Friartuck Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Looking for a drawing or picture on how a Landau Bar hinge joint is formed? If anyone has a Landau Bar laying around and could take a picture of both sides while open and seperated, it would be appreciated. These pictures don't provide enough information, like are the large circular caps a part of the bar or are they seperate peices and screwed together? How do the Bar's pivot points mate together?

avantey Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Having had to work on landaus for the cabriolet I have some familiarity here. The buttons are separate from the arms They are on the ends of a center shaft that is inside a bronze bushing. Originally they are a press fit that locks on the shaft I believe. When I repaired mine I used a spring pin of proper size and pressed this in instead. It has worked fairly well but occasionally I have to gently put the assembly in a vice and re-press the sandwich as vibration seems to loosen it.For a really good discussion and pics of a well done repair got to Cabriolet - Message Index and search for 'landau repair. This is a Model A Cabby forum and a guy there named Kevin did a great job on his repair. He also documented it for the rest of us with instructions and pics that are very good. There is probably a couple of threads on it in that forum. Kevin lives in NJ also so you may be able to hook up with him even.Good luck- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
