39 deluxe hood arm and spring support
does the 39 deluxe hood arm and spring support have 2 bolts for bolting to the cowl. mine only has the one bolt hole and the hood arms that I've looked at have two for the deluxe. mine are getting weak and wobbly so I want to replace them. I know my standard has the one mounting hole. if some one with a deluxe has a pic they could post that would be a big help. I'll try and post a pic of what I have now. thanks a bunch.

Re: 39 deluxe hood arm and spring support
Here ya go...
Lot's of folks think nearly all parts are the same 39 - 40. This is yet another instance where they simply are NOT the same.

Re: 39 deluxe hood arm and spring support
kube was it the later 39's that had the 2 bolts that went from the arm to the cowl or was just that a 1940 addition ?

Re: 39 deluxe hood arm and spring support
Here is the mechanism that was fitted on the 1938 Ford Deluxe models. Notice that it does not have a Spring. To close, you have to lift first before lowering. This attachment was only on one side, and led to many damaged Hoods when inexperienced people tried to lower the Hood by just pulling down. Ford fixed the problem on the "look alike" 1939 Ford Standard models. |

Re: 39 deluxe hood arm and spring support
Do you know of anybody who sells that kind of hood support rod and the hardware to fasten it to the firewall

Re: 39 deluxe hood arm and spring support
Australian 1939 Ford Deluxe. Notice on this car that the Springs are mounted at the top of the Arm? On the green 39 Ford Deluxe, they are mounted at the bottom of the Arm? |

Re: 39 deluxe hood arm and spring support
These are mounted incorrectly.

That doesn't mean it didn't happen of course... The engineering drawings show the "new" style with the extra hinged piece (with two holes) being released for production at the end of May, 1939 and were to be utilized "as soon as possible". That's very ambiguous to say the least. So again, the possibility exists that some '39 deluxe models were fitted with the "new" design. How many I suppose is anyone's guess. My guess is not many. Keep in mind to utilize the "new" design, all of the tooling that produced the dash panel (firewall) as well as both the right and left cowl panels had to be modified to accept them. Plus, the logistics of getting all of those parts together as an assembly and getting the "new" supports on line at the same time as the cowl / dash assembly...

Re: 39 deluxe hood arm and spring support
1939 Fords in NZ were pretty much sourced from USA made parts except for the engines ( which were cast in Canada ) and the RHD parts.
Windsor Ontario is only across the river from Detroit. Order the hood supports from Drake 91A -16802/3. They have the brackets you need. Only a matter then of drilling 2 holes on each side or the cowl. |

Re: 39 deluxe hood arm and spring support
I managed to get a photo from a friend of the mounting bracket and spring on an Australia 1939 Ford. As you can see, it is mounted correctly on this example, with the spring at the bottom. |

Re: 39 deluxe hood arm and spring support
Australian 1939 Ford Deluxe Hood bracket and spring. The spring is in the correct position at the bottom, but the brackets should be swapped around right to left and left to right so that the spring is on the inside, not the outside like on this example. |

Re: 39 deluxe hood arm and spring support
Kube, talking only 34 Fords here, my thoughts are that almost all cars had a round cut out only. But cars ordered with a radio or retro fitted with a radio by the dealer had a regulator fitted Usually. Now these regulators gave some considerable trouble and were a bit difficult for the average dealer to get adjusted to work correctly and so were removed and replaced with a round cut out more often than not. I remember in the early 1960s visiting various wrecking yards here and seeing a few of these regulators lying around that nobody wanted. I am not convinced that all late 1934 Fords were fitted with these regs, some maybe. But this is Australia and not the USA. Regards, Kevin.
