Anybody have some of these? I don't think the vintique rubber strips will fit worth a s**t. Any substitute for them?

Some of these What? -
Vintique is not known for quality. Try Snyder's, Bratton's, Bert's.Comment

Jeez. That's ... terriblle. Did you order from all those guys? And they were all Vintique? I would have some conversations with them if that was the case.Last edited by Ray Horton; 12-07-2017, 10:19 PM.

You can just buy the rubbers if your original metal pieces are good.. I used the whole replacement assy and it worked out ok3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

I bought some of the aluminum repos a year ago and they don't fit. Too bulky. They sent the rubber strips with them and they are too bulky also. I'm looking at the rubber strips in the aluminum pieces and they might work..png "eek")

We have a great chance to pass our hobby down to the new generations. THe MHS Engineering Students have a Tudor to restore. Let's help them out by providing them with gift cards for parts they may need. I'll start with $20 from Bert's Model A Store in Denver. Just ordered the card, once it gets here I'll forward it on to them.
Who else wants to help?
Thanks!10-30-2020, 03:16 PM -

Any recommendations on where to order parts, good service, selection and prices?07-24-2019, 06:32 PM -
I think we who have restored Model A's are very fortunate to have the quality suppliers with reproduction parts that are correct. I have gotten several T parts that are pretty low quality and need a lot of work to make them look and fit correctly. Even the simple items are wrong like a straight carburetor control rod that is too long and has wrong shaped ends that don't fit. I just received an order...01-31-2020, 08:51 AM -
Was going to put this in technical, but pertains to both sections. Who is making all the repro parts offered on the market today? How much of this is US made and how much is from overseas?...09-25-2017, 08:16 AM -
Which supplier do you buy the majority of your Model A parts from.
I need this information for a project that I am working on.

Is there a place on VFF where reproduction parts are reviewed by purchasers who have either been thrilled or stung? Be nice to have a place to find that kind of information. I'm sure that I am not the only one here who has been really irritated by, and sometimes financially stung when a catalog describes something as "perfect replacement", "best of 3 available" and then when you...02-29-2020, 12:25 AM -
When I ordered the short pitman arm from Bert's, I asked Steve for a new catalog.
There is a whole section in the back full of exploded views. This will sure come in handy.
I like to get parts catalogs from A&L, Bert's Bratton's, and Snyder's. Sometimes one seller will have something another may not have.04-04-2018, 08:11 PM -
I am looking at an early 1931 Tudor which is sitting, partially disassembled, in the owner's garage. The body is basically sound, but the more I look at it, the more that is obviously missing. The seller also had a roadster for sale, and when it sold, evidently a lot of the parts from the Tudor went with it. Much of the missing stuff is available from Mikes, Bert's and Brattons, but there are some...08-20-2019, 09:26 AM

Good evening. I have been spending quite a bit of time working on my A over the winter and I think that I might have an observation. I have a couple of truckloads of parts, original and early reproduction, that I bought from estates. I have also bought new reproduction parts to fill the gaps in what I needed. It appears to me like there is a dramatic improvement in the quality of the newer parts...03-20-2020, 05:36 PM
