Congratulations Chet, well done!
I like your outside rear view mirrors. Where did you get them?

[chetbrz]

John, I bought them one of the years I visited Hershey.  I have been collecting parts for years.  Sorry I can't supply a contact. 

FYI the front wheel seal worked perfectly.  Also the NAPA bearings and races fit perfect.  Found those part numbers on Tods web site.

Ok. I have seen them in Ford Model A Catalogs. I'll have to try one if those, with an extended hinge pin.
