Re: Dixie Flyer "Firefly" speedster photographs.

Enjoyed the article about you car in Antique Automobile. Our cars have the same clutch, the Borg & Beck. My car is a 1920 Premier roadster. We are currently restoring it and I was just cleaning the clutch parts yesterday. Check out my pictures in Our Cars & Rest Proj.

Re: Dixie Flyer "Firefly" speedster photographs.

Hello
I have just received a parcel containing 4 Gabriel Snubbers, they look just fine but I still seem to need the brackets that mount them onto the chassis. Even a photo or drawing would help as I am sure that I could fabricate them if only I knew what they look like.

In the meanwhile I have plenty to keep me occupied with the body right now. Sorry but you may have to wait a little longer for photographs.

Red face Re: Dixie Flyer "Firefly" speedster photographs.

OK we all make mistakes. I try very hard not to make expensive ones! Having now fully unpacked the box I find that my "complete set with matching numbers" Is one pair and two odd ones. They appear to be one right hand front and possibly one right hand rear. Perhaps some knowledgeable person can please identify what is what. It is always difficult buying stuff from across the other side of the world.
Can anyone please assist with a copy of a Gabriel Snubber service manual?

Re: Dixie Flyer "Firefly" speedster photographs.

Continuing the Snubber saga I am rapidly becoming the local expert.
So far I have sorted out that the ones numbered 118 and 119 are left and right hand front, that the one numbered 238 is a left rear for cars with 3/4 eleptic rear suspension (like the Dixie Flyer and early Dodge 4s to name a couple.
So what I am now looking for is a right rear, number 239.
Condition really does not matter provided the forging that makes up the mounting bracket and etc is complete and unbroken. I (now) have a spare 119 Right hand front that can become the donor for the tin-ware, mechanism and belt etc.
The big question is "Does anyone have a spare 239 snubber complete or incomplete and in any condition? PLEASE"
Also a copy of a service book could be of assistance.
