1936 ford fender welt

[1936 cv sedan]

Is 3/16 or 1/4 inch correct ?

 

[Randy in ca]

1/4" is what all the sellers seem to list for 1932-48 Cars and 1932-72 Trucks.

I Measured the original welting on my 35 coupe front fenders. It is 3/16 inch.

Guys, the original welt had a finished diameter of .230". The twisted paper core was .160"
Ralph, if your welt is 3/16" (.187) it has either shrunk big time or has been replaced at some point.

 

[RalphM]

It’s pretty old and worn, so it may have lost diameter.

Is this true for 35 pickup?

Pretty much all of this welt, if it was there to start with, was completely gone on my pickup.

Thanks,

Heard, not 100% certain but do believe the same welt was used from '32 through '48.
