Help needed for rare parts
We are in the final stages of restoring a 1930 Cabriolet. The upholstery shop pointed out that we are short the special welt or binding tips that are used at the triple hinge. The attached photo shows the right and left tips that were used for this application. I haven't been able to locate these tips in any of the parts catalogs. I have reached out to MAFCA and the Cabriolet Club. If you have any leads for me to look into, it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Help needed for rare parts
Have you called any vendors or just looked in catalogs? Have you checked with Berts in Co.

Re: Help needed for rare parts
When I restored my 68B cabriolet I took some of the pointed aftermarket type filled the back side with silver solder. I was then able to grind the tips and shape then to the style used on this unique area. I then had them plated . Lots of work but paid off in the end .

Re: Help needed for rare parts
Correct ones are rare as "hen's teeth"!
And, there are lefts and rights. Gary Johnson in Holland MI had some made a long time ago........... The spear points as pictured are not correct as noted and I am shocked that the judges did jump all over that.....but glad they didnt! |
