Claes Rocklin Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The caps are made of aluminium. There are at least three styles that will fit my car. Pressed alumimium, casted aluminium and there is also a version with a riveted faceplate. These caps have an innerdiameter of 71 millimetres from thread to thread.

Claes Rocklin Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Dear Nickel Roadster.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>My 1920 Stephens restoration goes very slowly. Have had a complicated work with the missing sills. Had to figure out what they should look like as they were missing when I brought this car home. The former owner had replaced the sills with a sheet of plywood and planks from the lumberyard and also nailed the front backrest on place. It was very painful to see.<o:p> </o:p>Before I took the body apart I did a very careful examination. Wrote down the existing measurements and used them when I made my first attempt to build up the new framework.<o:p> </o:p>I soon realized they were all wrong. Had to tear down parts of the body and take a break, but finally after a lot of searching I got in touch with a guy in <st1:State><st1:place>Iowa</st1:place></st1:State> who had a similar car, a 1921 model 96 . He provided most of the measurements I needed. Today the wooden framework looks all right and a skilled tinsmith has promised to take look on the body. <o:p> </o:p>Still missing the jumpseats.<o:p></o:p>Best regards Claes<o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
