Any companies still making Landau irons?

Are there any companies still out there that produce a range of Landau irons?
Thanks

 

If any help Model A Ford landau irons are in Mac's catalog and I believe most Ford parts suppliers sell those.

 

sure hope you're restoring an original car - landau irons on anything else go along with diamond-shaped back windows TV antennas and gangster leans....

 

I have the Mac's irons, they're listed as rough castings but they're more a 'suggestion' of a landau iron. They also too long and will have to be (skillfully) chopped/rewelded, and they aluminum, which adds more to the mix.

I could also try to find an original set of A irons, do the same thing, and have them rechromed (unless they're pot metal, don't know how well that would weld, thinking it won't). Expensive there as well.

Yes, they're going on a really original car and I aim to keep them. I have one original, and the twin is missing. I only know of five other examples out there, not including mine, so this is more of a preservation mission than a hot rod.

 

Looks like you need to start casting them!! Now is the time!

 

Hey,

I'd think anyone who can run a metal cutting band saw or carbon arc torch & can weld "should " be able to build these!

If this is a really rare vehicle, you may be ''worm food " before one turns up.

Just a thought !

Well they're different L and R, so I can't just copy the one I have.

I'm still looking locally for someone who can weld the aluminum and wants to take on the job, but it would be a lot easier if I could souce them instead.

 

Try Mikes Model A Parts, he has some hard to find stuff

 

Does he have any off-brand stuff? This is for a 31 Willys, but I'll take a matching pair that fit the same length.

 

You might post your request on,and check out, the Willys forum on the AACA website:
