firewall insulation repo

russmaas

Talked to my manufactor on the firewall pad. Should have these in hand in 2.5 weeks to sell. I gave them patterns for a 51-54 models. Also will have the convertible option available. My question is there any significant difference from the 48-50 models. I believe the mounting and wiper cables are the same location but the holes for the wiring and parking brake may be different. Price will be at $95 plus shipping. If they only difference is the wiring I will keep the holes blank on them and have purchaser adapt holes were they need to be.

I am also looking for actual door cards in good shape that I can take a pattern from for 1948- thru 54 2 or 4 doors. So mounting holes and such have to be in place. You can also just leave the upholstrey on. I will supply a free set to anyone that can supply me with good patterns.
Thanks,

Russ, I'm curious. Does any one produce the proper material used in the 52/53 Hornet trunks? Years ago I used a period correct " carpet material", since I could not find info on the original.

On the subject of door cards. The door for a 49 convertible and a 49 Super Two door sedan do not use the same clip configuration on the bottom. The convertible had holes along the bottom. The two door has a strip that interlocks and no clips. Otherwise they are the same dimensions. The Vin number convert was a 494-87648 the two door was 491-136303. I figured the production change happened in mid 49. No doubt speeded up assembly time.
