OK all. I have been doing a lot of searching and research and found a supplier of the 1/16th inch semi tubular rivets a bit longer than those provided with the new irons so all is well. My thanks to everyone who took the time to address this issue for me. Jay Cee Sales & Rivet Farmington, Mi.

Ahh yes, I forgot about McMaster-Carr. They do have tube rivets. Any suggestions as to the diameter that I need?

Actually a friend recently did the counter sink work a round. Just doesn't look right to me as I am a stickler for authenticity.

I am thinking I will see if I can plane down a set of new boards from Snyders to 11/16.

Thanks for the input joe. Unfortunately I don't have the woodworking tools or skills to make my own. I was hoping to find a source of longer rivets to accommodate the new commercial boards sold by the parts supplier.

Looking for input on finding the right length floorboard reinforcing iron rivets. The ones that come with the irons are too short when used with new floorboards. Not enough "meat" below the board to peen over. I am guessing that this is because the new boards are thicker than the originals. Does...

Solution kindly provided. Thanks to all.

All of the parts suppliers have been on back order for months on the 30-31 floorboard reinforcement irons. The early irons are available. Has anyone modified the early irons to match the late irons?

Thanks for the input. FWIW, my research has found a model A parts company in Britian that still sells the hollow studs as original. Not real keen on ordering from such a long distance though. As to the shocks, I have not been able to reach John Holland. Looks like he is retired as noted by others.

Looking for a source of the carpet studs with the correct end that needs to be peened over. All the parts suppliers have the studs with the threaded end, which is of course not correct. Also looking for a recommended source to rebuild a set of shocks.

I am looking for a nice 1931 Model A clutch pedal. Prefer not to have to weld or rebuild.

Looking for a set of rebuilt original or new Stipe shocks for model A

Thank you all for your input

I have found a guy on E Bay that advertises that he "bought out" Carlton Glass? He says he has them available but I know nothing of him or his company. Either Ford or TriPlex available with date. Does anyone know if it would be correct to do the side windows as well on a mid 31 cabbie?

Who sells the etching kits for model A's? Looking for the correct one for a June 1931 68C. Also, did Ford put any "bugs" on the side windows for that car? Thanks.

I purchased the car already restored. The interior was originally from Classtique and I am sure will be acceptable to the vast majority. I happen to be very fortunate to live near Bill Sturm's shop and visit often. I had a long discussion about the interior as that has been his specialty for...

Have a late 31 68C that came with leather front seat but the color is too yellow. Typical for what you get from the current supplier/upholsterers. Original was darker in color. Has anyone re dyed to better approximate original?

Problem solved. Thanks.

Has anyone been in contact with him recently?

I ordered a model A generator/alternator from Russ Evans a few months ago and have been trying to make contact with him to no avail. Left phone and text messages. This is not like Russ as he has always been quick to respond. Has anyone talked with him recently? I hope all is well.
