Re: Assembly of Sidemount Covers for 1936 Packard 120

I am a little surprised that no one has responded to this. I have seen a lot of pictures on the web of 36 120's with sidemounts identical to mine. They must have mounted them somehow. (I am not complaining, just a little surprised)

At this point, I will deflate the tires and see if the 2 "tread or top" covers will "slip" on. After that, inflate the tires and see what happens. Maybe it is as simple as that. Could be that the foam pieces fit between the top of the tire and the bolt/nut assembly for the mirror. This would provide a cushion between the mirror post/bolt and the tread; and also help retain the tread cover in place.
