Thanks for the info.  I hadn't considered 17s, but TKO has me thinking about them.  I have tried to mock up a 16 x 7 and you are right, it does appear to clear everything.  I will make a decision and order this week.  Thanks again.

I too spent Saturday at my first BASH visit.  I met some really nice folks and enjoyed the day.  It is nice to be able to put faces with the posters names now.

On my '67 the washer bag bracket is mounted 1 3/4" below the top of the apron on the front end.  It is mounted parallel to the raised part it is mounted on, making the rear end of it 1 7/8" below the top of the apron.  This is measuring straight down, not following the contour of the apron.  The front end of the bracket is 9 3/8" back from the radiator support.  The bracket is spot welded on.  This is an original apron and bracket.  Hope this helps and that my description isn't to confusing.

I also found that the first one I bought was pretty much impossible to use.  Since then I have bought a couple of the old style at yard sales.  I make sure they are clean and in good condition.
