mikzjr@aol.com Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I'm looking for a set of deck lid slats and craddles for the conv. top to rest on center to center of the mounting holes are 8-9/16. Also the side curtains and door inserts top of the insert must be at least 11/16 to cover the hole . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsmoke Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I'm looking for '31 Chrysler CD8 Roadster Slats/cleats, any condition, there are 4 of them, 2 outer ones have extra holes for soft top hold down straps. I think they are about 11" long, holes at about 8". Slight turn-up on front ends. BTW, I have this very tub, but cleats were removed by PO.

That rear section is a very familiar old friend of mine that I picked up near here. I am so glad someone is getting some use out of those pieces.

Gunsmoke Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 These 8cyl Roadster bits are so rare to find in any condition, I have both quarters and rear deck. They have helped me a great deal in cleaning up poor work previously carried out on my cars tub, and also used the 2x3 angle side rails as a pattern for new ones. Guy who passed them on to me needed the cleats (darn), also using the vertical brackets for rear of seat, perhaps some other bits. I wish I had the rear panel, have to make a new one, could use as pattern. Anyone with cleats, I'm paying big money!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Could you have new cleats cast in bronze and finish them yourselves? I had new Conv't top clamps made for my 36 Chrysler after no one had a set for sale at any price. I was fortunate enough to have someone loan me theirs from a stalled rough project and had a few extra sets cast. I had a guy up the road machine them and I did the smoothing and polishing. The cost for casting was around 200 for a few sets of six pieces each and I think I paid another 1 to 200 for machining. You could probably sell the extras and recoup your investment. It worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
