Mine is a 30 but are similar

Thanks John. I have a '29 Sport Coupe and originally bought what Mac's said were the right parts but the metal clip is way too long. I then purchased what they said was for a 1930 and it's what you show in the photo. You have the rubber parts upsidedown compared to some recommendations but it works well this way! Thanks.
*** I actually found a source for parts that fit much better. They are Vintique A-702610-AS which I purchased from Smith and Jones Antique Auto Parts, 60 Wisconsin St., West Columbia, SC 29170. I'll try to upload a couple photos.
