Guest blgitn Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hi guys,I got these with some Model A parts. They are unmarked as far as I can tell, but after a little internet research, I think they're pre-1925 Dodge Touring. Am I right? I need 31 Ford 4-door Phaeton irons; anybody want to swap?R/ Roger.

Bob Scafani Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 they look more like 490 chevy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Can you take some measurements? I'll post a diagram when I get home from work. How wide are they at the body mount pivot? I'm looking for a set for a 25 Dodge touring car and these certainly appear close. I don't have anything to trade though (except cash of course).

MikeC5 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Also, where are you located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Would you please post the dimensions A - K (plus the width at pivot mounting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72caddy Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 The tube configuration looks correct for DB but the top latch does not as there should be a screw to lock the brace to the windshield stanchion. I post a photo when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks, I know what you mean 72caddy. If the measurements are close this would be an easy detail to change (Myers has them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blgitn Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 -and I'm in West Point VA, 23181.BTW; what's a 490 Chevy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 It's close but I'm not sure close enough. Overall it appears to be about 8 - 9 inches shorter than known 25's I've had measured. The body width is about right (I measure 56 on my car). I'm going to Hershey and will be looking closely at some 25 DB touring cars in person so I should have a better idea what can work when I get back. I am hoping to find a set of 25 top irons of course. I will keep an eye out for 31 Ford 4-door phaeton irons too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 1930 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 490 Chevrolet was manufactured from 15 to about 22 I think. Just a body designation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyAus Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 490 Chevrolet was manufactured from 15 to about 22 I think. Just a body designationNot quite. 490 was the original price in dollars. Daimler used a similar idea for their Conquest - its original price was 1066 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
