Re: 39 rear shock problem
Marko, I managed to find another photo of a '40 I had restored. I think this one offers a fairly clear depiction of the area you are attempting to see. Yes?

Re: source for mohair upholstery fabric
In my opinion... leave it as it is OR replace the entire seat upholstery. An attempt to match the this will not work out well.

Re: '39 wire control dash knobs ??
Newc, what you have is the early style. No doubt, you knew that.
