Hi, Graat, Don't mean to change the subject here, but see you have a nice picture of the engine compartment of a1930 Dictator. As I'm restoring one, would it be possible to post more pictures of the engine compartment. Some pictures would be most helpful as I receives lots of parts that weren't assembled. Thanks Virgil

Try these guys,they seem to have a number of stude tailights. I got one from them, a Studebaker type C. It was in real nice restorable shape. Their kind of pricey, but if you need it they have it. Good luck. Virgil Complete Vintage Tail LIght Lenses for cars, trucks and motorcycles

Hi Terry, Thanks for the information. Was leaning toward no lubrication but was just not sure. Thanks again Virgil

The throw out bearing in my 1930 Dictator consists of some type a graphite molding which rides against a disk that operates te clutch. My question, does this require a lubricant or does this go together dry? Anybody have any expreance with this? Thanks for any information. Virgil

My 1930 dictator is missing most of the mounting for attaching a spare tire. It has the wood artillery wheels. Would anyone have a picture of one that they could post, possibly using the picture as a guide for fabricating one. Better yet, if anyone would have one they could spare for sale. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Virgil

Hi Stumax, I have a 1930 Dictator GL with the six cylinder engine. The oil pump on this as well as a spare I have, the housing is cast iron. To make sure, with the gears removed a magnet sticks to them as well as the end plate. The input shaft as well as the housing had some wear. To remedy this, machined the shaft enough so it measured the same throughout, them bored the housing enough to press in a bushing. after that bored the bushing so that the shaft had a good fit. That was the only outstanding problem with the pump. Some pictures here that might be useful. Virgil

The horn looks exactually like the one on my 1930 Studebaker Dictator and measures the same. Sparton model AU, number R81999, made in Jackson Michigan. Pretty sure original horn. Virgil

Hi Jojo, I don't know if the corners are the same or not. These I got from Steve Munts, Spokane Washington. I understand that he is not in business any more. There maybe others out there with them, although I haven't run across any. Virgil

I'm restoring this windshield for my 1930 Dictator. The rubber or weatherstrip was in such bad shape couldn't tell what the original looked like. Would anybody know the shape, size and where it might be purchased? The channel that fits in is aprox 7/32" Thanks Virgil

Pictures didn't attach, trying again.

This is a sleve that was placed on the sunvisor at the factory to explain the operation of the automatic transmission. This is Studebaker, there is no printing date on it. Anybody know years they might have used this. Thanks Virgil
