Hi All,
Got new belt tack rails, One is 4” shorter than the other. Is there a reason for this? Where does the short one go front or back? Thanks in advance Daryl.. (Don’t fit all tat great) |

A photo would help, holding the wooden pieces up where you are considering mounting them.

Re: 29 standard phaeton belt rails
I bought a wood kit for my 29 phaeton made by Classic Wood in NC. The belt rail wood pieces were crap. They were cut with a bandsaw. Ford originally steam bent them. The curved ends broke when I tried to install them, especially the front as the wood had cross grain that easily broke. I decide to make my own by steam bending green (not kiln dried) white ash. It took a long time to accomplish but was many time better than the beltrail wood from CW. I posted some pictures of what I did.
