Hello. I am in the process of trying to determine how the driver and passenger removable fore doors attach to the body and dash of my 1912 touring. The car has a smooth side body.

Can someone please post pictures of how they were mounted?

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Colin and David,

Thank you for the pictures. They are very helpful. It looks like I have the large bracket pictured in David's post, but none of the other brackets. From the pictures you posted, the remaining brackets would have been small and perhaps easier to fabricate. Again, thanks for photos.

Mike

The upholstery should cover all but the end of the bracket. Here's a nice original '12 touring for reference:

Thank you Royce and Phil. Phil, your photos helped a lot. I had the long bracket that goes on the passenger door in my spare parts box, but did not know what it was for. Based on the photos, i am missing only one bracket to mount the doors. Again, thanks!

Phils foredoor mounting hardware photos are great. Looks like I`ve got everything neccessary--just don`t want to install them.(maybe a future owner will?) I like the "open" front look and accessability. Thanks, Paul

I am missing the "nob" on the door latch, can some one tell me the size and shape? If I make one may as well make it correct as possible.

Thanks! Dave
