Assembly of Sidemount Covers for 1936 Packard 120
Posted by hollidayjd On 2016/8/29 16:18:17
I am looking for some guidance on the assembly of the sidemount covers for my 120 Touring Sedan. Here are 3 pictures of what I have.
My questions:
What "retains" the covers onto the tires? I have the chrome rod, 2 rods, and locks. I know how they attach to the tire....... the one with the lock goes thru the center hub and is locked. The shorter rod pushes against the tire (or rim) to keep the tire in place.
I have deflated one tire in an attempt to get the cover(s) on. I think they will go on with a little nudging. My concern is that the 2 covers (upper with mirror and face) will be rattling around.
The 3rd picture is of some shaped foam rubber that was with the sidemounts when I received them from the previous owner 18 years ago...... not sure what they are for. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am almost (99%) complete with my very long restoration. Thanks in advance. Daryl
