MikeC5 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I would imagine that Myers Early Dodge may be able to help you out. I was able to buy good used lug nuts from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bolts on my '33 Plymouth have "DB" in a circle on them too. But on mine the logo is centered on the bolt. I'd have to go out a paw through my stash, but I think the logo size varies depending on the size of the bolts. So did the DB logo'd bolts change their design over the years? If so, does anyone know what the history is? A while back I did a web search and found a bolt manufacturer, I think in the Pacific Northwest, who could make bolts with custom markings on the heads. Too big a minimum order for me, but I wonder if the Dodge Brother's Club or a vendor for early Dodge parts might be able to swing the minimum order for a number of common bolt sizes.

27dodger0 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 On my 27, I have DB bolts, regular type bolts, and bolts with square nuts!! Being the end of Dodge Brothers, and going to Chrysler, maybe they installed what they had, and out sourced the regulars??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the end of Dodge Brothers, and going to Chrysler, maybe they installed what they had, and out sourced the regulars??? My car was built 5 years after Chrysler took over Dodge and yet still had DB logos on the hex headed bolts. Pretty sure that every bolt that looked original on my car had a DB logo on it. But now that I think about it, I recall some square headed bolts on the car without any markings. Maybe the hex head hardware was manufactured at the Dodge Brothers foundry while the square headed bolts were purchased from an outside supplier. Since all, or almost all, of the bolts on a Plymouth in 1933 had DB logos, I am a bit surprised that any bolts on a '27 Dodge, built prior to Chrysler's take over, had plain bolts.

My car was completely restored in the 80s by somebody who did not know what a wrench is. They replaced everything and I am trying to get it back to factory Original. By replacing the wires with the proper cloth ones and a cloth wiring harness. And anything else that is not factory original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichBad Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 My late 1927 also had a mix. It looks like all the Engine, chassis and drive train ones had the DB logo. The body ones seemed to be different (and had more square nuts too) but probably because my body was made/fitted in Australia. Some of the body ones had other logos but not sure if these were original or not (I think the B&S ones may have been robbed from a lawnmower).

MikeC5 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I was just kidding. But it does remind me of the B&S logo... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
