Unknown parts from 1930 Cabriolet or not... 1 Attachment(s)
Found in a bucket from the people who dismantled my 1930 car who seemed to have problems sorting out what was taken off from where or even if it was from my car.
I do not even know if this is from a Model A, but it is a strong metal plate and long bolts so if anyone knows what it is let me know as it seems important for something. Thanks, Kim |
Re: Unknown parts from 1930 Cabriolet or not... That has the shape of a door hinge backing plate. I am not familiar with the cabriolet body structure, so not sure if that is correct, but it may fit behind the wood pillar to where the door hinge attaches.

Re: Unknown parts from 1930 Cabriolet or not... Not sure of your deminsions but there is a plate on top of the header that the folding irons attach to/they the wooden header
If the bolt pattern is same as front of the folding iron, could be. It is a three-bolt pattern |
Re: Unknown parts from 1930 Cabriolet or not... I believe the metal plates go on the wooden header on the opposite side of the front of the folding irons . If you have the folding irons match the metal plates and screws with the holes in the top irons . Norm

Re: Unknown parts from 1930 Cabriolet or not... Thank You all. That was a big help.

Re: Unknown parts from 1930 Cabriolet or not... Things would be WORSE, if the bucket had a BIG hole in it.

Re: Unknown parts from 1930 Cabriolet or not... So for Cabriolet owners in judging. Should I paint this plate upper body color (Seal Brown) in my case, but since it has screws through the top irons should they be nickel plated?
Thanks, Kim |
Re: Unknown parts from 1930 Cabriolet or not... just put some protection on the nut plates like a good bear metal primer. when the top material is installed you will never see them again until you remove the top material.

Re: Unknown parts from 1930 Cabriolet or not... JW,
Thanks so much. Do the bolt heads still show when mounting the brackets? I can see the other side is covered but should I nickel plate the bolt heads? Thanks again. Kim |
Re: Unknown parts from 1930 Cabriolet or not... The slotted flat head screws show when the top is down. Yes, or use stainless
|
Re: Unknown parts from 1930 Cabriolet or not... Bill is right on. I use polished stainless.
