Bob Drake Catalog 30

1939-48 Hood Support Arms Bob’s re-designed hood support arms look identical to the originals, but feature superior improvements offering easier, more stable hood function. Unlike the original Ford units, we’ve added our own specially made bronze pivot bushing which adds stability, plus acts as a super-slippery bearing that’s match-fitted to our own shouldered rivet. This means vastly improved ease and stability in hood movement, along with extra long life. Bolt on your own pair and feel the difference!
