JoelsBuicks Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Item 1. I've just started the re-wooding of my '31 and along with that the replacement of rusted metal floor pans. The old floor pan immediately in front of the back seat has these little brass stubs sticking up - I have no idea what they are for. They are about 3/8" diameter and 3/8" high. Only thing I can think of is maybe part of a snap to hold carpet. The floor carpet would turn upward at this point and so I see a need to hold it down but any other evidence of this is long gone. See Pics.Item 2. The pic below shows two screws that I am certain hold a restraint for the plug wires. Does anyone have a description or pic of what this looks like? It's probably not too sophisticated and therefore something I can make myself. I just wanted to get as close to the original look as possible.Thanks again to all for your help, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 The two screws are for the "plug wire keeper". It looks like a shallow handle that holds the plug wires close to the block. I have not seen the brass stubs before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoelsBuicks Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Well look at this - a pic from Bear Creek Doc of the '31 8-66-S that he is evaluating. The plug wire retainer is right there. It has edges that are curved up to soften the contact with wires.Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
