Parts that don't fit 3 Attachment(s)
Ordered upper rubber bumpers for the rumble seat, old ones fit but had been painted. Parts arrived, looked great, alto nut sure what they were made for. The upper portion measured at 0.5", and only need to be 0.25" high, sat them on the table for a time contemplating what to do. The solution was to head to the wood shop, drill a 2x4 block with a 0.875" forstner bit to hold the bumper, set the band saw to cut them to the desired height, sand them a bit to smooth the surface. The rear portion had to be cut down with a knife to fit into the bracket, but all fit well.

Re: Parts that don't fit obvious question is, why didn’t you return them?

Re: Parts that don't fit There are part assemblers then there are restorers. I'm always amazed at how creative restorers can be making repo parts work to keep projects moving forward. Great job.

Re: Parts that don't fit I found the same thing, that the ones sold by the ordinary Model A vendors were too high. Read somewhere that Bob Drakes repops were recommended. Got a pair of them, and found they were significantly lower and fit very well right out of the box.

Re: Parts that don't fit The craziest "doesn't fit" story ever:
I bought from a recognized Model A supplier, a small package of hardware used to secure the rear window frame. It consisted of a set of 21 small bolts, nuts and lock washers. Cost was only a couple bucks. Turns out that the thread pitch on the bolts didn't match the nuts in the same package! Off to Ace Hardware! |
Re: Parts that don't fit brent would you be willing to share the print file for the mold
