Bumper Center Clamp

Posted by Joe on February 27, 1998 at 10:23:43

I am in the process of putting a front bumper on my '29 CC Pickup for the first time since I have owned it.I have purchased the appropriate reproduction clamps and backing plates for my vehicle (March '29).

The center medallion ("Ford" on a 2" round medallion) has the "wide" version backing plate which measures about 1-1/2" x 2" with a turned flange on the two long sides about 1/4" deep.It's a shallow U shape.

I am unsure which side of the backing plate to put towards the bumper bars.Should it be the flat side or the flanged side?Also, what is the appropriate orientation of the flanges: vertical or horizontal.Vertical would be stronger I suppose.

Any clues or comments?

thanks,
Joe
