What are these?

Post by rwephill » Fri Oct 06, 2023 10:42 am

I am gradually working my way to restoring a '25 TT C-Cab from parts. This forum and the knowledge of the members has been critical in me figuring out what things are and how they fit together. In all of my parts I found these. Can anyone tell me what they are or if they are even part of this vehicle? There is definitely one for left and one for right.

Those are part of an accessory front cross member brace. The brackets hook over the front fender irons and a rod passes through the holes in the brackets running across the width of the frame below the radiator. The idea is to keep the front cross member from spreading. It was called Henry's neck tie. I have one on my 23 runabout. If you want sell them, I would be interested. :)

Thanks Stephen. I would have never gotten that on my own. I appreciate the description and the picture.
