I am restoring 1914 Trumbull with friction drive. The leather on the drive wheel is quite weathered. Will neatsfoot oil make it too slippery? If I replace it, should I use leather, Kevlar or something else? I am open to any suggestions from all the friction drive folks.
I don't have any experience with friction drive, but in cone clutches Kevlar is grabby if it gets the slightest amount of dirt/oil on it.
There was an earlier question in this group about 8 weeks ago (I think) regarding the value of a CarterCar. Joe Goss runs the Cartercar registry, and knows LOTS about friction drive, material, etc., since he and other tour regularly in their vehicles. I can't find his response/email right now, but you might try reviewing the old messages. Good luck. - Fred
Found it in the HCFI group.<P>Joe's address is: Joe Goss gossjh@home.com
Just an email address update. for Joe Goss<BR><gossjh@insightbb.com> gossjh@insightbb.com
