They fasten to the bumper bolt .. but where on the luggage rack ? i “remember” the rack folding up and down when they were on .. ??? Hen I dust examines the car .. My pictures suggest they were attached to the end of the horizontal support rod .. ?? any of that make sense ??

Of course maybe I removed the bumper and hardware first??

Yep .. thru are the luggage rack supports .. I found the pic I’m my original archives

Ian .. do you recognize these .?? don’t have a clue .. could they be the luggage rack supports?

Ian .. another puzzle is that the luggage bracket arms that bolt into the frame below the rear end have 3/4 holes in them .. mid shaft .. what is the purpose? i have nothing that fits there ! Les

Ian, thx! I’ve looked at your photos many times !! They are my savior and i think the installation is correct ,.. but I’m thinking that the threaded bolts I put in may be impeding the the ability of the rack to rotate .. it’s crazy !

Wurth composition: FYI p

New thread: I’ve installed my luggage rack but it won’t fold out .. I’m thinking it must be friction at the two bolts that fasten the short straight lower arm to the rack Itself what types of bolts does one use to allow it to swing freely .. ? is the installation otherwise ok ? tx .. les 1934 dodge DR 4-door

Can’t give anything very objective or analytic.. have never seen discoloration like that .. have to question the quality - composition of the material ... and Perhaps compare to other rubber products from same manufacturer and different manufacturers to understand .. geez ..

We may have to consider that there are different qualities of repop rubber .. different compositions .. I don’t know anything specific .. but that could be a factor .. all my MC stuff came from one fabricator and he was good .

Ian .. I boil hot water in a pot . Then set the parts in to soak .. I forgot if I used a little grease For the luggage rack grommets .. tho I hope I did .. I’ve never (in my motorcycle years anyway) had grease discolor rubber .. Or anything else .. do you think the dishwasher liquid did it ?? Strange

I put the luggage rack grommets on easily with just hit water and-or hair dryer I was always so told not to use WD-40 on rubber pads .. but I used to put grease on motorcycle tank pads to slide them in . but yea .. restoring rubber with grease is probably not good ..

I always put the rubber parts in boiling for a few minutes . Add grease if need be

I’m assuming they are not stock !

I’ve never seen anything like them .. but I did a lot of old Honda motorcycle repops with “clauses studios” in Hesperia, calif .. foot pedals, gas tank pads etc .. so I’m very familiar with the process .. it’s easy to do .. your Dodge pedals are really (to me) exceptional .. I would like a pair .. that’s it .. but you might be able to “pedal” a few to your mates for $75 a pair :;))

Very classy foot pedals .. they can be remanufactured, I suppose . .. les

this represents a corrected prior listing with better evidence for the provenance if the part. Sidemount spare tire covers for a 1933 Desoto SD Custom Coupe .. please look at photo documentation .. 15 x 7 size imprinted near the latch (see pic) In decent shape without rust through altho one needs cosmetic-dent work. these are similar in size to my 1934 Dodge side covers and as such might work for other applications $150 SOLD

Rubber “DODGE” Pedals are nice ... where did you find those .. ? Very sweet les

I have a rechromed ‘34 dodge windshield ready to install .. Not sure of fitting les

Does the lip of the splash apron fit tightly up against the body .. ? Is the felt therefore contacting the body or just acting as a cushion for vibration ??

Thx so much!! Finally got the answer .. any particular size or thickness, Ian?? les

Correction: is welting or the like applied to the flange of the splash apron the slides underneath the body ... sorry!!

Correction: the flange of the drip panels

Ian .. was any insulating material attached to the lip (flange) of the running board that the strap is attached to? To prevent rusting a scratching etc? There are holes in it suggesting something was attached .. to .. les
