What parts are not reproduced ?

[C26Pinelake]

I did not want to hijack the oil pan thread so here goes. What parts besides the oil pan and gas tank are not reproduced ? It will help us rookies know what to look out for and possibly collect for future use ? I am sure as I walk Hershey I walk by treasures that I don't identify with. Thanks, Wayne

Wayne,

What year and body type are you working on? Anything special about your car, like very early or very late?

Charlie. I have 5 A's. A Cabriolet, Roadster, open cab or Roadster Pickup, Tudor and a Fordor. . Wayne

Most of the basic stuff is reproduced. We built a roadster pickup from reproduction parts a couple of years ago and Ford displayed it in their booth at the SEMA show. All the sheet metal and much of the chassis is reproduction, as well as the top and interior. Dennis Gage stopped by the booth to take a look during the show and we snapped his picture.

None of the closed car doors ,quarter panels or rear body panels are reproduced, only patch panels.

Waddingtons in Castlemaine Victoria stamps out 28 CCPU doors complete.

They supply a complete body, but do not know what brookville parts and what other parts they make.

I would guess the only brookville parts would be the tank top, cowl sides and dash .

I think they stamp the quarters and rear panels inhouse.

When I toured the factory, they only showed me the door dies .

What's not reproduced??? How long do you have?
For RHD cars, there are no steering or pitman arms, inlet manifolds, cross shafts, Starter mechanism (goes behind the block) Wiring looms (can modify a LHD one) Bell crank for the ignition timing, small hand throttle lever at the bottom of the steering column, throttle linkage - the list goes on and on.

I have to agree. Way too many parts to list and then we have the sub set of made but not correctly, fit and/or finish.

How about a 1928/29 sport/business coupe panel between the trunk/rumble lid and roof. Very hard to come by in good shape and hard to reproduce at home.

[pat in Santa Cruz]

on slants, the rear valance is not reproduced, nor are the door latch mechanisms. On the std slant fordor the interior door handles are not reproduced.

[Purdy Swoft]

I don't think that rear end housing trumpets ,Banjo housing or the torque tube is reproduced .

John. A rookie to fixing them, not to buying them. I only buy those that have been restored so I have never had to look for parts. When I go to Hershey or Carlisle I look for accessories not regular parts. Wayne

I restored a '30 open cab pickup several years ago and had an awful time finding roof parts, especially the pans that go above the doors.

[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

Approximately 50% of the chassis is not reproduced commercially however I really cannot think of anything on a Model-A chassis that cannot be restored or reproduced. The same applies with the remainder of the vehicle. Building all of the body panels is within those capabilities too. The key to the question really boils down to talents & budget.
