Engine compartment hardware

[Conn47D24]

A little help please.

 

My " before " photos missed this piece before removal.

 

I've been working on the firewall / engine compartment area.

 

Can someone tell me  ( photo helpful) where this belongs ?

 

Appreciate and / all help.

 

Thanks !

That looks like the piece that goes dead center and supports the speedometer cable.

When all else fails I start matching bolt holes, it doesn't take long, look for the hole pattern and go for it. Also I look up like engines on google, I go to images and find a lot of answers and ideas. Good luck. Sounds like Ed is on the correct track.

If so it must be so far down I cannot get a good photo.

It might be a bracket to hold the wire that goes from the starter to the sisson electric choke. Just a thought.  ALso look for a hole on the firewall to see if there is a threaded section. This is to hold some wire or lead to another piece in the engine compartment.  How about the drain hose from the cowel vent and would be located on the firewall on the left side of the firewall in back of the manifold.

A 1948  D24 speedo cable bracket can be seen here in the upper right just below the throttle cable.

The bracket on my 1948 D-24 is much smaller and not currently in use.

Thank you all for info and photos.

 

I'll see how it lines up with the speedo cable.

Mystery Solved !

 

Speedo cable bracket is correct.

 

Located on frame, under passenger side toe kick floor pan.

 

Took a while to dig through all the photos I've taken.

 

Thanks again all.

Post the photo so we all know.

Maybe mine's been relocatedd but this is where it was when I got it.

Don,  I added it to the original post at top . 

[Conn47D24]

As I look closer at this photo, taken after the engine and trans removed. It appears that this bracket may well have been attached to the bell housing or trans.  Once all back in I'll make some sense out of it.

 

Thanks again all.

That one on top of the water pump is holding a fuel line ?

 

The one I'm chasing was attached to my Speedo cable, and a little different.

 

Just have to wait to see where it passes the bell & trans.

I think that it is for the e brake cable.
