  1. And that someone is André Franklin25 who still has the original matching grey paint on top of the transmission.

    There will be an article on the mat fabrication in the next Air Cooled News

    Well if the transmission top was painted grey you have a sample below ( My original Touring). The Front Compartment Floor Mat was also suppose to be  DUCO procured from Ohio Rubber & Textile Co. Detroit Mich. The photo is from a Sedan (Annas) which appear of a similar grey. My carpet looks closer to black ( Is it age or QC  of the days). I am making black ones.

  3. Timmy, what model do you have?

    I am closer to reproducing the front rubber mat for  11A/B (most modèle) no price yet.

    Serious interest by Franklin owners would help establish a price structure. And I know how cheap we like things to be and this will not be cheap....

  4. I have an original carpet and it is of a grey colour. I have seen other original Franklin carpets which are the same colour.

    I am working on making a copy with the Franklin drawings and Devcon material which can be tinted grey...the plug/mold will probably be made with a laser scanner on 1/8 acrylic. A clay imprint photo is also attached.

  5. have sold this for early Franklin----running boards---- and was told it is very close,,,,please contact me at bobnroman@yahoo.com

    Can you give the exact distance of the flat and the ridges. are the ridges round. the focus is not on the edge of the sample.

    Thanks.

  6. Just completed one using the Franklin drawings and my original busted one... I used mandrel bend a of the right radius. The plans call for dull nickel plating ( not sure if I will do that) . I once had a cracked cylinder No 1 right behind the cross over exhaust. I remember Arnie pulling a piece or copper tube to listen to where the whistle noise was coming from. Was it just bad luck?

    Any thoughts about insulating it with muffler tape at least behind the "radiator" , or would it be exaggerated. I do drive the car as many of you know!
