aunty norm Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Thanks for the chart, it was interesting to see that alot of vehicles used the same filter cartridge around 1927 But is the metal work and fittings the same? Maybe someone might have a photo Just have to wait and see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aunty norm Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Please find attached a photo of what I have up to date, need the oil line coupling. Also did not have any luck with Jay re: the top brackets. So I will continue to search! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 A machine shop should be able to make the part that was pot metal. If you have some made there will be others that will want them, me included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Here is a thread you should read. Start around post 112 or so and go either way. good sg filter photos as well as converting to model spin on inside the canister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aunty norm Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Things are far from what you think! I thought that the the hood brackets would be the far easier parts to find. But I was wrong! They appear to be not available. Someone must have them hidden away in their shed! Not willing to past on to another restorer. So I will have to try something else. Many, many thanks to all that have tried to help!!!!!!! Edited April 23, 2018 by aunty norm (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aunty norm Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Have found a filter and purchased it from a fellow member. It was one item that I thought I would never find! Still looking for the brackets! If anyyone can help with any information and measurement that would be a great help as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viv w Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Aunty Norm, You need to be asking for "TOP IRON SUPPORT BRACKETS". I'm also from a british colony where the folding roof is a HOOD but in the states they call it a TOP. You even had me confused ☺️. Also try DFE customs and restorations in Australia, they bought out Australian hood irons and manufacture all that sort of stuff. Aussie tel No. 0427 961 198 Best wishes Viv.

aunty norm Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 Thanks Viv I was not sure what to call them as I have them called many names. But your description sure sounds correct! I will give DFE a ring on Monday and see if they are able to help me. Plus I my try the forum again with the correct description and maybe have better luck.

Spinneyhill Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 They don't look especially hard to make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aunty norm Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 They might be easier to make if I had a sample or a few measurements. Plus, l am not that great in making thing like that, I just don't have the skills! I was hoping for the easy way out! But that is not happening.

pre1939chrysler Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Thanks Keiser for the endorsement. Actually I have had both the round and square can fittings made. They require some machining. We are having trouble getting the ball bearing to fit in. But the filters are very low efficiency they can be used for show. 610-863-6955 or astheime@ptd.net Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
