Where Do These Door Bumpers Go?

Post by BLB27 » Wed Nov 17, 2021 10:47 pm

Snyder's and Lang's catalogs have a ten piece set of door bumpers (A -702610 -NS). Where do these go? My 1927 coupe has one bumper on the top of each of the doors. I don't see any other.

I think that kit has parts for Coupes, Tudors and TT and you won't use all of them.
See here:
there are various sizes of the bumpers that fit at the top of the door. Pick the 2 that work.

The other type are the flexible supports behind the spring clips in the door itself, its rear face.

Sorry, this link didn't appear in my earlier post:
https://www.modeltford.com/pl.aspx?t=s& ... per&page=1
It shows various sizes of bumper.

I wasn't clear before. My car has bumpers at the top of each door, near the rear, and in the rear face of each door, near the bottom, about 12" below the latch.

The steel clips are not in the door, but in the body, about 6" below each latch. The rubber bits are hidden. A chromed striker attached to the rear face of the door slides into the spring clip.

Chris, Are talking about a coupe? A photo of the metal clip installed would be helpful if it is coupe.
