Mystery Plate.

[Aussi John 1]

This plate came with my 29 FH President.

 

Does anyone know what it is and where it goes.

 

I thought it fitted in behind the timing gears, but the bolt holes don't appear to  line up.

Painted parts do not go in an engine. Try near the steering column, or transmission/floor area. It sure looks like a shifter hole/ E brake hole cover.

It is too thick for those applications, about 1/8" thick.

 

It may not suppose to be painted.

It does resemble one of the plates  that goes to the block, maybe for another engine?     The engine book does show them.

Yes it is definitely an engine plate, but it's not for  FH or FE Presidents. I think it's probably off a six cylinder Studebaker from the time Studebaker painted their engines green.

Looks like the one between timing cover/ gears and block for a Champion 6.

Thanks John

 

 Yes I have come to the conclusion, that it is not part of my President.
