1954 washer bottle bracket

[Guy M.]

Can anyone tell me what year the one on the right fits? 55? I believe the left is for mid 54 (maybe) Thanks again.

The 1 on the left is identical to my early 54, My v8 55 is not like either bracket, will try to post pictures.

The one on the left is for most 53s. It has a narrow smooth upper band. Late 53s and all 54s have a wider band that has a rib in the center. Photos of both are on pg.153 of the new TIMJG. No idea about the one on the right!

You can see the rib to which Gary refers (if you squint) in this picture of my unrestored '54, #3300:

Jim, I have studied your car very closely over the years and has been a tremendous help to me putting mine back together. As soon as you posted it I knew which car it was. Thanks for sharing!!

Guy, I'm glad my '54 has been helpful. If anyone working on a '54 needs detailed pictures of original parts, the car's full of'em and I'm more than happy to make and post pictures.
