If the vehicle has its body tag it will state which factory produced it. Also the serial number will tell which factory it came from. A serial number starting with a C- is Oakland, CA, a L- Lansing, E- Elizabeth, NJ, a T- Toronto Canada. The Canadian factory also used a lot of Robertson fasteners (square driven screws, as these are a Canadian invention). The motor tag will sometimes specify the factory the motor was shipped to.

Just a heads up. I have a 1930 Durant 6-17 with the 15U motor. This car uses the Stromberg U-2 carb and also has the Kingston Vacuum tank. The Kingston unit is not a sealed unit and in 1930 the Durant 6-14 came with an AC fuel pump. Durants no longer used the vacuum tank after 1930.

Would anyone have a picture as to how the hood doors operate? What the spring looks like? Bob, flintauto@gmail.com

The Durant 6-17 is still in need of pin striping and a trunk but has a new home in Arizona.

Did you ever find a flywheel? Bob flintauto@gmail.com

Jim I think you are leaving too much information out. One would have to know you, what you plan on doing with the car (is it going to be in the family for years)? Is it a fairly common auto? Whats involved in doing it right and how big a can of worms are opened? Is it an issue that has to be addressed now or can it wait and be addressed without having everything being done now wasted? Is it going to nag you later, because it sounds like now is the best time? You'll forget about the $$$ sooner than the imperfection. Bob

Would you have any headlight parts? Lens, buckets...
