Help with 24 hood shelf

Post by Emeraude » Wed Sep 21, 2022 8:29 am

I am making a pie wagon using A rolling chassis that the title said was a1924. There were no hood shelves with it and I ordered 24 hood shelves. When I went to put them on the rear hole does not line up. As the photo shows the 2 front holes line up but not the back. Do I have the wrong hood shelf or is my frame not a 24 ? Can I save this by drilling a hole in the frame for the rear bolt? Another question is the front large hole for the headlight wires? Appreciate any help.

I would not drill a hole in the frame.

It looks more like the rear hole is correct & the fronts are off. Fit the radiator & shell on. The front of the shelf looks too close to the radiator mounting studs.
Those shelf's are for a high radiator, wide fire wall. (late 23-25).
Safer to assume the frame is correct & the repop parts are off.
Yes on the headlight wiring holes.
