Jack,
If its the part I think you mean and it's anything like mine, it is shaped
like a miniature quonset hut, rounded over the top and flat on the bottum.
It bolts to the sheet metal behind the grille with what appears to be a
single stud in the bottum of the peice, It is about 1 and a half inches
high and 1 and a half inches deep, that is through the hole that the crank
goes through. The pan that it mounts on actuall has a depressed area that
it fits in and supports it. This area appears to be reinforced somewhat.
Hope this helps. Putting a hand crank on this car was probably one of the
most insightful things the designers did.
