odyssey Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 1931 SERIES 15 SPRING PIVOT BOLT/BUSHING SETSThese bolts fit the 1931 OPEN EYE spring only, used on many, but not all 1931 Franklins. The OPEN EYE springs are identified by the large diameter (approx 1-7/8") end caps.1931 153 OPEN EYE PIVOT BOLT ASSEMBLY IDENTIFICATIONBolts are made to original specifications (drawing #53051), are case hardened and ground. Solid 660 bronze bushings replace the OEM steel-backed bushings which badly wore the pivot bolt after the bronze liner was worn.$32.95 per bolt/bushing$130.00 set of four (one axle)$250.00 set of eight (complete car)We needed a set and made some extras. With no plans to run them again, if you have these springs, buy now!Tom RasmussenOdyssey Restorations, Inc.8080 Central Ave NESpring Lake Park, MN 55432763-786-1518odyrestorations@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odyssey Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I think we will make them this winter. The 1932 pin is the same as the 1929-1931 except for having a 1/8" longer thread. I should be able to make them for less than the special run of series 153 pins. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odyssey Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Oops - I should amend that. While the 1932 pin will work well on earlier cars, the earlier pin had the thick head and was drilled for grease differently. In the interest of authenticity, I will probably make the correct-style early pin. If you want 1932 and later pins, you should probably make them. Just follow the drawing.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
