Lots of good stuff here, check it out

 

Brattons they are in mount airy md 301-829-9880 OR 1800 255 1929

 

Check Sacramento Vintage Ford.

Reproductions are made by Vintique and sold by most early Ford parts houses.

The bands weigh nothing. And they are easy to twist when they are off the car. So shipping requires a large flat box and a lot of volume (expense).

I have one that I bought from a vendor at a car show. He told me that he did not like to ship them because of the potential for damage in shipment.

 

part #22400 $74.25

 

Thanks for the leads fellas

Anyone know from experience which is the best quality

Just reinstalled a factory original on a '31 Tudor on Friday, I'd look for an original, you know they'll fit.

 

just checked out the sacramento ford site looks interesting

 

I agree Completely!

Only problemis most of the ones Ive come across have been bruised up pretty bad

 

I got one from Mac's auto and I took the hammer to it and dumped it in the corner. They are JUNK!!! don't buy an aftermarket if you can find a half decent original one

 

Lot's of people have had problems with the aftermarket ones...they just don't fit...
Tell me I'm wrong...if you've found a good one...

 

I bought an aftermarket one at a swap meet last summer and it fit fine.. Not sure of the vendor, I think he's from TN...

 

back up

 

I think mine was from Macks. However since my A is channeled I had to trim the end and make new clamps so all I can say is the stainless is really nice and the shape fits the cowl well.

It did come in a huge box, but no shipping damage.
