I have a question about the body mounting brackets on a 1914 and later roadster body. Do the rear brackets have round or square holes to mount them to the main sills? If square holes them the carriage bolts go from the underside of the body out through the brackets and the rear fender irons with the nuts on the outside. Is this correct? If the holes are round then what direction do the hex head bolts go?
Thank you
Craig

Re: Body mounting brakets
The body brackets with the square carriage bolt head are rear runabout only that I'm aware of - I've done 2 runabout bodies & that's what I used on the rear with the nuts outside of the fender iron & they not easy to find !

Craig, these are the 3 different mounts on a 25 roadster I've been helping on. As mentioned the square holed ones go to the rear.
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
