Floorboard bolts/cup washers
Can someone kindly post a close-up photo of the original floorboard bolts and ‘cup’ washer (wood to subrail). Have been told that even the best reproductions (A&L) are not correct. Seems these would be difficult for someone to see during judging but am curious as to what is ‘right’ … was there any differences during production (i.e. 28 vs. 30s, etc.)?

Re: Floorboard bolts/cup washers
I didn't have a repro part handy to compare to these original parts, but as I recall the repro washer is too small on the O.D. and too large on the I.D. I can get my caliper out to take measurements of these parts if you need me to. Of course the D nut pictured would be part of the subrail, but these parts were rusted together and stuck in an original 1928 floorboard I bought at a swap meet years ago. |

These bolts are 12-24. Very difficult to find nowadays.

Re: Floorboard bolts/cup washers
The most obvious difference is the repro washers are flat on top. The originals are clearly not flat. They are slightly cupped so the outer perimeter touches the surface of the floor board first. If Tom took a pic from an angle you would see the shape. It's important to note this is the same washer as used on the choke rod.

Re: Floorboard bolts/cup washers
Same way I did it. Put the washer over the end of a pipe, dropped a screw through the washer and hammered to shape.

Re: Floorboard bolts/cup washers
Dudley,
There are twelve #12 machine screws that are used on the front floorboards. |

Re: Floorboard bolts/cup washers
Photo Tip: A head-on camera shot will show the shape pretty well if the lighting comes from the side. Most automatic cameras use the built-in flash so that the lighting is very flat.

The Auveco company is still around but their catalog no longer lists #112, wonder why?

Re: Floorboard bolts/cup washers
These washers look a lot like the ones sold for sedan door hinge screws. Are they the same?

I kind-a-remember them on the doors hinges on my 28 roadster, when I was taking it apart. I would say...no....but I will look. Since Marco said the chock rod, I would think he would have included that info. * BTW...just looked at my Brookville body on my hi-boy, they are on the door side of the hinge,BUT...are NOT the same shape. Hope that helps. Dudley |
