    It’s for the rear bumper, it sits between the two rear bumper halves that bolt to the frame.

    Am I sure? The one that Japper shows is actually for a January 1928 to December 1929 vehicle, even though it pictures 1930-'31 bumpers. The one that Piewagn pictures, was used from March1930 until May of 1931. Six styles were used during Model A production.

    I don’t think so, the rear spreader bar has flat mating surfaces, this bracket is “U” channel all the way around. I think this is some interior body bracing...

    Piewagn, I have a copy of the M.A.R.C. and M.A.F.C.A. Judging Standards on my desk, opened to the page with pictures of all the cross braces used during Model A production. If you would like, I can Xerox the page and send it to you! 1928 thru January 1930 they were flat. From January 1930 until the end of production they were cupped.

    You will not need that. . . Give it to a restorer
