Well, Semi-Hudsonless Bill, we have two problems. First, we aren't 100%

sure what lacing Hudson used for any given year and second, the prime

candidate to my mind for the 24/25/26 models is 7/8 x 3/16 flat, not

channeled for which I have yet to find a source. Those of us working on that

range of cars need to decide whether we are better off using the correct

looking but too thin 7/8 x 1/8 flat or the correctly dimensioned 7/8 x 3/16

channeled that will look wrong. Clear as mud?
