The parts book says part No.373032 will fit 34-36. Is it safe to assume that the ones at FS and I&I would fit on a '34 Master? Has anyone tried them? They're somewhat cheaper than rechroming the originals. Best Regards, Pat

My personal preference is to rechrome/refurbish the originals even if the cost is a bit higher. VCCA Member 43216 Save a life, adopt a senior shelter pet. 1938 HB Business Coupe 1953 210 Sedan

I wonder if that would weaken it too much? I tried one on a scrap plate. The alternative is to rechrome the originals. Best Regards, Pat

That's why I purchased those.Like I said in My post they fit if you enlarge the hole in the bushing. I decided to keep them rather than pay 3-400 to get the priginals rechromed. Best Regards, Pat

I made these in stainless for years and they fit better than I&I's. Any man that thinks he is too old to learn something new probably always was
