Can anyone tell me if The Filling Stations "FS-118" Hood lace is correct for a 1930 Chevy? ... and ... Is the same hood lace used for both the cowl and the radiator shell?
Thanks!

Not to be a naysayer but I have never found and original '29-'32 radiator shell with a double beaded lacing. All I have only have one bead on the hood side and flat on the radiator side. All that is sold is double beaded. I have used a sharp blade to cut the lacing near the center of one of the beads remove the rope or twine and then flattened. Because of the sticky stuff on the fabric it quickly bonds to appear original.
I have found all radiator shells with replaced lacing (or those that I suspect to be replaced) to have the double beaded material.
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

Thanks JYD and Chipper ... I appreciate it!
The reason I asked was that I looked at all the pictures I could find online, and everybody's seemed to be different. My '30 doesn't have any at all so I didn't have anything to go by.
I tried to order the double beaded from The Filling Station this morning but, they're temporally out.
Sooo ... I guess hood lacing is on the back burner until FS gets some in. Until then, it's on to another area of this never ending project :)
Thanks again!

Have a question coming up after I do my home work. Did this to bring thread up just so I wouldn't have to research.  
I think I'm a fairly wise person because I'm smart enough to realise I'm not too bright.

RE JYD's comment from above: "The correct lacing for the cowl had an internal wire and that is also available from the Filling Station."
The Filling Station lists 2 types with wire, FS285 and 285A, which is correct for cowl lacing on my 31?
PS: Do we really have to have the horse with a bowel problem appear everytime we write the words "Junk Yard Dog"?

Both part numbers are the same cowl lacing, just different lengths. To determine which length cowl lacing you need, measure from the top center of the cowl down to the bottom side of the cowl where the lacing would end. The horse icon only appears if you use the initials J-Y-D. If you type out "Junkyard Dog" the icon will not appear.  :) :grin:

On eBay, 300162858835 is supposed to be cowl lacing kit. he frequently has radiator lacing too so give him an email.
>>i just checked again. the heading says shell, the body of the description says cowl. looks like shell rivets to me. better ask the guy.
I have both still waiting to be installed. Of course, the rats go to one bag but didn't chew up too much.
What color should it be?
Do I put on separate pieces on each side? for a total of 4 strips? 2 cowl, 2 radiator
