cowl band

Reproduction cowl bands do NOT fit worth a flip. If you are going to use one, you must do the fit-work prior to painting. Because of this, we are restoring original cowl bands which is very laborious however much faster in time than fitting a new repro band.
 
the new repro bands are currently off the market. There were two companies making these in the past. One went bankrupt about 1 1/2 years ago, and the other is retooling to make a nicer and better fitting product. The company retooling is not giving any idea when they will be back on the market.
 
Is the Briggs a different length? I know many are the same and a few are about 1/2” longer per side. I have restored regulars..... restored by Doug Bruce (the best)

Bill, Clark needs the early 30 with the extra length. I suggested he check with Steve Becker.

Yes, Doug was the master, ...and unfortunately, all his knowledge left this earth when he passed.
 
Guys,


It has been a few years since I got on here and a lot has happened since then.
Starting with I have had some serious health issues. I got COVID really bad with large blood clots in my lungs, clots in my arms and legs and a really bad one that I thank God for saving me, a pulmonary saddle embolism that my Dr. said normally the next step would be the morgue. I also have a wound in my leg that started out as an infection and wound care has been treating since Nov. 2020. I have had surgery to close it, hyperbaric treatments which caused cataracts and I had to have surgery on it as well along with I am currently on my 6th PICC line for infections on it.

With all that I am still kicking and working on getting the shop up and running but on a more limited basis.

One of the first parts I should have on the shelf will be the Polished Stainless Cowl Bands. I will also have them in non polished if you want to do it yourself and plain steel.
I will also have most of the die stamped steel patch panels available along the Ford script ignition coils and with the bed wood for the Model T and Model A's.


I will let you all know when I have my inventory again and would appreciate it very much if you would still consider AHOOGA A & T for your patch panels and other parts.


Thank you all,
Dale Adkins

It's been years since I mess with a cowl band. I have a chance to take a nice one off a 30 coupe and can't remember how to take it off without messing it up.
Any advice would be appreciated.
 
Hello I remember the repro cowl band a friend of mine tried fitting, gave up on it and bought a repaired original . It was too short and didn’t fit around the curve of the gas tank .

Tom - I presume the cowl band on a coupe attaches the same way as a sedan. One nut each side that goes to a stud that protrudes down from the cowl band at an angle through the bottom of the cowl assembly. You get to it with a socket. You then just tease the band off.
 
I have one in my shop off of a 1930 Coupe. It does NOT have the clips at the bottom that secure it to the body. It's a nice original but not perfect
 
UPDATE!!!

I had some Un-Polished Cowl Bands for sale on my website ahoogaparts.com but I sold out of them. The rest I sent to the company that is polishing them for me. I have been on them to get me a batch, and I will have them listed as soon as they are available.

But I was wondering besides the fact that the early 30 Cowl Band had three bolts on each side, what was the difference in them and the later 30 and 31 Cowl Bands. Were they longer or shorter?
If I can, I would like to make them as well. And I know, these aren't going to be a high demand part but if you were the guy looking for one, and there is nothing available, wouldn't you like to be able to find at least one supplier of them? I know I would.


I have added a few pictures of some of the Die Stamped parts we make.

My email address is dale@ahoogaparts.com if you have any questions.

Thank you,
