Hey Mark,

I've not yet 100% decided what I'm going to do yet - You are 1st on my list when I decide!

BART

Thanks, just let me know. I appreciate it.

I checked out Dave’s photos - great shots, answered some questions!!
Didn’t get a good shot of the bars or kick stand!
Thx,
Bart

37 Zep Owners, is this the correct kickstand????
Thx,
Bart

I would say the square stock version, think the round stock came out a couple of years later.

 

[Barto]

Ahhhhh, I know what you mean, I’ve seen them!
thx MRG!!
I also noticed on the 1st catalog page has an illustration of the horn button screws - I have this style and was told it was an earlier version! The second version are what I’ll call standard horizontal screw pattern!

@mrg & @Freqman1,
These fenders are being offered as prewar Rollfast’. I notice there are no drop stand stops (like a 1938 Hawthorne). Are these the same fenders as on a 1937 Snyder built Zep??

I’m suspicious as I thought the fender brackets should be flat!

I would think flat braces also...

Flat braces & duck tail on both.
