Model A rain gutter

Has any one used one of the after market two piece aluminum roof gutters? Does any one have any good pictures of what they look like? I'm trying to fit something on my 1930 Essex sedan. Any ideas?

 

Go to the Ford Barn forum it is a restores site. I have read threads on this subject there.

 

I used the 32 ford ones that speedway sells, worked perfectly on my 29 dodge coupe

 

Thank you for the tips, I'll check it them out.

 

i got the ones from snyders antiques for my model a sedan and they worked great

 

They are good, just not easy to bend and keep them together, or are they easy to put back together when taken apart. They use a wax paper method to make them slip some, overalll good, not perfect. IMO

 

I made a template then buck and made my own. I used half in sq tubing bent to the contour of my template. I then drilled holes every half inch the length of the rain gutter. I welded them in and blended with body work.

 

^^^ here is a side view. Sorry nothing close up. I tried 2 piece aluminum with a piece of wax paper between the pieces. I heated slowly but when they were bent around the buck the would twist instead of bend.

 

Thanks all for the info, much appreciated.

 

Those aluminum pieces came with my coupe when I bought it and I couldn't figure out a good way to bend and attach them. I also started to take square tubing and make my own but found some conduit that worked perfect. The edges have a bead on them so it makes a good v to tack with on the inside against the body and the bead on the outside will not chip paint like a sharp edge would. Heat it some (I just used Mapp gas) and it will bend pretty good without kinking. I capped mine off on the the front but you could leave it open.

 

There's a Hamber that makes them but can't recall his name.Maybe classifieds?

 

Thats going to be pretty hard to get paint inside
