Radiator brace
My 1930 AA only has a radiator brace bracket on right (passenger) side. No holes or any sign that there ever was one on opposite side. The radiator has a bracket for two rods?

What about a picture? All gas tanks had two brackets.

Re: Radiator brace
My mistake. On closer inspection in better light I can see where someone has filled the bracket holes on the driver side, but why? Who knows.

Re: Radiator brace
Those brackets are frequently pulled out of the panel. This normally resulted in a cracked panel. The panel would have to welded/ground back to solid metal, new holes drilled, and a new bracket installed. Vendors have special bolts with rivet-like heads and hex nuts with integrated star washers for installing a new bracket (looks original that way). I have not checked vendors for the bracket.
