Gunsmoke Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 When I got a pair of 1931 Chrysler CD8 sidemount brackets, there was only a single leather strap with the pair. Seems about right size and vintage, but is 7/8" wide versus slots in bracket which are 1&1/4" wide. Before getting 4 new ones made, I am wondering if anyone has an original they can measure for me? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24Chry48 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Those are the ones I have on all my cars and the only size I have ever seen. Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYER15015 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Gunsmoke, I polished up my old buckles and had a set made that were 1" wide. Now I have to try 3-4 times to locate the wheel so the straps fit properly between the spokes. The slots in the bracket allow you to shift the straps a bit to accommodate the spoke positions.

Gunsmoke Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Thanks to both of you esteemed gentlemen, I'm going to trial fit it on a wheel and confirm length is good and then get some made. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
