Re: Need help identifying Victoria door post part
I’m guessing the worn part is made of lead. The springs appear to be weak as well.

Re: Need help identifying Victoria door post part
I have seen reproductions of this part and they were all of poor quality.
I believe Bratton's has the parts to rebuild yours. My opinion, Chris W. |

I looked in Brattons and Snyder’s before posting. Can’t you tell me the name of the part? I didn’t see anything in the index. And nothing looked similar in the door part pictures.

Here is a reproduction dovetail receptacle on my 190A. It fit and functions very well. My 190A has the reproductions on both doors.

Re: Need help identifying Victoria door post part
Excellent! Thanks so much everyone for your help. This is my first Model A, and I’m still learning. I had no idea of the part name.

Re: Need help identifying Victoria door post part
The part you need is called a Dove Tail Guide insert. They are used on the Victorias, Slant windshield sedans and and I would assume 400As & 68Cs. Bratton's says that they are used on Slant Windshield cars. Bratton's part number is 30970 on page 135 of their 2018 catalog. $6.75 for 2.
To remove the insert, push it toward the interior of the car and then pull up(bottom) or down (top) on the outside edge.
