These came with my 31 roadster, but obviously don't fit it. Do they look familiar to anybody?

Here are pictures of the screw and where it fits in the windwing clamp.

I'm in bad shape. I can't find one of the screws for my windwings, and the only thing I can find from the vendors is the complete set of clamps for $80, more or less. Would anybody have an extra screw? I'd be willing to pay a lot more than what one usually pays for a single screw.

I'm in MAFCA and the local club, and I have not gotten any support from either.

I don't know about window glass, but I took my mirror to two local shops and got two copies of my original (on the right in the picture). The mirror with my name taped on it was the right size, but only 1/8 inch thick. It was ready about 12 hours after I ordered it. The mirror in the frame came...

Thanks for the information. In 90 years, who knows what somebody might have ordered from J.C. Whitney to stick on his car? I'm not a lot concerned about that right now, because I'm just doing what I can to improve it cosmetically before I list it for sale. Since I've had it, I've driven it an...

You know whereof you speak. How do you like my new floor mat? Of course, I'm just wasting time with mirrors and floor mats on a car that still won't run right. It's really cool to ride around town in a Ford roadster, but it's really embarrassing when the engine dies in the middle of a left turn...

I'm not blaming Snyder's. I said I didn't measure beforehand. I imagine most vendors get this licensed Ford stuff from the same manufacturers, so whoever I order a mirror from, it's not going to fit my car.

I did. They said I could return the mirror for a credit to my card. The mirror was $7.50, and the postage to return it would be half that much. Maybe my wife needs a new mirror to carry in her purse.

Last month, I was unhappy because the cable in my pop out repair kit was too small to fit securely in the switch housing. This month, I'm unhappy because the mirror glass I ordered is too small. Snyder's advertises it as fitting a 28-31 car, and gives its size as 2-1/2" x 4-1/2". The package it...

A can of dusting spray, used to clean keyboards and such, can get as cold as - 60F if sprayed upside down.

Touché. If I could weld, turn on a lathe, and plate metal, I'd tell those vendors what to do with their imperfect parts. Until then, I'd should probably be grateful the parts are available at all.

A previous FordBarn thread gave lots of opinions on this. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119608&showall=1

I complained last week about the ill-fitting ignition repair kit, and I'm complaining this week about the poorly-designed choke rod set. Whereas Henry attached the knob firmly to the rod, the reproducers have made a rod with the knob screwed on. Using such a rod, particularly with new grommets...
