Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

I am in the process of completing a 15 year ground up restoration of a 1936 120B 5 Passenger Touring Sedan. I am looking for information about the material that goes between the rear end of the running board(s) and the front of the rear fender(s). The Packard parts book says there is a "Spacer (To rear fender)" that goes there, Group #7.202, Part number 305416. Can anyone tell me what the material is? Or where I can find it? From looking at pictures on the web of other 1936 120's, it appears that there is a piece of curved rubber that takes up that space. When I bought the car many years ago, it was already disassembled with little or no pictures taken by the previous owner. Any information would be extremely helpful.

After checking the parts book again, looks like this part was used on all 1935 to 1937 120s, and on the 1937 115C.

If anyone has a close up picture (and can post it) of what that location looks like, that would also help a lot. Thanks.

it is included with the runningboard mats from Steele. just like it says, its a rubber piece that covers any irregular edge of the runningboard.

Are they "separate" pieces from Steele? Or are they integrated (attached) to the running board rubbers? To my knowledge, Steele does not sell them as separate items.

Follow up: I checked the Steele Rubber web site and found the items. Thanks for the information. I will call them and see if they will sell the spacers separately.
