I have a 22 model t and it seems the running board braces are bent . End to end they measure 59 1/2 inches
These closest I can find are 26 27 measurments are 62 inches . What is the best way to bend them ? Cold or heat them up ? Would 62 inches be the correct measurment ??
Thanks joe mac

Easy way is cold bend, just bend a bit more in the direction, as the steel will want to rebound to the prior shape.

What really matters is the height of the brackets from level surface or frame top, and the Center Line (CL) of the bracket ends, so that the running boards fit flush to these brackets at each hole.

Of course, a frame out of whack and twisted will affect the running board brackets and the running boards fit.
Earlier frame, but spacing of the brackets is the same.


Approx '22 fender and bracket positions.

This sketch, out of focus some, but shows distance from CL of fender brackets too to the CL of each end of the running board brackets.

Joe, I do not know about a '22 Canadian, but my '24 USA made measures in at about 59" end to end.

59 seems tight for me ,and seems to be pulling on the fenders ,toward the body and cant mount the rear fenders . Thanks for the replies .
