Just go nd this photo on one looks like the brackets are maybe used to secure wire harness. So the other bracket with the hole goes nearby this I guess it is not for the brake release?

Yeah Scott, the twin pedestals are your fuse block mounts. You could Install them to your fuse block to get your spacing then just make sure its centered over that wire loom sheath/shroud. The ringlet is for your fuel cock handle. I can get measurements and detailed pics from my A car if you still need as these positions would not be different.

Thanks Justin, if you have a moment that would be very helpful to post a pic and measurements. In the meantime I will dig out the fuse box. . Thanks

[JTR70]

Here they are Scott. Hope their detailed enough to help.


This is a Late production 1959 coupe.

Got the gas tank shelf all burned in and dressed up.

Now Working on fitting the battery box and the metal sheet that covers the back of torrsion bar tower. Have no idea what you call this. It is tough lining up the battery box to the tower and wedging the cover sheet metal between. Very tricky transferring measurements of were weld plugs will go through battery box and the cover metal and the slime amount of material on the tower to weld through. I had to figure holes for battery box and drill hen Then transfer the hole marks to the cover sheet and drill them then go back to battery box and enlarge the holes because when I weld I need to weld through battery box and the sheet metal cover ta the same time when welding to the torrsion bar tower.

Open back of torrsion bar tower that needs the be covered



Metal cover sheet that needs to be welded in to cover the torrsion bar tower but such a tight fit wedged between the battery box it needs to be welded at the same time I weld in the battery box.

I remember this area being tough to do as there isn't much space to work in. Things look good.

Thanks Jay -question is "when". Hope I do not have to add mobility controls on the steering column and room for a walker in the back. Try to move it along each week to make progress. Even little steps help. Still having a ball and love working on it which is key.

of the battery box back so the metal flap I am adding be laid flat against the wall of the battery box?

Does anyone have any pictures of the same area I am shown it in this picture to compare?
