1941 Tudor Dash Trim
Anyone know who sells the dash trim that is all one piece? I have checked Bob Drake, Dennis Carpenter and Macs and they all sell the two piece design. Was the one piece an aftermarket part?

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
I haven't seen the single piece set up. Even the Fenton chrome plated dash parts were two piece but they are rare now days. They were made from zinc die cast then plated.

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
I thought there was a trim piece covering the two piece design so it doesn't matter 1 or 2 pieces?

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
My deluxe has a one piece, no clock and a small horizontal Ford emblem but it's Canadian if that makes a difference.

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
It might make a difference. It wouldn't be the only difference I'm sure. Canadian production sourced parts from some different suppliers than Ford USA and Ford US may have also had sources that Canadian Ford didn't use. 1941 was the first year of the three different quality and price level cars among other things like the intro of the G 6-cylinder engine.

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
Even though my 41 is a Super Deluxe, I just like the way the one piece looks. The center piece I have just covers the speaker grill and stops at the trim. That is part of the reason why I want the one piece also.
This is what I am looking for. |

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
There is a different longer trim piece for the two piece trim that covers the gap.

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
Mine is definitely different than both of those.

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
My 41 has a chrome piece in the center, above the speaker grill and has a clock cut-out above the glove box. with a wind-up clock. Still another style for the 41's. Al

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
I would think that one or the one above would be fairly eazy to make out of a nice piece of Walnut

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
I actually saw a picture of one. It would look nice, but I am not a carpenter. It would be like sticking a 2x4 on my dash. I did find a guy on the HAMB that has the piece I am looking for. I am planning on buying it after the holidays.

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
I know it's a modified car, but I put a 41 dash in my 48 and has the one piece trim. It is a factory piece that I bought at a flea market that was in very good condition. I painted it a silver/gray color. That was about 20 years ago and it still looks great today

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
Have a look where the break in the 2 piece plastic trim is on NZ assembled 46/48 ( all here carried 41 US style dash in RHD), at the glove box.

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
One piece metal dash trim where available in fleet cars. There is no cut out for the clock. I have one with a cut out for the clock. Usually guys have them chromed. There are 3 different sizes for the vertical chrome pieces. Contact me if interested in the 1 piece metal dash piece.

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
This is the Dash in our family's 1946 Ford Deluxe Sedan that my Grandfather bought brand new. Notice that it is one piece. Just for the record, as most Barners would know, Ford changed the design of the Dash in 1942, however, Ford beancounters thought that the expense of making the new dash in Right Hand Drive was not warranted, so all RHD Fords through 1948 continued using the carry-over 1941 Dash. |

Re: 1941 Tudor Dash Trim
In the past I've had two set of repop '41 plastic two piece dash trim; both sets were poor quality and worse fit. I'm thinking they were old Argentina made parts.
Does anyone have any experience with the trim currently available? Fit and quality wise? |
