Had these for quite some time, one is original and the other is a fresh casting.
Thanks for your help, Don

**back to the top**..Not flagpole brackets
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people.

Re: What are these brackets for ????
W.A.G.
there was a u-bolt on it at one time. Was mounted as a pair either on the radius rod or like mine, more likely on the spindle steering arms, and was part of a center-returning stabilizer system. I had a '15 with a complete system on it and one of the parts looked similar.
It kept the car straight, was nice on the highway, but made it tough to steer in town, and would "boing" you back straight if you were not careful. Mine was a cool accessory best kept on display and not the car.

Re: What are these brackets for ????
Somebody went to all the trouble to cast a duplicate one, and then didn't finish it for whatever reason.

Re: What are these brackets for ????
Could they be to hold the front top bow to the windshield post? My Maxwell has this type.
When did I do that?
