I just joined, I think. Was there another Briggs Leatherback group several years ago?

I have a OD-C1 with one of the mounting ears broken off. I purchased one of the reproduction bases from Bratton's. It was expensive. around $120. I was impressed how well it was made. The only thing I had to do it was use a Dremel to grind down around the outer edge a little so the cover fit...

I have the same motor and have looked for the arm and blade with no luck. Please keep us updated if you find a source.

Did you check for accommodations in Tooele or Salt Lake City, Utah? They are about 1.5 hrs east of Bonneville.

Has anyone installed a drum tail light on the right side of a 1928 Fordor? Mine has the tail light bracket that mounts to the rear skirt and not to the rear fender. I see that Snyder's has a right side Sedan/Touring bracket part number A-13473-AR. Does anyone know if this is the correct bracket...

Which Fordor are you talking about? If its a 1928 Leatherback Fordor I can help you out.

I am looking for a good working or restorable Owen-Dyneto Closed Car OD-C1A or B wiper motor for a 1928 Fordor Sedan.

I can't locate a OD-C1 wiper for my 1928 Leatherback so I would like to use another wiper moter I have. It is made by EA Lab but has a different shaft that the arm attaches to. I have looked at several web sites to identify what I have so I can locate an arm and blade but have had no luck. Can...
