Hi everyone,
I need to make the wooden mount blocks but the ones that were in mine basically were sawdust and some were missing. Has anyone got a photo of them installed and has anyone got the dimensions of the blocks and the cutouts so I can make some? Were there any under the running boards?
I have a 1926 T Coupe.
Many thanks in advance,
Timber mounts

Re: Timber mounts
Probably sizes posted on forum if you do a google search. I know you can make them cheaper than the venders sell if you have all the info. Langs has them listed for a complete set for $51.95 . Yes there are blocks under running boards.

Re: Timber mounts
Thanks for your reply. I would by them but shipping to Australia is a killer. (cost as much as the blocks if not more)

Re: Timber mounts
Here are some drawings. I have some running board blocks - will measure and add to this response
The TT steering block is higher to fit in the frame channel

Re: Timber mounts
Thats the ones. I need the one for the rear which has an odd shape to it.

Re: Timber mounts
These pictures are perfect. So the Block "C" I have and just installed them. There is already a small block wedged in the front "cowl/foot well". I dont have the "D, B, F, E" blocks so and dimensions on those would be great and also where they go. The "T-1107" block I have but no idea where it goes. If anyone has photos that could help that would be great.

Read the copy in the lower left of the picture of the body wood blocks, gives dimensions of each block.
That T 1107 is the block under the front edge of the hood shelf, note angle on end of shelf. Left and rights to match the angle.
The smaller block goes under the cowl end of the hood shelf. Provides correct rise of the shelf to hood and angled holes for the hood clips to function.

Re: Timber mounts
I just found the covers. I'll make those timbers. So, the only ones I don't have are "D" and I don't know where they go. Do I need them on the Coupe? Has anyone got a photo of where they go?

Re: Timber mounts
Don't have a clear photo, but D and F are a sandwich that goes up into the subframe rail. Provides support for the longer bolt that goes from the turtle deck into the frame. Enlarge the link given and the captions provide more info on placing D.
Here's a runabout with original blocks, but doesn't show the rear blocks that go deep into the frame rail channel.
