'26-'27 body blocks

Post by Mustang1964s » Thu Sep 24, 2020 10:13 pm

I found a bunch of body block for a '26-'27 T in my father-in-law garage.
Trying to research where they belong, it seems that go on a roadster or coupe.
Does the touring car need blocks?
If so, where can I find where they go? I have been under the '26 T, and have not seen any place for blocks.
I am replacing all the interior wood and have a lot of left over pieces. It seems that the T is either a really late '26 or a '27.

Thank you,


Altair

The blocks go in between the frame at the rear engine mount so that you can tighten the rear engine mounts and not crush the frame. There will be a number stamped on the frame right under the passenger door that will tell you the year and month.
