General Discussion / Re: 30-U interior
Last post by Russ T. Fender - January 21, 2024, 01:16:17 PM
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.

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

I feel your pain.  There is minimal information available for the early years.  Still the POC would be the most critical judge, but it seems that you have already gone down that road.  As of Q3 2023, Nick Romano is listed as Tech Advisor for your year. I PM the contact info.

Thanks.  Bob McMulkin, who was an old friend of mine,  was the technical advisor for those cars but he unfortunately passed away a few years ago. I don't know who, if anyone, took over for him.  He did not have the answer and doubted that anyone would be able to say one way or the other.
I thought I would give it one last try before I bit the bullet and went with a cloth interior.  My original interior is hidden under seat covers installed by the original owner after it wore out.  I guess I will just try to get as close a match as I can and leave it at that!

I wish that I could help you but maybe you should try the Technical Advisor for 1930, 30U, PA from the Plymouth Owners Club.  If you need contact info send me a PM or an email.

General Discussion / 30-U interior
Last post by Russ T. Fender - January 14, 2024, 05:35:10 PM
I am finally at the point in my restoration where I need to make some decisions about finishing the interior.  My car is a rumble seat coupe and the rumble seat upholstery is original and in good condition so my question is limited to the interior.  Many years ago I was told by some club members, who have long since passed, that the seats could have been ordered in leather as an option.  This was based on the fact that the roadsters came that way.  That would be my preference but I cannot find any documentation to support that so I am wondering if anyone has any information about that, one way or the other.  I am a bit of a purest (within reason) and want things to be correct so if I can't document the use of leather as an option I will be looking for suggestion on alternatives.  Thanks!
