Brad Landoll, Owner 403 Spruce, P.O. Box 177 Pierce City, MO 65723 USA 417-476-2871 Email: blandoll@hotmail.com   Fine Aluminum Reproduction Running board Moldings/Edgings Catalog available – good reference   Aluminum Reproduction Running Board Moldings For Jewett ‘Six’ Automobiles 1922, 23’,24’ & 1st Series 1925 #2020, 4-rib ¾" tread x 1" leg & end pieces ¾" tread x 1-1/4" leg & face piece (No back piece originally)       Notes & Tips: Debossed screw holes can be placed on the face of the molding if spacing information is furnished. Furnishing a hole pattern strip works best. His #1 small hole matches the original. There is a reasonable charge for this service. Remember to allow for the thickness of the linoleum. (Both light gray and dark gray linoleum were used) When calculating lengths add a little extra for each mitered end. At this date we don’t know if the 1925 2nd Series and 1926 cars had this same type of molding, but it would be acceptable to use it until further research is complete. Call, write or email for current prices and shipping costs. Checks or Money Orders preferred. No credit cards or Pay Pal (yet).
