theKiwi Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Re the Muffler - André Audette posted on Facebook a while ago about the possibility of having some made out of stainless to the original drawings... I don't know how many of us need to want one before it would be feasible to go ahead and have them made, but leave a note there if it's of interest to you (and you have access to Facebook of course) Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 franklin Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I think Jeff Hasslen has the oil pads . Look at the hh Franklin club website under parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjp Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 I am ready to drop the pan and check bearings. Can I screw any thing up as far as the oil pump and or timing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Mereness Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Wise move on taking down oil pan - I scraped a lot of crud out of the bottom of the last 1925 pan I pulled down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in PA Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I have the hubcaps you need. I'll sends yout a message. Definitely contact Jeff Hasslen for the felt oil pads. Good luck with your car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theKiwi Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Yes, Jeff has the felt valve pads - $45 a set - I spoke to him just a couple of days ago about them, amongst other things - like a nice new shiny Vehicle data plate (the plate on the firewall that the serial number is on) - he has them for $50.

rjp Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thank you and I will waiting to hear from you. I did drop the pan and the sludge was bad--but dropped the bearing caps and looks good I will plastic gauge them this next week . I will get the felt pads from Jeff I shall check valves and pistons soon, it does look I need a new timing chain that Jeff said he had. Thanks again and if you think of something else I should do please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hook Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Having a 1930 & 1931 Franklin, I'm not sure what size your Powel muffler is. But, www.restorationstuff.com has new sections for sale. You have to use you existing cast ends and the sections are 6 1/2" in diameter which may or may not work. Just thought I'd share the link just in case.

Bill So if you buy enough of them to make a muffler, is there a plan/diagram that shows which pieces have holes, which don't etc etc Here's the Patent that was awarded for the muffler with some diagrams https://www.google.com/patents/US1735789 And another one https://www.google.com/patents/US1800354 Roger Edited March 12, 2017 by theKiwi (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hook Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Try Franklin DWG number 35563. This drawing gives the detail of how many sections and the configuration of each of the sections. Now I believe the sections sold by restoration stuff are the right size for this drawing. I didn't say they were cheap however. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
