Hi all, I'm doing a Business Coupe roof but I have the same question. If any pictures were shared, can you please send them my way too? My email is pk.larkin@outlook.com. Thanks! Pat

Thanks for all of the responses! I've reached out to a few of the suppliers mentioned above and I'm waiting to hear back from any of them. Fingers crossed! Thanks again.

Hi all, The restoration of my Business Coupe continues and it's time for glass. After reaching out to Bratton's today, I learned that most (all?) of the parts dealers don't carry glass any longer. I'm suddenly on the hunt for a glass dealer in the NYC tri-state area. Does anyone have any...

Sorry for the duplicate entry! I can't figure out how to delete the second post...

I just bought a set from Brattons, getting ready to install. Were the original shocks painted? If so, painted black? Thanks !

Pictures added. First two are of the spindle in question without the dust ring and inner bearing. Third one has the ring and bearing in place to show the gap between the side of the spindle and the bearing. Thanks all very much for your help! Steve, does Bert's sell used spindles? I...

Thanks! I was thinking the same but all good with the seal. Seems to be ok which is why I’m wondering about the spindle itself.

Thanks! The shorter spindle is the problem one.

Hi folks, Looking for your insight. I'm restoring an old 1929 Business Coupe and I took it for a test drive this week. The front passenger side wheel has a slight wobble. After a lot of checking, I've discovered that the "bad" spindle is 1/4-inch shorter than the other, and the inner bearing...

Thanks Brian. I was thinking same based on the reading I was doing. I'll leave it out. Thanks for the insight.

Hi folks, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope all had a great holiday. I've started a rebuild of the 7-tooth steering column on my 1929 and the rebuild kit came with two sector shaft bushings that look different from the ones that were in the sector shaft housing. I checked on each parts suppliers'...

Thanks Bob!

Hi again all, Thanks for your continued help. My restoration on a '29 54-A continues, and it's running! I took a look at the old headlights today and they don't seem right. They seem "deeper" than the pictures of other '29 headlights I've seen and there's no hole for an adjusting screw in...

Hi folks, Thanks for your help. Jumper cables didn't work, but running the negative and positive leads directly to the starter worked! Thanks very much for your help. Pat

Thanks Marshall. I checked and the bevel is facing the back. Wondering if the starter itself isn't strong enough to turn the engine. Anyone have a good way to check the torque generated by the starter?
