With some of the problems that I have found, it is a wonder that it stayed together last year! The threads were almost non-existant on one of the tierod ends. $\:o$ I have made a new one and also new tierod pins and bushings. Also, will re-bearing the front end with tapered roller bearings. It really pays to go though things just to be as sure as you can that it is safe and enjoyable. Dave! _________________________ Most of my money I spent on Tools, Mechanical things, and Girls.

I purchased these Silvertown Cords in March 2007. Check your tires for cracks with the serial number ending in 99 if you own Silvertown Cord Tires. Jeff Kearney BCA #39981 1926 20 1922 6 49 1918 E45

Matt Harwood Matt Harwood Member Registered: 10/09/01 Posts: 1616 Loc: Cleveland, OH	Originally Posted By: 1922 Buick 22-6-49 Would you believe these tires only have five (5) miles on them. I purchased these Silvertown Cords in March 2007. Wow, 1 year and 5 miles and they look like that? I'd be hopping mad and making some calls, that's for sure. They look like they dried out and rotted. I've got a spare set of wheels/tires sitting around from when I used to race. They have a lot of race miles on them, but they still hold air and aren't cracked. Not that I would drive on them, but they're 13 years old with 5000 brutal miles on them, have been sitting in the hot/freezing attic for a decade and they don't look nearly that bad. Where did you buy them? Perhaps they'll make it good. _________________________ Matt Harwood (BCA #38767) 1941 Century Sedanette If you have a 1941-42 Buick with dual carbs, please visit: The Dual-Carb Registry

Coker Tire Co. will replace them but the catch is they charge you the difference from the date of purchase to todays current price. I now of seven (7) Whitewalls and two (2) Black tires being returned to Coker as of today in the same condition. Coker will waive the current price difference if you push the issue, I just straightened that out. Jeff Kearney Bca#39981 1926 20 1922 6 49 1918 E45
