1929 roadster sill plate install
I have new sill plates for my roadster but I need to see how the sill plate brackets attach, if anyone can post a picture or describe how the sill plate bracket goes. Thanks

Re: 1929 roadster sill plate install
If I understood your questions correctly, it is my recollection that the inside lip of the sill plate slips over the inside edge of the floor sill and then presses down over the top of the floor sill until the bottom reveal is even with the outside body reveal. If memory serves me, there are four metal screws that then hold the sill plate to the sill/ sub-rail. You may need to test fit these first, although Albrecht Towing (I believe that they at least made the first of these-or perhaps Brookville now) makes a pretty good replacement panel. Its been almost 25 years since I've worked on either our '28 roadster or '29 touring car, but if instead you are asking about the sill support underneath the sill plate, my recollection is that there is an outer support that is welded to the sub-rail that helps to support the outer edge of the sill plate . These should be intact on your car, but if not, Bratton's (and perhaps others) has these on pg. 155 of their 2014 catalog). Hope this helps.
