kevzpix Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi GentsI wonder if anyone can advise me if there is a suitable modern equivalent, to the impregnated friction tape, originally used between wooden and steel frame components , on 1934/35 cars ? I did a Google search, and it only produced electricians' old-style, cloth insulation tape, as a result. I presume it's not what was used. Looking at the tape remains, on the original frame, it looks like more of a canvas type of textile.Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Is it frame webbing you are seeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937-44 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi Kevin, I think JFranklin is probably correct that you are seeing frame webbing or something similar and not friction tape as friction tape is only about 3/4 inch wide. You can still buy friction tape at Ace Hardware if that is what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Yes, frame webbing has to be what you're looking for. I have some older samples, it's a woven fabric that's impregnated with rubber, and this separates wood body from metal frame to prevent squeaks. It's not friction tape.............

RU22 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Homeless Depot still carries cloth friction tape. Everytime we are home I a dozen rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevzpix Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi GentsThanks for the response to my query. Yep, frame webbing is exactly what I was looking for, I will order it straight away, I got a bit mixed up in my terminology, as us folk 'down-under', are wont to do. While on the insulation subject, may I ask what product do you recommend for car-body insulation ?Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
