  hi
seat spring, SNYDERS has some sets spring listed for the FRONT SEAT and has back seat spring for 1936 PHAETON,
if this helps
37Ragtopman, Maine

maybe the 36 rear seat spring can be used with a little work to them
there can not be a lot of difference,
I would get a 36 and a 37 parts book and do a part list number, compare,them

  ragtopman makes a good suggestion about getting a 37 parts book. Some of the parts you are looking for may fit other 37 body styles. The parts book will tell you by the part number. You can get the book from various V-8 parts vendors.

  Hi Robert37:
The trunk hinges for the 37 Phaeton (78-750) were common to the convertible sedan (78-740). They were common to the 38 Phaeton and 38 convertible sedan. They were not common to any other 37 models or other year cars. The part numbers are as follows:
78-748150, right hand hinge on lid
78-748151, left hand hinge on lid


If you cannot find these parts anywhere, but you do have old broken parts, a solution would be to have the parts scanned and then 3-D printed. You would also then have to have them tapped, polished, and chrome plated. The pin attaching the two halves of the hinges is probably common to all other trunk hinges and can be found. A company that can scan and 3-D print the parts is HV3DWorks.

The cup washer, 78-706865, was common to many models in 37 and 38, and hence I would expect you can find some.

  I have hinges and cup washers as well as many other '37 parts. If you don't find a header, I may still have a pattern if you can find someone to make it. Contact me at v8fordman@hotmail.com. I have both a phaeton and convertible sedan.
