By Doug Keppler, Fredon NJ on Saturday, September 24, 2016 - 06:20 pm:Hey guys, has any of you who have been there
seen the metal bead that runs vertically up the back of a touring car on both sides.
The pieces that join the rear center panel
to the quarter panels. I don't see them
in any parts catalogues
By Michael Saggese on Saturday, September 24, 2016 - 07:29 pm:I believe there is a reproduction made in aluminum. Not sure where to find it, though. I suppose I'm not much help.
By Dan B on Saturday, September 24, 2016 - 07:33 pm:Doug - Possibly, but the classifieds section on this site is a surer bet.
Maybe Dan Hatch will see this and be able to help.

Have a look at this, it may help. Good luck with your project. Bill

By Dan B on Saturday, September 24, 2016 - 08:36 pm:The originals ALWAYS fit.
By William L Vanderburg on Saturday, September 24, 2016 - 09:37 pm:Restoration Supply Company sells it in 8 foot lengths. It's aluminum.
But unfortunately it's not exactly the same size as the originals.
It's on Page 29 of their catalog.
By Doug Keppler, Fredon NJ on Saturday, September 24, 2016 - 10:20 pm:Thanks, Bill I think that's it and Dan, huh?
By Dan B on Sunday, September 25, 2016 - 08:15 am:Doug - The ones from langs are for a 26-27 sedan. You're going to have some work to make them fit a earlier touring if that's what you're using them on. I bet that's true even if you're using them on the 26-27 sedan.
My point was to post an ad over on the classified section of this website and try to find originals. In my experience, nearly every reproduction part I've bought has needed some work. The original parts are simply "bolt on".
By Steve Jelf, Parkerfield KS on Sunday, September 25, 2016 - 09:22 am:This may be a long shot, but call Lang's. Don is taking used stuff this time.
By Doug Keppler, Fredon NJ on Sunday, September 25, 2016 - 04:57 pm:Got it Dan, thanks and Steve I will defiantly do that, thanks
By Thomas A. Voltz on Sunday, September 25, 2016 - 05:33 pm:Doug, Had same problem about four years ago when working on my 24 touring. Contact Mark at Model T Haven in Lola, Kansas. He will probably have it. That's where I got mine and it will fit without any doctoring up or modifications.
