I’m going to try this question here as it didn’t get a response in “Paint & Body”


This question is about a 1941, but I’ll guess it could be the same for other years. If you have never had your dash off you may have never seen this. There is a structural cross member under the dash that runs between the front door posts and supports the cowl. In the center of this cross member are the mounting holes for the windshield regulator and the hole that the windshield regulator crank passes through. OK no problem with identifying these, but just to either side of these holes are a couple of tabs bent downward. They were formed by cutting a “U” shape in the steel and bending it down. Each of the two tabs has a hole about 3/16” drilled through it. What was supposed to be attached here??
