Running board anti squeak.
Was there an anti squeak used between the running board bracket and the running board?
If there was, what was used?

Re: Running board anti squeak.
Are you sure it’s not the fenders making the noise?

Re: Running board anti squeak.
On page 13-13 Revised 2016 RGJG, in the italicised comments at the very end of the running board section, it mentions an anti- squeak webbing used between the running board and bracket, and I quote, "on some vehicles".
Not terribly helpful. Optional? |

Re: Running board anti squeak.
The running board brackets on my unrestored Vicky have a piece of material between them and the running boards. It could be mohair seat fabric.

Re: Running board anti squeak.
Both of my 1931 A's had a black cloth anti-squeak material between the running boards and their brackets.

Re: Running board anti squeak.
Don't know if it's "original" but Brattons has what they refer to as running board anti-squeek. Chap

Re: Running board anti squeak.
Wouldn't that tend to hold moisture and encourage rust?

Re: Running board anti squeak.
Great point, all of the anti-squeak that I have encountered (frequently between metal and wood) was friction-tape consistency BUT was saturated with some tar-like substance. I may experiment with butyl caulk in some applications I need to address.
One of the more interesting places I found this anti-squeak was as a bridge, placed against the glass rear window of sedans, across the gap in the rubber gasket that surrounds the rear glass. I doubt a better seal could be devised today. |
