Hello. Putting my 47 3100 back together. I took a lot of pictures and labeled some things but I have 2 supports that I don’t remember where they go. They are a little shorter than the ones that go from the firewall out to the fenders. About 26 inches long and have a hole in both ends. Can someone tell me where these go please? Thanks
IIRC, there are a couple of support rods for the lower radiator apron. I neglected to take a picture of mine when I took it apart, thinking it would be obvious. I just derusted one that's 26" long that was marked "L" and has a pretty angular bend (about 45 degrees) to the bolt hole on one end, but I don't have eyes on the other one right now. I'm sure it's in my pile of parts. Probably in the pile that needs sandblasted. Hope that helps.

So....I am having the same issue as '47...can someone please post a pic (or refer me to one) that shows exactly where this inner fender support should be attached? Thank you in advance!
Scott1951, Those bolt to the side of the radiator support after the inner fenders are attached and extend out to the edge of the fenders a bit forward of the axle centerline. If you look at your fenders, you'll see a couple of holes along the outer edge.
