Just wondering if when a heater was installed at the dealer a bracket was installed to hold the hoses. VCCA #45194

I found those new on ebay for around 12 dollars and there is a place in town called Restoration world that should have it and going there saturday morning. VCCA #45194

I feel like this bracket could be made quite easily. 1938 Chevy One Ton Truck 1938 Suburban Carryall 1962 Corvair Monza Wagon Member # 50,000

OP junkyardjeff ChatMaster - 1,000 Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 1,441 Dayton Ohio	I think with a 55-6 car bracket and some tinkering I could make one like in the instructions,I see its bolted to the motor and even though I do have a 216 side cover on my 235 I just cant bolt it on since most of the bolt holes in the side cover have partial screws epoxied in them. I was thinking on attaching the bracket to the inner fender but might change when I get a bracket and look over the motor. VCCA #45194
