Title: Where does this hose clamp mount on a passenger car?
Post by: 2drhrdtp57 on 2017-06-24 19:36
Anyone have a pic of this power steering hose clamp mounted on a passenger car chassis? is there a bracket that's factory required for it to mount to? I see this style of clamp mounting bracket
Is for a Later 68 Fairlane, but what did the full size 1957 car use?

The bracket mounts to the frame with two hex head sheet metal screws forward of the steering box.  The bracket mounts perpendicular to the frame and the two power steering hoses pass through the rubber insulator.  The bracket is a one year item with the insulator and the insulator clamp being used from 1953-1957.  the insulator and insulator retainer were changed in the 1958 model year.  the actual bracket that fastens to the frame is unique to the 1957 model year.  The part number for the bracket is B7AZ 6A311-A.
