    headlight bar patch

    Greetings to all and I hope you're all safe. I am working on a 1931 fender that needs a patch panel where the headlight bar is attached. I have the patches and they have indentations in them (dimples). Can anyone tell me if the front end of the patch tilts up or down? Any help is much appreciated.

    Fan belt questions

    I have two 29's, both with the same fan belt problem. When I install a new fan belt, everything is fine. Once the belt gets some mileage on it, it stretches a little.

    Rumble seat grab handles

    I have a 1930 coupe and I want to install rumble seat grab handles. Can anybody give me the exact location? I know that these "handles" were top rests for the roadster, but they also help in entering and exiting the rumble. Also, did any coupes originally have these handles? Thanks for the help.

    Mc Cord radiator

    I have been working on a 1929 chassis with a McCord R-5000 radiator. Can anybody give me information about this radiator? It seems to be clear with no obstructions. I guess my question is whether this is a decent radiator or should I look at replacing it. Thanks for the help.
