Good morning All The car I obtained was assembled in Aust by a company called T J Richards and they supplied the air cleaner that appears to be type D. Richards put on the car whatever was on the shelf, they assembled nearly all the US vehicles GM, Chrysler, Buick, Studebaker. until GM bought them so I have gone with what was supplied. Thanks for the assistance, I very sure i will be back .

Would someone please photograph the decal on the Air Cleaner so I may reproduce either attach here or forward to rod.phil@bigpond.net.au Thanks in advance

Greetings from the other side of the Planet, Perth West Australia to be exact. I have 3C which I obtained from Ballarat in Victoria. Would someone be able to post a photo of the text that goes on the air cleaner as I would like to get it replaced. Rod

Thanks Tom , I will email. Regards. Rod

One more question, would anybody know where the key number would be located. Its not on the front of the lock and the casing only has the part number showing Rod

Thanks for the suggestions, To compound the problem I do not have the key so I cannot line up the tumblers inside the barrel. I don't particularly want to drill it out so I was hoping that there may have been a easy solution. The attached is how I obtained the car. Rod

I need to replace the wiring to the rear of the ignition lock. By depressing the pin the the access hole in the side of the outer casing I have been able to remove the locking ring, but the key barrel does not wish to come out. Does anyone know the trick to get it out so that I can get to the wire connection ? Thanks Rod

Thanks guys, will follow up as soon as I am back in town. Regards Rod

I have a 37 President that has a hole in each door that was for the 1/4 window , however I have no information as to the configuration of the window . The car when I obtained it had had them removed . I would appreciate assistance in obtaining a set or at least a picture of them I have attached 2 pictures, the first being of the car when I obtained it and the second is of a door showing the holes thanks Rod

There is a steel core bush that runs thru the rubber parts that is not shown, what I am trying to ascertain is where on the bolt goes the 3 washers. 2 of the washers have the centre hole diameter that permits it only to go on the bolt not where the steel core bush fits but what goes where. The washer with the large diameter hole either fits above or below the cross member, but I am not sure which ?

Attached is a photo of what I believe are the component parts for a 37 President rear engine mounting, There are 3 washers in the centre and I don't know exactly where they fit on the bolt or their position in relation to the cross member. Could somebody please advise, thank you, Rod

Unfortunately the car came in parts and quite a few were missing, I am trying to find out if the 36 -37 are possibably interchangeable. I have to find out first and get back to you. I appreciate your help

I am seeking a clutch housing shield and pan for a 37 President 3C. It comes in 2 parts and is shown on the attached as E5-4 (Part number 188674 for the shield ) and E5-5 ( Part number 189535 for the pan) Any assistance as to where to enquire would help 37 Pres, Pan,lower clutch housing0001.pdf

Would you have any 37 President 3C parts, in particular a water pump or kit. part number 184113 I am also chasing a clutch housing shield part numbers 188674 & 189535. Regards Rod 37 Pres, Pan,lower clutch housing0001.pdf

Would anyone have a 37 President water pump kit for sale or could direct me to hwhere I might obtain one ? regards Rod

Don Would you please send to me your email address as I cannot get to you on the Bresdan host rod.phil@bigpond.net.au

I do appreciate the assistance, I have been contacting all my sources here in Aust but at this time nothing. I know that the joint was used on other makes but the interchange manual I have does not give any joy. I have had to resort to taking the X section to the local vintage car club and hunted thru dozens of yokes to see if I could get a match , but to no avail. If you find the part that would be terrific. Please let me know Regards

Hi rbk, sorry I have not got back to you sooner, I have taken a break from work and took my wife to Bali ( only 3 hrs flight from Perth) Thought it might be good idea before I pay for the spraypainting. The unijoint I have is the sliding spline with X shape bearing. Regards

I have the G1 shaft that joins to the diff so I can get the spline, I have ordered a copy of the interchange manual and hope to get a possible replacemant that way, I case I can't get a part I shall obtain a u joint and match a yoke, then I should be able to machine a female spline off the long shaft. I know it is a bit of a perfomance but it is nothing like the performance I did in the parts shop. If I can get a interchange part number would you assist me with possible people who may have one. I do thank you for your help... Regards Rod

I am seeking a universal slip joint with the yoke. It is the universal joint at the rear of the overdrive and takes the propeller shaft from the diff. The part number is G2 all bits as shown in the President 8 " Catalog of Chassis Parts" I need the primarily the bits numbered 2,3,4,5,6. I know you have all heard this before but I LEFT it with a parts shop so they could match the fitting of the universal exactly and they promptly lost it . (@#$%) This part, I understand is used on other Stude vehicles but I don't have the interchange manual. So much fun !!

Don. I don't know if this would be any help but , wheel pullers were not readily avialable when I needed to remove a hub from an 1928 Plymouth ( a car from the dark side ) so all I did was loosen the nut back about 3 turns and drove the car around the paddock and checked it about every 50 metres or so. Took some 15 minutes but the wheel came loose. This type of wheel was fitted with a keyway and a fine thread that held the axle into the housing. I am not a big fan of hammers and old iron. Another way maybe is to cut a small tin can into the shape that will fit as a cup into which you can pour some penetrene or simmular and leave for a couple of days siliconed onto the stub, then take if off and apply heat so that the lubricant when reapplied soaks into the stub further and so on, THEN apply the wheel puller if you have one, So much fun should be enjoyed with a couple of beers an a milk crate to sit on.

G'day George There is another part I am chasing if it is ok, the spacer between the glass in the front windscreen. Regards Rod Phillips rod.phil@bigpond.net.au

I am in need of a couple of parts. The rear bumper with the 2 overiders. However I live in Perth West Aust ( the other side of the planet). Big ask I know. ever if I could get the overiders I would appreciate the help. Regards Rod Phillips rod.phil@bigpond.net.au

Would you happen to have a regulator. plus an inside door handle (not the window handle) Regards Rod

I am definately interested in the tail light, how much do you want for it ? Would you include the mounting bracket also. I am also in need of the moulded sections that seperate the two sides of the front windscreen. Regards
