Does anyone know the length of the speedometer cable for a 22 sedan. I have one that’s 50 inches and suspect thats not long enough.

If he used Friends and Family, he is SOL. If he used Goods and Services, Paypal will give him his money back by sucking it out of the seller's bank account.

Take a look at the original door sill plates and compare to the reproduction ones.
The originals have a raised shoulder that the screw head sits in. The repros do not.
How would I go about forming them? Also, the new sill plates are too wide, so they will need to be trimmed

Although my touring is registered as a 25, it is actually a 24. I had the metal pillar piece to make it a 25 but I had trapezoidal door henges, so the body became a 24 which actually was much easier.

1922 Centerdoor progress.
Gents and ladies, it has been a while. Progress has slowed down. But not stopped. My biggest issue right now is the body sills. I’m attempting to reuse the ones a previous owner made. I do have wood to make new ones but that new wood is 1 and 3/8ths inches thick, which leaves me only 1/16th of an in...

Re: New Birdhaven Catalog ??
So I’ve perused the catalog and the only definitive Fun Projects part I’ve found is the polymer plastic coil box rebuild kit and possibly a voltage regulator and brass magneto post. Catalog says all are in stock. The brake light kit is not mentioned. The parts are not identified as to who originally...

Re: Question for those who do woodwork
I’ll check my hole saw stash and see if I have one that size. The floor should be painted a dull black anyway.
OR I could get a hardwood dowel the approximate diameter and do it that way.

Question for those who do woodwork
If you might recall (or maybe not, depending on if you’ve followed my build blog on wixsite), when I bolted the body sills of my sedan to the frame along with the cowl and firewall, there was a space of about 1 inch between the firewall and cowl that I couldn’t account for. The picture below shows a...

Making sure the sill edge is angled at 11 degrees. The number was taken from the remains of my originals.

They should go under the rear quarter belt rail where the window assembly goes. The original felt window channel sits in them.

Well done William. Now all you need is a castor on each corner. Allan from down under. Whether "castored" or stationary, make sure it's high enuf off the floor to get your engine crane legs underneath it.

This is what I’m looking for. The CD ones that I have are 8 inches in total length (including threaded area) The one I bought is 1/2 inch shorter. The diameter is the same on both.

It is similar to that in length only. It doesn’t have the large boss on it. The two that I have are equal length. And are longer than touring ones.

Wanted: rear fender mount
I’m looking for a rear fender mount rod that screws into the rear quarter pillar for a Centerdoor Sedan. You’d think the ones for tourings were the same, but they are not. They are 1/2 inch shorter than CD ones. I thought I had found one at Luray, but alas, it is too short. (Only paid $5 for it, so ...
