I may have some waffle washers that I scavenged from a field find.  They may not be perfect but should be usable.  How many do you need?

Kim that would be great!  I had been told that the seats were available in leather but have never seen an example and could not find any supporting documentation.  I doubt leather would have not been available in the rumble seat coupe if you could get it in the business coupe.  This is just what I have been looking for.

Russ:  I have my great-grandfather's '29 coupe.  I got it from my grandparents when I was about 11 or 12 (about 1954) and drove it around the Nebr farm and to school until I was 14.  The car is a business coupe, not a rumble seat coupe.  It had a leather seat that I am certain was original.  I have pictures of the interior before I began restoration.  If those can help you I will send them to you.  Let me know.  Kim Mc

Stuff 4 Sale / 21" tires

I have 2 Allstate Safety Tread 4.50 X 21 tires if anyone needs them.  They are old but the tread is good and they'd make decent spares. Yours for the cost of shipping.

Chet I spoke with Ted but he has a roadster (lucky guy) so no help there.  Still looking for pictures of an original interior!

Well, no progress on the interior question. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any information on the interiors of the early Plymouths.  So, I will move to plan B and ask if anyone has any pictures of the original interiors of the early Plymouths and in particular the 30-U coupe.  Understandably,  most cars have had their interiors redone and looking at the pictures of those cars I have doesn't help much as people seem to have done whatever worked for them as opposed to what was original.  I may wind up doing that too but I'd like to get it right if possible. Thanks.

I can't help with the washers but I believe the slotted screws are 1/4 20 3/8" length.  If you can't get locally you can order from boltdepot.com.

Link to screws

Check your sample make sure they are 1/4 20 TPI.  Very common.  If you only need a couple (10 or 20) I have a box of them.

Things you are looking for. / "waffle" washers and door hing...
Last post by kimmc - January 17, 2024, 04:11:30 PM
I am looking for 2 different items:

1) Waffle washers also referred to as wavy washers or buckle washers (picture attached); these fit between the fabric discs that comprise the front and rear universal joints.  I need 24. I believe a full complement is 42.

2) The machine screws (picture attached) that anchor the hinges to the doors and A pilar. Mine is a '29 coupe. I do not know if other body styles used the same screw but I would guess they do.  Some of mine have a damaged screwdriver slot making them unusable.  I need 6 screws with good slots and threads. 

If you know of a source for these items, please let me know.  Thanks.  Kim Mc
