Wondering correct installation for h channel between top and bottom glass.
should the bottom of the “h” straddle the bottom piece of glass and the top of “h” be outside top piece of glass.

Glad I found this old post. Having issues with my 17 dodge brothers clutch and getting ready to start work.

Hi all, working on finishing 17 roadster ser# 157,775. Wondering how the original wire looming was routed on firewall and material. My firewall has been replaced and I have no holes for wire. First 2 pictures are of firewall in 23 coupe. Was 17 the same?
third picture is firewall I acquired with parts. Is this the correct location for wire loom holes?
Any pictures or information would be appreciated.

Size of all badges is 2 1/4". First picture star is all black. All others have one triangle of the star white and the other black.sounds like the opinion here is badges below with all black star would be correct for 1928. How about earlier? Not ready to sell any at this time. I still have two other cars that need badges.

Painted my radiator shell yesterday for my 17 roadster and looked at 3 different types of shell badges I have. Can anyone educate me on the correct one for this year and how to tell originals from replicas.

Ended up with 2 snaps on back. Couldn't reach the one we wanted to put in center.

There is mention of a boot on page 6 in book of information 9th edition
-
Not sure. I've seen pictures of them and found in parts manual. I've decided to go with 3.

Does anyone know how many Murphy snaps go on the back of a 1917 roadster to hold the boot on?

Yes I agree the diamond tufted would be a stretch (so to speak) for a first ever attempt. If you don't mind asking them, I would appreciate it.
They got the leather from Mel Draper PO Box 179 Jeromesville Ohio, 44840. (419) 368-3226. Mel also carries wooden bows and wooden wheels I think. The carriage shop likes using Mel because "good quality, dependable, reasonably priced". I found his phone # in this resource from Florida Carriage Club.

I had a Mennonite carriage shop do the seat locally. I had nothing to start with and this seat was a bit elaborate for a first attempt. I can ask them who their leather supplier is if you like.

I don't know where the pics went but will try again. I have finished the 17 roadster seat and moving on to door upholstery. Wondering what is correct for door panels. Pockets? No pockets? Snaps? Stitching pattern, fasteners? Any help or pictures would be appreciated. Thanks, John

Thanks for the pics bill. Hope everything is well. Hood condition looks similar to one I have so I think I will pass. My car has gone to upholstery shop for seat and top. Can't wait to get back. Still looking for those elusive doors and spare tire holder. Happy Holidays, John

Thanks for the response. I have a splash pan and I am making running boards. I would like to see the hood since mine is rough. Really looking for doors, spare tire holder, and correct windshield. Please call or email 607 329-3669. Jdlugos@icloud.com

Thanks Dave. Doors I looked at locally were not correct.
-
Thanks for the pics Dave. I can see the hinges are quite different than the 19 or 23/24? Any chance of getting a tracing or dimensions on those hinges? I going to look at some doors today but I don't think they are correct

Looks like the top
windshield on my 23 coupe only bigger. Mine 39 x 13

Looking for parts to finish this roadster serial # 157755. Specifically doors, windshield, trunk lock, dash light, spare tire holder and top bracket, rear tail light. Top on car I believe for a 15 and was going to use as a pattern for new top. Anyone willing to send pictures of these parts would be appreciated. I drove her around the farm a few weeks ago. I have duplicates
of some parts.

Thanks for the info Dave. I was trying to fit the 20 to 22 door pictured but am having a lot of trouble with hinges. My 17 came with these touring doors but not on it. would you have a picture of a roadster door and hinges? I may have to take you up on those dooors if I can't find or modify mine. I would love to chat 607 3293669. Or. email jdlugos@icloud.com
thanks, John
