Projects Building My First Roadster in San Francisco

Next, I focused my attention to the coil bracket. Longtime readers may recall my killer, old chrome dual coil setup. Well, when I got it mounted, I realized that it would simply be too flimsy with the weight of the coils. That said, I loved the look.

With that out of the question, I went back to the drawing board. While I was considering this configuration, I splurged for a pair of El Cheapo coil mounts mainly for the chrome canister wraps. When they arrived, the wheels started to turn.

The end result is painfully simple—take a stock 1940 Ford coil bracket, elongate one of the holes, trim the trailing edge of the bracket and find some vintage hardware to tie in with the modern pieces.

 

Bolts in the stock location, and is very sturdy. With the success of that mini-project, I proceeded to install the PowerGen, belts, and fan. More details to share, but that's where we'll call it for the night. Thanks again for following along!
