WTB: Working Vacuum Wiper (External/Black)
I'm looking for a replacement Trico vacuum wiper for my '31 coupe, so it's an externally mounted, black wiper. If anyone has one in good working condition, I'd be very interested. Thanks!

Re: 1931 Battery Holder
I know this is a really old thread, but is there any chance you can point me to some examples of what you might use for the 1/4" rubber mat? I'm curious what you've found to work. Thanks!

Does this noise sound familiar to anyone?
My '31 has been making an odd noise when the engine is running, and I'm not entirely sure where it's coming from. My next step is to remove the fan belt and start turning things by hand to see what...

Re: Identify original headlight reflectors?
Tried... I can't find any gasket that looks like it's meant for this position in the headlight. The stickies in this forum don't help either, since they are just links to parts houses and plating...

Re: What age group???
I'm 31 and inherited my 1931 Coupe from my father, who purchased it as his first car when he was young. When I was born, I was driven home from the hospital in this A. :)
