Michael Rathberger Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Doubt original but bracket is stamped a F4 and paint matched. It was cheap enough and can always find a use. Edited September 3, 2023 by Michael Rathberger 1 Quote
Russ Huber Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 FWIW.....which ain't much of a hill of beans without facts, but that looks like the real deal. Quote
Michael Rathberger Posted September 3, 2023 Author Posted September 3, 2023 The F4 stamped on the bracket is what's intriguing Russ. Who knows. I'll take it to Indy and let the GE expert look it over. I have not seen it before that I can remember. Quote
Steve Butler Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 It seems a little odd to me that the mounting portion isn’t flush with the back of the bracket. It would limit the places it could be mounted. Plus it looks crazy thick for what it’s supporting. Now that I’ve chimed in, Russ will find something proving it’s real and confirming I’m not a detective. 😁 Quote

I sense a Royal Flush around the corner. How often does one get an F4 stamping with matching paint, Steve? Give the man a high five. Edited September 4, 2023 by Russ Huber Quote
Anthony Lindsey Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 Bracket looks very specific, not one that was designed to be generic and mount anywhere. Quote
Michael Rathberger Posted September 4, 2023 Author Posted September 4, 2023 The bracket is cast brass. The width is right for the motor mount. Like Anthony I find it specifically odd, it's mount is designed to be mounted from back of a board although I suppose it could be reversed too. It's the F4 I keep going back to. They did have an F designation. Again, not enough in it to worry about. Quote
Steve Butler Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 Michael, the fact I offered an opinion almost guarantees it’s legit! My guesses are always wrong. You can call home and ask my wife. 😉 1 1 Quote

I saw it the first time at a June show it was still there last week and cheaper. What the heck. Quote
Bobby Gaines Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 That's cool looking brass bracket, would look great all polished up! 1 Quote
