Claes Rocklin Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) The rear axle is completely worn out and I am looking for the parts mentioned above. There are not many left of these Stephens cars today and this restoration is a challenge. Greetings from Claes in Sweden claesrocklin@gmail.com About the hubTotal length 115 mm, diameter of the plate 192 mm, The diameter of the hub pressed into the centre of the wheel is 58,5 mm. The length is 61 mm.The diameter of the thread for the hubcap is around 73 mm. Maybe it is 2 7/8"-16 Edited December 4, 2015 by Claes Rocklin (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bkazmer Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 was the rear axle perhaps supplied by a component manufacturer? This might broaden the search to other cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viv w Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I suggest you load up some pictures, number of teeth, measurements and any markings. Someone may have an axle lying around and they have no idea what it is. I've never seen a Stephens here in Africa, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one here.Viv.

Claes Rocklin Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 The rear axle is a Timken but the rear axle cover has the logotype Stan Par. Have checked in an old Dykes Encyclopedia and actually found some cars that used Stan Par rear axles. Biddle, Paterson, Premier, Roamer and Sayers Six are completely unknown to me. But there must have been other brands on the market which used a Stan Par rear axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Biddle, Premier and Roamer are all very high end cars that have survived in tiny numbers. Sayers is possibly the company that specialized in ambulances {Sayers Scovile}. Paterson was more middle class, along Buick lines but still quite rare.

Chuck Kuntz Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 A late friend of mine, Len LeCrone had a lot of Stephens parts and a couple of cars. He sold most of the parts to a fellow named Lowell Stephens in Nebraska I think. He may be listed in the AACA.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claes Rocklin Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 was the rear axle perhaps supplied by a component manufacturer? This might broaden the search to other carsAccording the manufacturer the rear axle is a Timken, but the rear axle seems to be built by the subcontractor Standard Parts Company. As far as I know they also produced springs, rims and so on. It seems that they also built the steering gears for the Stephens cars. Yes, other brands like Biddle, Premier and Roamer used this rear axle, but they are rather unknown today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 The Brown- Lipe stamp on the ring gear is interesting. As far as I know they were a rival of Timken. Possibly a replacement gear set from long ago, or possibly they were the builders not Timken. Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good condition but loose rivets indicates that a non professional person has done the job. The pinion is worn.There are identification numbers at the ring gear and the pinion. I am not sure what these numbers stand for. The pinion has 8-37 and the ring gear 38-8. Both are marked 20¤. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
