WTB - Robe Rail for my T... see attached pics.

Post by James_Lyons-WV » Sun Nov 03, 2024 6:45 pm

I'm looking for a robe rail for my model T. I don't want to drill into the front seat back. Whatever I buy must attach to the wood tack strip that the front seat upholstery attaches to. The robe rail in the pictures is perfect because it not only attaches to the wood tack strip, but the design is such that the mounting points don't engulf the entire width of the back seat, but yet the design of the rail itself allows it to hold a larger blanket. Anyway, this is what I'm looking for. Let me know what you have. Thanks!

I love the idea about how it fits, but tack strips I have seen would be a serous weak link.

Thanks for the lead, Gary.
Allan, many of the front tack strips are good since the roof was over them. The one in the pic is from a 1913 T I had years ago and the tack strip was fine. It was very rigid and held the weight of the Chase blanket just fine. :)

Thanks for the link to Antique Auto Top hardware, but they don't have the design I am looking for. I don't want to drill into the seat back. I want to attach to the tack strip like in the photo's above.
