Heater hose brackets 1938 or similar

[rodneybeauchamp]

Hi all,

looking for the heater hose brackets that sit on top of the rocker cover for my 1938 Special.
 

What I gather is that they bolt to the centre rocker cover stud and support the two hoses as they go over the cover. I understand there are two pieces, top and bottom. ( after all, it is a Buick)
 

If I can’t find a set, if someone could post a picture with dimensions, I may be able to make up a set as a stop gap.

 

many thanks,

Rodney 😀😀😀😀😀

Hi Rodney,    I have a 38-46s and my hearer hoses go downward along the bottom of the block and then go up to the inlet/out fitting  of the water pump.    I've seen several directions.    One ran along the side of the block just beneath the dist.     Have fun.......

Hi Jim,

mine is factory RHD, hence heater is on LHS and inlet on RHS. I did see a bracket on one of the forum pics but can’t locate it. And this is a firewall mounted Buick heater, some had them under the seat!

tnx Rodney.

Thanks Gary, 

if I can’t find any, I’m happy to use yours 😀

 It is my belief that originally the bracket was straight and held the hoses higher instead of low near the engine. Probably easy to make but instead you might want to just get one from Bob's.
