Richard Dryman 5 Posted May 6 I just installed my script today. Tapped the script for 6-32 screw to secure; that based on the holes on each end that was already in my new repo script. Worked fine but do not know if this is standard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PFitz 637 Posted May 6 (edited) Rich, The script in my picture, that sunny posted above, is a repro cast from the orginal mold of the Syracuse NY foundry that made them for the Franklin factory. It's mounted exactly like the originals would be, with round head chromed plated machine screws through the script and grill shell edge to nuts and lock washers inside.

Richard Dryman 5 Posted May 7 (edited) Tks Paul. I just decided to tap the script holes rather than put lock washer and nut on inside; much easier than holding a lock washer and nut with a magnet to start. Think the screw that I originally had to install this with was a 5-40 but 6-32 would fit tapped. My car is definitely not concours, but don't think anyone would tell the difference in diameter of screw heads; almost the same. In fact, that script is probably the best thing about the whole car !!lolEDIT>> PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM SIGNING OUT AS 'RICHARD DRYMAN' AND SIGNING IN AS 'FRANKLIN31'. THAT WAS MY NAME EARLIER (AND I FORGOT THAT--HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE TOO MANY BIRTHDAYS & HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM THE FRANKLIN FOR A WHILE). SORRY !! DIFFERENT MEMBER NAME--SAME PERSON --SAME '31 VICTORIA BROUGHAM. Edited May 16 by Richard Dryman PROFILE NAME CHANGE (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
