Hello All,
1. Battery tray: I saw a nice post of a battery cover with decals. The description though mentions a hole/slot for a flat cable. The YT parts guy
did not know the answer to this. I have round cables, each is 16 inches long. I liked the look of this cover, but is that how the originals were
made? And do you know if my round cables would fit? Or if I like the cover, I need to get replacement flat cables?
2. Fan shroud: I've read posts of needing one or not and concluded I would get one as my '49 that I bought did not have it. Do I have to dismount the
radiator to install the shroud?
3. Radiator neck pad: I did not have one of these. The FO4 book sort of shows that this is like a solid rubber pad, but replacements looks like a
loose fiber pad. I guess it is what it is.
4. Air cleaner behind-the-door screen. Should I buy the one YT sells, or could I use my gutter screen which is a very fine mesh? I do not at this
time have that outside glass container.
5. I have brush painted my fenders and wheels. I have the hood, doglegs, grill to go. I was thinking of buying the spray cans from YT to paint the
grill, doglegs and light fixtures. How many cans would you estimate I would need for that? (I was mostly thinking of the spray because I thought it
would be easier, but mostly since I thought I might not have enough of my gallon left. Maybe I should paint the hood and see how much I have left first
and then decide.
thank you everyone. carl
