Hi guys,
What do you suggest I use as insulating tape between all the brackets and the wood parts on my '34?
Just regular canvas?
Best regards, Landman

Friction tape is also suggested in the Fisher Body manual.

In the last few days JimG emailed me as to what was used.He found pieces of mohair upholstery material in his 1935.
Looks as if they picked up any scraps that were laying on the floor

More on the upholstery material in the joints. The pieces I removed as I was disassempoling my 35 Master were all neatly cut rectangles with holes for bolts to pass through. These pieces were between each metal to wood joint that was still intact in my car. Each piece stuck out bit beyond the joint itself (maybe 1/8 inch all around). In the joint, the material was saturated with an asphaltic goop - still somewhat soft. I was considering trying to get some scraps from Hampton Coach to put in my joints as I install the new wood. Is going too far to be authentic? :confused:

Friction tape is what Gator pulled up on eBay, the Fisher body manual shows it being used several places. It is available from McMaster and is on page 3195 in their online catalog.. Friction Tape This traditional black cotton electrician's tape provides an abrasion-resistant shield for overwrapping low-voltage splices. The rubber adhesive applied to both sides of this tape works as a nonslip surface when applied to tool handles. Total thickness is .015". Dielectric strength (the ability to withstand electrical voltage without rupture) is 1200 volts and tensile strength is 40 lbs./in. width. Temperature range is 0° to 194° F (apply at temperatures from 40° to 100° F). Tape is supplied on a cardboard spool with a 1 1/4" ID. Meets ASTM D69 requirements. Per Roll Lg., Roll Case Partial Full Width yds. Dia. Qty. Case Case 3/4" 20 3 1/2" 20 76465A1 $2.51 $2.27 1 1/2" 20 3 1/2" 20 76465A5 5.61 5.08 ...It is the old timey electrical black rubber impregnated cloth tape us oldtimers used before 3M came up with the plastic electrical tape that has been in common use since ??????? (this photo is from eBay)... ![[Linked Image from i16.ebayimg.com]](http://i16.ebayimg.com/02/i/03/5f/bd/92_1_b.JPG) A side note. Plastic electrical tape is NOT original on cars built before 1948 and maybe up to 1954

a couple weeks back, we pulled up the '40 kc toeboard for the first time and found some remnants of cloth strips along the left & right sides...looked to us like it was to prevent squeaks?..would this have been canvas or dessicated friction tape?..  epi

Thanks for the site, some cool stuff:
Page 3194 in the catalog has 'glass' cloth elec. tape.
"Scotch 27 (Class B) and 69 (Class H) Glass Cloth Electrical Tape… This tape is corrosion and puncture resistant. It has a woven glass base and won't shrink, rot, or burn. Adhesive is thermosetting, becoming stronger at high temperatures. Tape has no liner.
