Jespertichelaar 10 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 We also need the plexiglass cover for the glove box clock. I will include a picture. It's the plexiglass plate with the numbers carved into it and coloured white. Link to post Share on other sites
Jespertichelaar 10 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 And how do you attach these blowers? Do they fit on to the car or the dashboard? And how is it attached? Link to post Share on other sites

Jespertichelaar 10 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Can someone help me with this question.On some part websites I see an Oil Filter Element for sale and it's for 1937 - 1946.I can't find an Oil Filter on our engine? Can someone explain this? Link to post Share on other sites
D Yaros 203 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 While I know not for certain, I suspect that if an oil filter was available, it was either an option or a dealer installed option. Link to post Share on other sites
Jespertichelaar 10 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Ah okay. Thanks man! And I have another question maybe does someone know what I mean:On the inner fender sides (where it seals with the Fender itself) there are little staples.I think there has been a rubber strip attached to this so it would seal with the fender and also prevent vibration.Can anyone verify this?And can someone tell me which rubber to use again? It was also on the top of the grille but without staples. I will make a picture so I can show what I mean.The staples are also on the heater (there was rubber on there to, to seal of with the upper cowling.) Link to post Share on other sites

Julian 4 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 On the inner fender sides (where it seals with the Fender itself) there are little staples.I think there has been a rubber strip attached to this so it would seal with the fender and also prevent vibrationThose staples held a rubber dust shield type thing in place over the control arm/knee action shock. My 42s had the same staples and I pulled the staples out before painting the inner liner. Link to post Share on other sites
Julian 4 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 a possible fix or help for this is to buy the rubber replacement pieces and drill SMALL holes in the liner and use the aftermarket push in type plastic fastners. They make some small ones that would not be noticed. In lieu of that unless you have access to a staple gun that will penetrate that metal, that is the only fix I know of. Is this a high class rebuild you are doing?? Link to post Share on other sites

Jespertichelaar 10 Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 No thanks I don't think we will need the Oil Filter.But can you make a picture of the dust shield for the shock absorbers?And where can I get this rubber? Link to post Share on other sites
Jespertichelaar 10 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Does somebody know where I can buy the following sticker or what it was saying originally. I can reproduce them if necessary but I have to know what the text was.It says something about refilling the Hydra-Matic transmission.... But what. Link to post Share on other sites
Jespertichelaar 10 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Can someone with a '41 Olds or a '40 Olds make a picture of the lock of the rear bootlid?I had mine galvanized but a part has dissapeared in the acid so I don't know how it properly works. To be clear: The lock from the inside of the bootlid. It has somekind of sliding mechanism to close the boot. Link to post Share on other sites
