Does any body know where I can get the specs to manufacture the v radiator rod on a 1940 SD? this will complete the engine compartment on my car. Since there wasn't one on the car when I got it. I have not been able to find a support rod in a long while that's available.
If no specs are available, what is the diameter of the rod and thread used to attached to fire wall and I'll try to fashion one.

Thanks in advanced,

I saw one on ebay just last week. I don't know if the auction has ended or not. I remember the listing said it's off of a '40. The reason it came up in my search results was because he also had it listed as fitting a '38 but I doubt that it would actually fit. He was likely just trying to get a larger audience.

I seen it, but I need the one that has the offset for the air cleaner. That's why I need the specs or measurments for the offset. I guess I can wing it if no one has the specs.

Thanks,
