    Your second picture down is what the fastener should look like and I am going to make some out of belt leather.  For all my leather needs I get used belts from a goodwill store for a dollar.  That is a great picture.  Thanks Jan

    Well I made up a paper template and layed it on some old belt to make up a test sample.  I plan on gluing it on the side curtain.  I am happy with the results.

     

    Thanks for your help.

  2. Getting to the end of a 25 year project and I have an interesting challenge for my 1923 Dodge screen side. There were no side curtains with it when I pulled it from the barn. It has various snaps and fastners which I have but there is one I can not identify. On the bottem of the side curtain and in various other locations it has the following fastiner which I am unfamilar with. It is neither lift a dot or murphy, what is it and where would I get the female part.

  3. Mark great job and great pictures.  Now that it is warm I am going to start o mt 1923 Moon touring g and your photo's will be invaluable.  How much material did it take.  I have made up my patters and I used Ram Board for patterns.

     

    Have a great touring season.  Jan

    I have seen the results of soaking rusty steel in a 1;4 solution of molasses and water. Comes up like new steel.   Probably better than an acid bath but I suspect it may be a mild acidic solution.

    Try electrolysis and use a baby swimming pool

    Hi dodge28, thank you for your post.  However, not being well versed in electrical terminology how does this translate to my need of an ignition switch for my 1928 Chrysler with a stock wiring setup?  None of the old stock switches on ebay have voltage or amperage ratings but anything prior to the 1950's was probably made for a 6 volt system.  The new switches posting an amperage rating for a 12 volt system are usually 10 - 12 amps.  According to PFitz I should be good with any of them.

    There were 12 volt systems prior to 1950.  My 23 Dodge is 12 volt.
