Measurements on Auxiliary Transmission Support U Bolts

Post by ModelTWoods » Sun Jun 07, 2020 7:57 pm

Does anyone have an auxiliary transmission support like the one pictured? It is suspended from the frame by two U bolts. I have the bar but need the dimensions to make U bolts to fit. The slotted holes in the support are big enough for 3/8 to 7/16 bolts. The measurements of the slotted holes in the support bar vary from a min

Don't have any measure, but this photo is from eBay on one listed now.

Maybe you can extrapolate the length of the U bolts from this photo.

Hey Terry I have some warford u bolts and a cross member if that would help you? Not the same cross member but if you need the whole thing I'd let it go. I also sent you a pm about a manifold setup you had mentioned a while back.

Dan, the support that you pictured is at model T haven. I have messaged mark through EBAY to get the measurements from him for the U bolt, but after two requests, he still has not responded, so I posted here.

Shane, I think I'll stick to the type of support that I have. I can make U bolts for it. I will send private message about Model A/Model B manifold setup.
