As the owner of a Nash product,a 1926 Ajax I joined The Nash (MOL) members on line . For $15 per year you get all the perks. One of our members has for sale hub caps that look like yours. Iam not positively sure. If you type in Nash Club on your browser, when the home page comes up click on to View an add. Scroll down 2 or 3 adds on the left colum to Shane Fishers add and he will direct you to his site. There is no charge to veiw his parts. I hope this helps you in your quest.

Hi Dean The new piece you made was originaly some sort of black bakelite. It had 4 nails molded into it.In order to remove the wood part of the stering wheel from the metal cast hub it is necessary to take this black bakelite ring off and if it is not known that its nailed on, in most cases it comes off in pieces. If perhaps someone else is trying to remove the wood part of the steering on a 28 or 29 Hupp A this may help. And yes like Keiser 31 you are one talented individual. Chuck

Dean as soon as I can figure out to post a pic you will see 2 Hupps and a 1960 Merc Conv that I just sold. Chuck

Dean I winter in Fl so I will not be home in NH before April. I do not have any M,s but one from T or N may work. I can compare it to the A and see if it has a bigger shaft dia.If so I will trace the flutes and send a drawing for you to compare. By this time you may have this problem solved, but if you do not and the arm I have will work I will send it to you free of charge so you can drive a real car. Chuck

Hi Dean Its great to see a Hupp is going to be back on the road. I have 12 Hupps in various stages. I have two in original condition that weather permitting are driven weekly. A 1924 Model R 4-sedan & a1936 8-cyl Model N.The N is 1 of 223 cars produced. In 1936 Hupp car company was in bad position& only produced 21 Ns. Now back to the reason why the email. I see that you are getting ready to put the shaft with the horn button and the light,spark & throttle. The three leavers are made from pot metal and are crap. Most of them are broken off. I hopeyours are Ok.I bought 3 sets for 2 1928,s and 1 1929. I got them from a Hupp Club Member in Tex. The quality sucked. They were chromed nicely but were ground to thin in places. I installed a set in the 1929 very carefully and broke the spark lever. The next attempt was Ok. I have watched your progression with great interest. Our country would be better off if more of us had you enginenewity. Its proberly spelt wrong but I think you know what I mean. Keep up the great work & If you need any information on you Hupp post it and the Hupp Club will get you the answer Hupp 36 Chuck
