Well Snyders has the details on their website for this glass bedding material item A-3401-X The Slant Window material item A-3401-SW is different

Thanks for the reply. The 1931 Slant Window uses a different material in the bottom metal channel. Other Model A's use a black neoprene bedding material that swells when oil is applied. This swelling helps to hold the three pieces together. This rubber material for the Slant Window model is not...

I have 6 new glass side windows to install in my '31 Slant Window Model A. The bottom of each glass panel fits in a metal channel that is lined with a rubber molded piece. (Purchased a roll of this rubber from Snyders) What type of glue / sealant should I use to hold these three pieces...

Thanks ..Will let you know how it comes together...The right fanbelt size and material may work as well

I also notice that the left and right sides of the seat bucket are not stamped the same. Tabs are in different positions. Does anyone have some info on the reason for this ? I can post some pics ..Thanks in advance

Thanks Herb. I think the slots were used to tack the upholstery around the bottom of the seat. The rivets where there to hold a tacking strip in place on each side of the seat. Just my guess. Will see if I hear any other comments Thanks for you input

I am reupholstering the front seat of my 1931 Slant Window Model A On the inside of the sides the steel tub there are four rivets with slots on the floor of the tub. I imagine there should be a piece of wood covering the slots and held in place by the rivets. Is this correct? Any pictures...
