Just picked up this old plane…. 22000 documented original miles, the start of my pain and punishment


Would anyone know where to get aftermarket wheel studs? Got a set of wheels going on, I believe they are m12 x 1.5 both LH and RH

Need to figure out:
Are the chrome drip rail, door frames and sill mouldings optional equipment or not?

Actually every FL car has metric threads. Hint, some have 6, others have 8 I always wondered why

Oh come on Sid. Don't tease us. Just tell us.

In the meantime, the wheel studs/bolts/nuts are most likely 1/2" x 20, LH on the left side of the car and RH on the right side of the car.

As researched recently by Dels56:

Location: So. Cal		Sid is referring to the spark plug threads, and he is right. I think because the plug was invented in Europe, but I don't remember now.

Looking thru the windows I see red upholstery;
What trim code is that? Is it RCA or RCX?
A data plate image, please!!! It is located on the cowl near the left hood hinge…
