Hi All, Does the 1932 have a Hand crank support bracket mounted on the front crossmember the same as the 1931 ( but a different shape), And does the bracket face the same way as the 31 does? Thanks Jack
I'm not sure what a 31 has, but my 32 does have a crank handle support. It's been a while since I had my radiator out but I saw the bracket yesterday when I removed the crank hole cover to give the engine a few turns prior to this season's first start-up. The bracket looked like it is mounted very close to the grille.

Thanks RGwiz and chipper. The 1931 is rivetted onto the front crossmember.(have one)
The 1932 has the fender support brackets the full length across the car and seems to bolt the crank support bracket on ON TOP of the centre fender support.?? Is this correct? Thanks Jack
I'm not sure Jack. Chipper or the Dog might come back here.
I can add that the bracket is right up to the inside surface of the grille. Try fitting your radiator with the grille and shroud to see how it lines up on the fender support. (?)

Thanks RGwiz, I guess you cant see because the front apron is in the way as it goes all the way back to the front cross member and cross bracket,
I am pretty sure that the bracket must go on top of the cross bracket,as the bottom radiator shell support is stepped up in the centre to create a recess,
