Mike have you found the stainless spears for the 41 fender lights.

Drag and drop the speedo pic I took the day I found my 37

When I was doing the refresh on my 37 I also found the material was flaking and a little soft so I used SPAR VARNINSH on it to help stabelize and bond it together.

This worked great
NOTE: almost any penetrating finish in your shop could be used as you want it to soak in and help bond the upper fibers.

While you have the unit out take a few and dissassemble the blower motors and oil the bearings. My 37 aftermarket unit motor was seized when I bought the car. After dissassembling and lubing, cleaning the armature and touching up the brushes it works great at slow to high speed. Oh,, its getting cold out there and I'll be using it on my drives.

Kev
Its been fun watching the progress of your project after the 3 year project on my 37.

I used a piece of flat shelving brace, rolled the end and turned up the other end.
I drilled 2 holes and added some # 6 screws and nuts to clamp them in place .
Actually used vice grip to compress the opening to insert screws so I did not depend on the screws to compress the metal.
Then added some sheet rubber for the hood to sit on.

I knocked on the door and a gentelman came and opened it. I explained what I needed,
He ran a repair shop for over 30 years and helped me.

PM me. As I can look for the part # and see about getting them to you

I ordered in mine from FASTENALL local store,
The guy there opened up his book and we were able to match head and length size really close.

Be carefull in the trim around the door windows. I ended up with one a little long and ended up with a dimple on the inside of the door frame .... :(

I purchased replacement front and rear vent windows from the GLASS MAN and he supplied the setting tape with my order.

I used this tape and it set very well in the channel and a razor blade trimmed off the excess.

The nice thing about the tape was the ability to set the window edge to the correct clearance to the frame as they close against it.
