RG&JS page F-2 and F-3 ENGINE (RIGHT SIDE) The three-point front engine support bracket was introduced in December 1928. Early rear engine supports were riveted to the frame. A second type, which was the same as the USA rear engine support, was used until June 1928. Thereafter, through the end of production, unique Canadian malleable cast steel rear engine supports were utilized. Beginning in late 1931, a few stamped steel rear engine supports were again supplied. Maleable cast steel rear engine support used from June 1928 to the end of production (left); stamped steel rear engine support used from beginning of production to June 1928 and late 1931 (right)

Re: Now what the @?&$
Even if the firewall is an early one, the offset early starting rod has the offset in a vertical plane. This one would need the offset to the side.
In #16, what do each of those panels fit? I don't recall seeing a slotted hole for the choke rod. |

Re: Now what the @?&$
Now I'm wondering about the offset being in a vertical plane. I just came across this picture I took at the Gilmore last summer, and the offset looks like it might go up and to the side. Wish I'd have taken the picture straight on.
Here's two pictures of my 9-27-28 Phaeton. Notice the extra hole to the side of the starter rod. I always wondered if that wasn't a left over hole from the earlier bent rod. You'd think not since several months had passed since the bent rod was used. My car does have the cover plate for the left hand parking brake hole. I just noticed the Gilmore car doesn't have a battery cable to the starter. Also the dipstick isn't installed correctly. Half the handle missed the hole.

Re: Now what the @?&$
Those photos really help to Splain a lot. Do the judging standards detail all of these little idiosynchracies? Thanks for all the input, quick replies, glad there are some night owls out there, I was able to get to sleep last nite and stop stressing.

Re: Now what the @?&$
As you guy's are starting to figure out, all Canadians are a little off. With metric conversions we don't know what temperature it is or what any measurement is. Those holes are the same except one is measured in metric and the other is in imperial. hope this explains a lot! Jim

RG&JS Page 2-4 Revised 2011
STARTER SWITCH Four types of starter switches were used. All starter switches were either cadmium plated or painted black with the starter. From the beginning of production until October 1928 two nearly identical rectangular switches were used with the terminal post in the rear. The first version used through March 1928 had an offset starter rod. Beginning in April the second version with a straight rod was used. Both type rods were cadmium plated. The starter rod connected to the switch with a cotter pin through a plunger spring cover which varied in length. On the early switches with the offset rod, the sleeve had an indexing groove to prevent rotation of the rod.

PS. The RHD starter hole is a big thing in the hump in the middle. Specially designed for that extra bit of warming on a hot day. |

The below information is from the RG&JS, Canadian Model A's page F-3. The Maleable cast steel rear engine support was used from June 1928 to the end of production. The stamped steel rear engine support was used: 1. from beginning of production to June 1928 when the maleable cast steel rear engine support was introduced. 2. and then again from late 1931 to end of production. Also remember what was sent to AU could be different than what was installed in Canada for domestic use.
