Minibago Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Not being a 1924 owner I am sticking my neck out and saying you car should look like this. I have a 1917 Roadster and nothing was available so I modified an old set and had some bits cast. Not quite correct but as we drive mostly with the hood down and need access to the boot they do us and no one can tell. The castings needed to be drilled and cleaned up, the clip I made using Stainless Steel rod. I had to extend the posts fitted to the car to bring the clamps inline with the hood arms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearchoclatetown Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Mike, I THINK you heard from George that by '24 clamps were an option? Not all cars came with them. I have what is believed to be the correct number for '24 roadster but not in front of me. I will look at my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car has the place to install the rests . The reason I would like them is the window frame lays on the trunk lid and is marking the paint. Id APPRECIATE what you can find out!

You did a nice looking job! The top looks great the way you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Having owned numerous early Dodge Brothers cars, an being an admirer of same….interesting how many apparently came from factory with no top saddle. There was a plug where the top saddles would attach. Saddles had a neat tapered rod which would tighten in hole when screwed in….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
