| I'm working on my 56 and had to replace the rear bumper mount sections due to an accident from what looks like a long time ago. While replacing them I found the pieces inside the engine bay that hold the engine seal (little shelf type pieces) and are welded to the wheel well/firewall sections are pretty well rotted away. I've been looking around and haven't been able to find and aftermarket or OG replacements. I tried finding some in junk yard but all the ones I found were just as bad as mine. To fix the ones I have would require fabricating about 70% of the pieces and a whole lot of time. Can anybody tell me if there is a place to get these pieces. I really need to find these and I can't believe nobody makes em. Then again, I've never had to replace em before either and I've owned about 9 over the years. Even a set of good used ones will do as long as their complete and the tabs arent cut off. Thanks for any help guys. Dan |

The correct ones, with the correct stampings aren't available as repros that I know of (but maybe Hooky's Panel shop in the UK made a few?). You will just have to find a nice dry rear clip/quarter and use those. They are out there, pop up in the classifieds every once in a while. Maybe place a wanted ad....
Good luck... |

Oh thats good news. Thanks allot for the info. I'm gonna to look em up now.
Hey I found em. Yeah not cheap but it's better than spending hours trying to make mine look like they weren't hacked up. Well worth the $130 for the pair. Thanks again guys. |
