Tod could you please measure the thickness of the rubber stop on the door jam.
Thank you Tom
-
Not quite the same shape but had to add the extra bend to clear the sheet metal on the side of the door before entering the guide inside the door.
Thanks for your help gents.

Thank you so much Tod for all this information, I can now go forward to get this part completed. So simple when one has all the correct measurements.
Having been the caretaker of this RHD r/s Coupe for 11 years now hoping to have it drive able soon, it has not been driven since pre 1970 when a South African enthusiast noticed it almost abandoned at the roadside.

Google "vintage car door check arm".
Thank you John, so I am correct about the style but would like to get an idea of the length to determine what the open measurement of the door should be, or perhaps what the angle should be. These arms I will make myself, I'm not ever going bother to look for them, my thinking is that the angle might be about 50° of movement.
Would be good if @ply33 picks up on this thread.

Looking to find out what type of retaining stay was used to tie the door to the B pillar. Not even sure what you would call it in the States, my thoughts are that it is possibly a piece of flat steel with a cross pin on the B pillar passing through a 9/16 x 5/8" slot in the door.
A single photo would suffice, this is holding up getting the door cards fitted.
Thanks for looking

Tom. The extensions are parallel to the ground, are in two pieces and the bumper hole is 8" from the end of the frame. These are bolted on, not riveted.
I plan on cutting holes in a spare pan and welding up the spare tire holes.
Dennis I have these pics on file which I used in another thread which might help you. The Grommets are 4 1/2" x 4 3/4" high, the hole in the gas tank shield are 3"sq with 3/4" corner rads.
21" between inside edge
27" across outside edges.
All these dims. are from my 1933 PD Coupe.

I would like to help with this discussion. I bought a pair of 1934 coupe trunk rack brackets at the Adair auction in 2020 and attached them to a spare PE sedan chassis I have out back. If you compare the rear of the sedan chassis to Tom's PE coupe chassis you can see they are essentially the same except the sedan has extensions riveted on for the longer body. Extensions on each side for the bumper attachment and a triangular piece riveted to the center for the spare tire mount.
Dennis
Dennis you've got me thinking now, how long are those frame extensions and are they parallel to the ground. Think that the bed on my 34 was bodged at the rear. Thanks

Better view of the 34 PE Frame.

PF 108" W/B and IFS
PG 108" W/B with solid front axel with leaf springs.

I have both frames, 33 Coupe and 34 2dr Sedan, the 34 is a much stronger frame with lightening windows in the X members. I will see if I can get to the rear next week, it's in store waiting for me to finish the 33 restoration.

The photo posted 1st Feb is definitely a September 1933 PD Coupe, the numbers stamped into the frame are same as the build card issued by Chrysler Historical.

This is the rear cross member that the brackets bolt through on the Coupe

Dave can you confirm if 33 & 34 are the same shape castings although the part numbers may be different.
Thanks Tom

Hello Peter, yes they are available.
1. Send £175 GBP to paypal poc.uk.org@gmail.com
2. Make sure you add your full name and address details.
3. The price includes international postal charges.
4. The fitting instructions are in the video at https://ctrestorations.com/reproduction-hood-ornaments/ , it may help to pause the video on the first few plates and screen shot and print.
5. I have not tried to remove the grommets once fitted, therefore I do not recommend it.

These are the grommets part installed for use with the cast PD Coupe brackets. Just hoping that my rack has not been lost when the shot blaster went out of business.

Hi Bob, you need to contact 1933moparman, I never had one for sale. Good luck

You could try sending an email to Jim Wells at Auto color library asking if they can help.

Those all have the base colors. I've yet to find anything that shows the pinstripe colors.
Click the link above for autocolorlibrary they are listed there for 33/34.

Well people this has taken much longer than originally anticipated, almost 5 years in fact.
The bottom image is not a true representation of the item, my thinking is the lack of light is making the right hand side look distorted, take another look at image 1 which shows the contour better. There is a video that shows how to fit these to the brackets after your final painting has been completed and before they are fitted to the car frame.
Three ways to find the video :-
1 Go to You Tube and search for 1933/34 Luggage Rack Grommets for Plymouth/Dodge Coupe
2 Go to my website, click on Repro Parts, scroll down to the video. https://ctrestorations.com/
3 Members of the Plymouth Owners Club can find my advert in the Plymouth Bulletin in the Parts Reproducers and Supplies in the Marketplace section.

Message me if you want to know more. Thank you Tom

Sorry, afraid I don't, to be honest I haven't seen one come up, I only have the one for my 33 PD Coupe. The Sedan I think is based on steel brackets and bent stays which if you can come up with drawings a steel fabrication shop could make one.

Found this photo on the Bulletin forum, I didn't think it was correct but the sketch you posted would suggest it is. I will contact the owner of this photo to get an image to above the waist line.

Hi Tod, thanks for your speedy reply, don’t know how I missed the colours on your data base, I often visit there when looking for information. This PD is definitely a Detroit build, hope you can find time to locate the diagram. Was said a few days ago to me that positions are different between PD and PE, Jim B has some information on the PE that was compiled by Ed P that states 3 different layouts, I also have a PE which I am restoring but that’s a long way from paint.

Thank you Tod, there is no hurry as they don't hold any of the process up. Intact if you hadn't posted that photo I wouldn't have known they were needed.
Steele Rubber never answer my emails so can only assume they don't want to get involved with export.
