I know the 28 thru 31 manuals are reproduced but was the late 31 reproduced with the side bowl? Had an opportunity to purchase a late manual but it was too perfect so I passed. Thanks

yes they are reproduced. one of the big give aways is the oval on the front is a smaller size then the one on the second page, the one on the second page is the correct size. I have some original late 31`s that are like new so they are out there.

If it is a recent reproduction, it is still worth purchasing IF it is priced in line with other reproduction publications. New $13 from Bratton's. They make good quick reference tools while working on the car, and can be torn, bent, greased, etc. without care or concern - Allowing you to keep the original clean and pristine for judging, display or in your library.
