Didn't know I had 'em.

Post by Steve Jelf » Mon Mar 15, 2021 9:22 pm

I was in the barn this afternoon looking through stuff to take to Chickasha, and found these. I know there are sturdier ones, but these are better than nothing.

Those appear to be originals, Steve - all 4 dip pans should use/have them. I have several extra sets.

Does not hurt to put them on 3 dip pans too!
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

Don't know if just a Canadian thing but the only ones I've come across are spot welded to the pan.

Those won't fit with an early (crocodile-nose) pan. So if you want to use some, you'll need to get the repops and grind a little off the width of them.

I have some others that will fit the 1915. These will go on the 1923.

I have them on all my cars. Early and late. To fit the early pans, I just file the holes, and the edges to fit the early pans.

I’ve used originals on my ‘14. Just had to abide by my restoration motto: Grind em to shape. File em to fit. And paint em to match...

...what is the advantage of using these reinforcements?

They stiffen the engine/hogshead "joint" on the pan to resist bending it at that point. The 26-27 cars have the hogshead bolted to the block for the same reason.

Basically its to preclude a broken crankshaft. Does so by ‘resist Bending’ of the block and tranny cover as Steve stated..

I believe the original purpose for theses was when Ford came out with the 4 dip pan which decreased a considerable amount of metal & strength from the radius rod socket area.

Early pans tend to crack in that area.

Kerry, they are spot welded on all Canadian pans along with the horse shoes inside the pan.

Joe, I'd have to say I've never come across the horse shoes being spot welded.
