Show ELIMINATING BODY SQUEAKS Thick Leather Straps or Washers, Held in Position by Bolts, Will Stop Noise. Motorcar frames are not at all rigid under the distorting influences of an irregular ir-regular road surface, whereas the body work is very much less free to bend and give. This gives rise to slight rubbing rub-bing at various places where the frame is in contact with the body sills, and since these points of free contact are not lubricated squeaks result. The remedy is to insulate the body from the frame with thick leather straps or washers, so placed as to be held in position po-sition by the bolts securing the two. In like manner the filler board used with some types of windshield to make it conform with the outline of the car dash can be prevented from squeaking by the insertion of a strip of leather or felt. |
