1939 Jaguar

I've been scouring the internet for a part for my 39 Jag. It was a classic Roadster kit. I was told that Classic Roadster II bought the stock from Classic Roadsters. I'm trying to find a side wing hinge bracket. I've tried everything with no luck. I'm down to checing on the net, or I'm going to have one built. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WTWest,
Making a long story short- CR's in any form does not exist anymore. The Jag has been out of production for at least ten years. Unfortunately I think you are down to having one made.

Sorry to be so much help.

Fred,
Thanks for the info!
In or like this case can you take a right hand part and reverse it?

some examples of past projects....fe pcv block off plates...custom rockershaft stands and end supports. fe and mopar 426 max wedge. if you can sketch or draw it or provide a sample we can make it.......not to say you will like the price but anything can be duplicated. carbon steel, aluminum, stainless, plastics, phenolics.

I, of all people understand the cost and time
of "special", custom made etc.!

the last cobra related job we did was to duplicate the t-nuts that fit into the top windshield channel for excalibers, that hold the soft top on. they were made out of 304 stainless. the customers response was that they are better looking than the ones that came with the car. i do believe they also fit other makes. the drawings and CNC programs are archived for new runs if need be.

fwb,
So you know, those "T" nuts fit all cobras, BUT, other than Bills, and now the old CR's I don't know what other companys use them?

Thanks for the help. I'm hoping to find someone locally to make one. A lot depends on the price. I haven't been to successful finding information on the 1939 "The Duke" model. Any information is helpful.
