On AHOOGA"S Classifieds is a notice from Rootlieb that they are in production of "31 molded running boards, delivery in approx. 90 days.
Don't know why it's not posted here by them?? FWIW

Paul in CT :):)
 
should of been posted here ! is it not where the push to have them made in the first place started here???? And a list ! You on the ball Paul....:D
 
Just bought a set for my 31 Tudor. Driver's side fit perfectly, but passengers side, the front pair of slots for the bell headed bolts that hold the board to the running board bracket were not indented in the back surface as all of the other bolt connections. If you try to use the correct Ford bolts, by using force, it creates a hump on the top surface. Only other way is to grind down the head of the correct bell headed bolt so that it will fit or use a non conforming carriage bolt which I understand Rootlieb is recommending. Not good if you are trying to "Restore" your car to near original.
