Re: Assembly of Sidemount Covers for 1936 Packard 120

I have both new rubber pieces (2 for each sidemount) and they are installed. I am still wondering what holds the sheet metal covers in place on the tire(s). It just doesn't make sense to me that "friction" is the only thing that holds them solidly in position...... especially with mirror(s) on the top of each side. Those mirrors must vibrate considerably. We all know that a vibrating mirror is almost impossible to see out of. If Packard engineers designed these so that works good..... my hat is off to them!
