Howdy. New to me ‘25 touring (motor 12,3xx,xxx) from Texas.
Crawlin around underneath trying to knock 100 years of grease and grime I came across the attached bracket riveted to the drivers side frame underneath the gas tank, pretty sturdy, with a C cup hook on the end of about an inch in diameter. Too small for drivetrain or exhaust, too big for e-brake or lines.
Anyone know what it’s for? Hang groceries under the car? Carrier for javelins? It’s got a lot of accessories such as hassler shocks, electric windshield wiper, oil pan wings and a fan belt tensioner, so someone was really into modifications some time in its history.
Just curious.
Uplifting support but for what?

Battery cable guide/support from the battery to the starter switch.

This is the grommet you need to surround the battery cable inside that bracket: https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/prod ... &cat=41825
The cable should be #00 gauge, NOT a skinny 12 volt cable from your local auto parts store. Buy the correct thickness and length cable from a Model T parts supplier or else your starter's operation will be affected.
