Also, where does the speedometer cable route? Seems these would follow the same path down the firewall??

It is available from many vendors as a reprint. I an not sure if there is a web copy. It has the detail you seek usually over a few pages. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 | On this '48 the wires are held to the frame by rectangular spring clips. The clip has 2 tabs that push through a hole in the frame and hold it in place. The face of the clip has u shaped clip to hold the wire.
Haven't looked for replacements but it is on the list | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 | Those wire hangers are different. Look like they attach with nut and bolt.
I'll see if I can get a picture of one alone. Can't show them on the frame, not back from powder coat. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 95 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 95 | I have the 1954 factory Assembly Manual but could not find the info I'm looking for in it.
One of the issues is I can't figure out if the wires go above the master cyl bracket or through the master cyl bracket. | | |
