Why the Large Difference in Price for Rumble Seat Stops?
 

Snyder's has them 28-31 at $16.95, Bratton's at $24.75. I remember that Bratton's had them at over $60 a set a couple of years ago. Is there any difference in these. What have you used and been pleased with?

Was not pleased with the repops, to thin and cheesey looking, so I used originals, more beefy and fit the area of assembly very nice.

Hey Steve, I've looked for a pair of originals since the Truman administration with no luck.

Not to hijack this thread, but does anyone know if 28/29 roadsters used the taller 30/31 rumble style stops? I am asking because due to the taller panel below the lid, like 30/31 coupe and roadsters at 9 1/2" verses 7 1/2" on 28/29 coupes, it would seam that the shorter coupe stops wouldn't work right. If anyone knows about the rumble lid stops on a 28/29 roadster, would you post it here.
Sorry about posting on this thread, but this post is related.

To answer the question. 3 different current rumble stops currently being made. Really cheap ones, pretty good ones and perfect ones.. The Snyders ones are the really cheap ones.

one of my Model A friends told me how to use an old Shoe heel for this .It works .

Thought the Automotive Hardware and Trim book would tell us but it does not.

What I did find out is that the rubber bumpers are the same all the way around (installed with tube rivets) and the brackets for the Coupes are A-52486 and that for the Roadster is A-41536 for 28-29 (28-29 Body Parts list).

In looking at the 1930 Body Parts List, it states that the Roadster, Coupe, and Sport Coupe took the A-41536 bracket and the Cabriolet took the A-52486 bracket.

I think Marco addresed this once on here.

Steve, do you carry the best ones at Bert's? Bill

Pluck,
So PN A-41536(the taller stop) IS used for 28/29 roadsters and 30/31 coupes and roadsters, right Steve? I had suspected they were the same, as the lower panels are the same height for both 28/29 roadsters and 30/31 coupes and roadsters. I would like to find an original pair for my 28 roadster.

I believe so...I know Ron Rude (Ron in Quincy) has a pair of the short brackets that I sold him when I sold him my Rumble Seat items.

Hey SteveB31, thank you for the input, but rather than knowing who sells the cheap ones I would like to know who sells the good and perfect ones.
