Hello to all,
I am working on replacing the wood in my front doors on a 1936 Model FA. I purchased replacement wood from Classic Wood Products. The quality appears to be excellent. The problem is I have more pieces than I removed from the doors and have no idea where they all go. Apparently someone has been in that door before me and removed some pieces. Classic Wood does not have a schematic on the locations of all the pieces. Asking for a little help if anybody has a drawing or knows where I can get one for the placement of the wood. Most of it is self explanatory but some pieces I'm have trouble with. In particular the door corner braces (047-1177) and the door bottom bar (046-1175). Also, how is the threaded rod attached to the bottom of the door? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom H.

Are the corner braces cut at a 45 degree, or are they "sistered" onto a vertical timber or other door component? Can you post pictures?

This is all I have at the moment. But clearly there's a schematic book somewhere

Thanks for the reply. The corner braces I have are shaped like a triangle (two sides being equal lengths) and not mitered or ribbed to demonstrate anyplace they might fit. The numbers I referenced appear to be Classic Wood Products numbers as I can't fine them in any GM book or manual that I have. I'll try posting some pictures but I still have issues with pictures on this website. Any opinions are appreciated.

Thanks again.

Usually the triangular pieces go directly on the bottom edge of the board that runs across the the bottom edge of the window opening. The screw into the door side wood on each end and the bottom of that window board. I’m basing this on earlier cars/trucks I’ve done as I’ve not done a 36 so it’s an educated guess. Are there any holes for screw bored in the corners of the triangles?
As far as the support rod, if it’s situated to help lift, it should have a eye in the end to fasten the end to the bottom board or there should be a plate with a threaded hole/nut on it if the support rod is threaded on the end. If the support rod is designed to push down, the end of the rod could simply be put into the top edge of the bottom board by drilling a hole big enough to accept the rod end. Again, this is just some ideas as I don’t know the model and haven’t worked on one. Pictures would definitely help and try to learn how to post them as that will greatly help you with these, and questions down the road you’ll have.
