AA Dual Wheel Rear Fenders

[Neil Wilson]

Keith,
On the MAFFI parts data base there is one drawing shown for AA-16308/09 (dated 12/16/31). Short of ordering this drawing from The Benson Research Center, the body types that used this fender is not known for sure. The 12/20/32 list shows BB-16308/09 (1932) for A-229 with dual wheels. So it seems logical that the AA-16308/09 would be for type 229-A for 1931.

Do your later year parts lists show any dual rear fenders for the 229-A service body, 85-B panel delivery, or 290-A standard police patrol?

My thinking is that these three types used the same dual rear fenders.

I am looking forward to the release of the revised Judging Standards for "Heavy Commercial Vehicles". The last set of revisions did not include that section, and although I am by no means an expert on AA's, I have noticed several errors and omissions in that section. For example, I offered to show the people in charge of the Standards the January 1932 AA I had which had cast iron, not steel brake drums, but they didn't seem particularly interested.
Neil, please let us know as soon as it is available.

when I put my service car together I could not find fenders for it . I took a wide fender cut it in half and welded apiece in the middle to go out side my tires not correct but it worked. I lost points on the bracket put not the fenders

[Neil Wilson]

Bud,
Do you know what that AA-16337-BR, 1/4" thick, spacer was? AA-16337-B is shown in the July 1, 1931 parts list.

Neil,

The March 5, 1934 Chassis Parts Book lists the following:

AA-16438-B Fender (rear) assembly
RH-85B, 229A, AA-157-with long running boards except with dual wheels 1930-31

AA-16439-B (same as above, but for LH)

AA-16445-B rear fender bracket 85B, 229A, 290A (2 required per car) This was the only listing that showed anything for a 290A

I was hoping some would know what the spacer was , maybe whoever bought Bill Cilker's 229-A would know I think it had dual wheels

[Neil Wilson]

Thanks Keith for checking. The July 1, 1931 parts list has the same information.

Attached is the status of my research into AA dual wheel rear fenders. I am still missing the part number for the 330-A bus (passenger/school)

Bud, the owner of Bill's service car did not have any spacer with his AA (as I recall). He does have the rear fenders and rear brackets for dual wheels. I sent both Stephen and Richard an email asking them about the spacer. They both have 229-A service cars with dual rear fenders.

Neil,
I found this in the 1928-1938 Canadian parts book.
AA-16314 Fender (when used with dual wheels) R.H. 28-31
AA-16315 Fender (when used with dual wheels) L.H. 28-31
It doesn't say what they fit.

I have a late 31 (March 32 ) mail truck with cast drums but they have 40's date codes on them, do your drums have dates on them??

I received confirmation that the 330-A bus came with body manufacture (Union City) supplied rear fenders. I think someone noted this in one of the posts above.

So, I am now only missing the part id for the 315-A Standrive.
