I’ve been trying to figure this out but my question is , h only difference between a 24 and a 25 frame is the emergency brake pawl bracket has two bolts instead of 4 , am I correct , or are there other things to look for ?

Yes, some time in 1925 model year the quadrant had only 2 holes, but the frames continued for a time with the std. 4 holes till perhaps the Improved Car frame in Aug 1925.

Note the 4 holes (one is filled with a bolt), but from the factory the quadrants were riveted in place, Ford didn't use bolts for the quadrant.

1925 frame pictured, factory rivets on the new 2-hole quadrant.

Thanks dan !! Everything else is the same ? I have a 25 frame in my parts pile , it’s not a huge deal to change it as I’m not that far with this build , but I also have a two hole quadrant that is off so all I’d have to do is robot or bolt it on .

Rivet or bolt on , sorry

Didnt Ford keep using the 4 hole frames until the frames were used up when the 2 hole frames were being introduced?
Ford usually used older design parts until they were used up. Thanks for any info about that.

Probably everything you want to know about holes in frames somewhere in this posting.
