I have one old one left that was Jay Fishers.  The face needs restoration.

Chet,
Thanks!  Their 1/4-24 Pan head screw looks close!
One of mine popped off when I was installing my dash, liked to never found it in the garage!

I see part number H-2 on page 287. Is that the correct part?

Regarding the headlight plugs, the Ford plugs do not interchange.  However, you could use the Ford plugs if you also install Ford components in the headlight.
I was able to reuse my plug brass wire ends, but that was 40 years ago.
You might be able to solder them and make them work even if slightly damaged.

As I recall, each of the rear door hinges have one machine bolt through and two wood screws. 
For my machine screws, I set the nuts in place so they would not move with JB weld an a small nail or two, that way I can tighten them if ever needed, or even remove them if necessary.

Chet,
On the front doors the door hinge plates go between the metal face plate and the wood pillar. For this reason the wood pillar and body are recessed for the hinges.  The holes for the front hinges are threaded for machine screws.
I am out of town this week so cannot send a picture till next week.

Plymouth Bulletin No 256,  Vol 43, # 6, dated Sep-Oct 2002.  The article is, "Through a Glass Darkly", one of Edwin Sapp's many fine articles on 1929 Plymouths.

There are several companies that advertise in Hemings and the AACA that repair instruments.  I am sure they are all pricy.  One club member I know recommends Bobs Speedometer (bobsspedometer.com).  He does all types of instruments for old cars. Does good work but expensive.
  You might also call Tom Hannaford at Then and Now Automotive Parts. he may be able to refer you to someone. When my speedo broke he referred me to a man in Naples Florida that repaired it for me, it works great now.
  It might be a lot less costly though if you can find a replacement one on eBay, as they show up on occasion.

I agree with Chet. The interior wood on my 29 appears to be stained a dark reddish- brown.  Not that anyone will see it when it is completed.

Ted,
Thanks!

Hey Ted,
When you had your rims powder coated  did you have to do anything special to prep them? Were the rims split open or together when you sent them to be powder coated?

I have had good results with Elmers Damged Wood Repair system. It comes in two parts, you mix equal amounts together.  It sets in about 10 min and cures in less than an hour.  It can be sanded, drilled and stained. It is available in most big hardware stores for about $17.  Well worth the money.

Looking good, Chet!

I replaced a broken top cork in my vacuum tank with a large natural cork of similar size.  It looks ugly, but it works great!  I did not coat the cork with anything. I avoid ethanol gas too. (The date on the photo is wrong, my old camera will not save the correct date.)

I replaced a cork in mine with a cork of similar size and it works like a champ.  I have seen only a few of these and the corks were not all the same. Mine had three stacked corks. I just replaced the broken one in the same manner.
