampening engine movement.

 

PS...this may be the only 1932 Ford part that always seems to be cheap at flea markets!

 

only the firewalls in 4 cyclinder cars and trucks have the holes for the dampners.we have several firewalls from v-8 cars that are missing those holes.

Everything on '32's varies...but the V8 walls I have are drilled for both throttles and the damper. Ford didn't fill the small holes with anything--insulation mat took care of it all. My Bangers too are drilled for the V8 throttle.
