1930 Pot Metal Parts

[bubba]

Are the pot metal parts reproduced for a 1930 model 77 ? These would be

door and window handles, later version cowl light mounts, etc...

Also rubber running board and apron side rubber?

thanks, Al

Al,

I have yet to find a good source. The stainless reproductions I acquired were very disappointing. Apparently the stainless shrinks quite a bit during the process, using an existing part to make the mold results in a part that is noticably smaller (and in the case of critically sized parts this is a serious issue).

I need cowl light brackets (the style that mount to the windshield stanchions), the control levers that go in the steering wheel, door handles, trunk handles, interior door handles, door latches... well the list goes on and you get the idea.

If I find any good reproduction sources I will let you know. I've been pondering making my own using brass, but since I have never done this before the quality will likely not be up to my own standards, let alone others.
