After seeing this pic, I see that hinge is correct but because I don't have the stock lid "skeleton" and whatever/however that first set of rivets mounts to (the ones toward the hinge), I had only one area to put fasteners. I am going to double check but I think I'm set up right. |

Re: 1927 roadster deck lid hinge and mounting question?
Brent, its hard for me to tell. but if it seems to work, them I would leave it. My other roadster did not have a deck lid and I bought one from Howells sheet metal. Mistake? Probably. It did not fit for s--t. I had to open all the seams and reshape them and do a lot of other work on it. It over lapped the top body panel by a 1 /2" and the bottom seam looked like it was smiling. Although after it was reworked and when I installed the hinges it turned out ok. It looks like you are making yours to fit.

Re: 1927 roadster deck lid hinge and mounting question?
Zzlegand This was the exact angle I wanted to see . I got my hinges mounted right judging by the pics. How ever i do not understand what the second piece of metal that connects to the hinge and the deck lid is? It is on the side of the hinge with 4 rivets in the pic . Is it some sort of filler or retainer for a seal?. I think these pics will help out a lot .You do not see to many stock decklids in these parts or even pictures of them for reference . thanks again Kyle

Kyle, I think that's the lid skin wrapped over. The hinge looks like it's riveted to the frame and to the skin "return." |

One more point of information, if you need it. The angle iron that faces up and gets riveted to the inner skin, is app. 3/4". But the one that is riveted to the hinge side is 1". In other words 3/4" by 1" angle. And you right. You don't see many stock deck lids. I think the farmers s--t canned them to carry there firewood,,,,,,,,or sheep. Made a couple of corrections. Sorry if you read this prior to my corrections. I kept using outer skin wording when it was really the inner skin. Last edited by zzlegend; 08-12-2017 at 11:47 AM. |
