38 zep

[mrg]

still got alot of scrubbing left to even out the paint and looks like there is still alot of chrome under that rust but what I really need is the rite struts, put some on that are similar in bend but the og's are tubular (hollow?) and aluminum, look at the size of the bracket holes so alot bigger around , don't know if there steel versions and if they were used on other models, if anyone can help let me know. Think I will post something in the wanted section also. Thanks

Fine bike.

Looks like the immediate precursor to my '39 zep, which does have hollow aluminum truss rods.
You are probably going to be searching for a while, but ya got the guard.

I could have swore yesterday in this thread it said this was a HP Snyder built bike. It looks like that was deleted. I think it is CWC built. ??????????

Snyder built, its in the wanted thread (aluminum struts) I said that, it has HP Snyder rear fender bridge (curved) and the frame lugs at the bottom bracket. I would rather have a CWC but Wards had them built to the same specs, so I am happy to have either.

the struts you need are steel and hollow same as the cwc built ones
