dl456 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hello guys, Really trying to get this car assembled correctly. 1) I have decided not to add the vacuum tank under the fender. Where does the vacuum line from the engine enter into the cabin? Are there reasons I should reconsider the vacuum tank? I guess I am used to vacuum wipers slowing on low vacuum pulls. Other considerations? 2) Where does the radio foot switch mount? I have been through numerous pictures and can't see it. I am also looking for the clips that mount the rear of the fender skirts. These bolt to the rivetted bracket on the fender skirt to pull the back against the fender. I have one but need one more. I could fabricate but checking here first. Thanks, Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry butcher Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Dennis, I'll jump on here, perhaps this will help. The vacuum tank helped stop the slow operation of the wipers, also the fender radio antenna was vacuum operated. I'am going to try and send a picture from Lincoln /Mercury SERVICE NEWS/ Vol.1-#3--Jan. '47 The radio station foot switch on my "48 LC Coupe is located between the clutch and brake pedal. screwed to the floor. If you can't get the skirt locking clip from one of the vendors you can "fab" one these out of steel stock. You have one now to copy- no one will ever see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abelincoln Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Larry: Thanks for the sketch. Now I have a good idea why our previous owner put in an auxiliary vacuum pump when he left the lines to the replaced non-vacuum antenna unplugged. I'm highly suspicious of the check valve on the tank as well. Abe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
