1925 frame
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 ?

Re: 1925 frame
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.

Re: 1925 frame
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 .

Re: 1925 frame
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.

Re: 1925 frame
The four hole quadrant frames were used well into the new style two rivet jobs until the frames were used up. The two outer holes are the same distance apart as the old four hole jobs.

Re: 1925 frame
Pic of a 1925 two hole frame/two rivet quadrant. This is a July 1, 1925 Touring. I've owned this car since 1998, found it on a farm a little south of the town I live in.
