    Cowl light wire bracket

    Can someone post a picture of how the cowl light brackets attach on each side of the cowl on a 31? The center one in the middle at the upper corner of the terminal box is easy but I don't see how the other two attach. If they attach to the screw holding the cowl webbing that screw is into a cage nut so what holds the bracket? Thanks, Art

    There is a picture in the Snyders catalouge under cowl lights and in the JS i believe

      I have the brackets but don't see how they attach on the cowl sides. I will look in the JS again but only saw a drawing of them on the dome light diagram.

          It's been a while since I put mine in, but I believe they do use the same bolts as the cowl webbing if I'm not mistaken.

            Carl, That is correct but how? The cowl webbing screw screws into a cage nut. Does the bracket go on top of the cage nut with another nut on top of the bracket or somehow slip under the cage nut? Mitch I'll take you up on those pics. Thanks

              I think that's what I did, put a longer screw in there and an additional nut on the inside. I'll look next time I'm out there.

            So here is the deal on my car.
            The L/S bracket looks original and is riveted to the body as shown. On the R/S the original bracket is not there so i am using the aftermarket bracket. This bracket is being held on by a nut from the cowl webbing screw.

              Mitch, that sure looks nice and clean. Makes me anxious to get my car painted and upholstered.

            Mitch, Thanks for those pictures. I will use a nut on the back of the cowl webbing screw. The JS says some were welded on.
