32buick67 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Nice ride, welcome! I recommend posting on the Buick prewar section, you will get some good feedback. Can you please post pics of your engine#, frame#, and firewall data plate? Bobs had these at one point, but now out of stock - https://bobsautomobilia.com/shop/hood-items/hood-door-louver-spear-1932-33-hp-232/ I would call them to learn more about where things are in the supply chain. These spears are very hard to find, so if you have good ones and can remove them, re-chroming might be a good option. Best, Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace 32 Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 Thanks for the info. I would like to re-chrome them. When you open the vent door it is very tight to get to the back side , where the handles are mounted. They appear to be pop-rivets. The spring loaded doors look pretty difficult to take off and harder yet to put back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMicheletti Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 They are not pop rivets but part of the pot metal rounded over to hold them on. You can grind off the riveted part, drill and tap The remaining post (carefully), have them chromed and then install them using screws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
