Re: Side Curtain part names

Bob C- That's encouraging! Hopefully, it means they're coming out of hibernation and will be open for business. I'll send my order and see what happens.

Re: Let's talk rear bumpers

As near as I know, my 31 Deluxe Roadster came with dual fender-mount spares, with full bumpers on the back. I can only assume it came that way, as I only have knowledge of it from the 70's and the...

Re: Side Curtain part names

Thank you, Brent. I'm hoping that by seeing the drawings for the assemblies, I'll be able to get the numbers (and then the drawings) for the sub-assemblies. Hopefully, I can get deep enough into the...

Re: Side Curtain part names

Old31- The Body parts List mentions a "Strip, Door Opening Header Finish" in the Door section, but doesn't call out either Roadster body that it fits. It doesn't mention a door header in the Top...

Re: Side Curtain part names

Mcgarrett- thank you. I wonder if what the parts book calls a "Valance, (top) assembly" is the thing I'm looking for.

Side Curtain part names

Can anyone tell me the official name and/or part number of the part labeled 'C' in the photo? I think I've figured out the names and numbers for 'A' and 'B', but not 'C'. I'm trying to find a pattern...

Re: 1930 Roadster Roof Resources?

David- the rivet for the top irons will be a solid iron rivet. This is not the same as a pop rivet, which is hollow. You can get iron rivets by internet searching iron rivets. I know MSC Industrial...

Re: 1930 Roadster Roof Resources?

David- I have a 31 Deluxe Roadster. My vacuum line doesn't appear to go as high as yours does. According to Bratton's website, a Standard tube is 9 1/2" long and a Deluxe is 9" long. You can see how...

Re: Dixie upholstery

Re: Pic request 30-31 Roadster windshield (Deluxe)

Zax40, I took several photos of my 31 Deluxe when I was sending it to be chromed. Mine was old and might have been missing some rubber seals on the sides of the frame. I'm sorry, I don't have any of...

Re: Model A Accessories

My accessories are a set of overriders on the bumpers. They were used to keep bumpers from overlapping when pushing another car. I hope to get them chromed and installed once the car has been painted.

Re: 30/31 Roadster tack strip

My 31 Deluxe Roadster came with a steel strip (red arrow) that sandwiched a rope-like material (yellow arrow) for a tack strip. I only add this as you mentioned wanting to use original parts, and as...
