I am looking for a brass mounting bracket for and early Stewart speedometer and clock arrangement. Either a horizontal or vertical bracket.
Thanks John Kelso

Long time since I heard of Bills, took a V12 Auburn out of there piece by piece. Had to cut the rivets out of the frame and disassemble everything
to get it out. oh, to be young again.

In defense, for the first time in over 50 years I had no parts in my space, my dad took me there the first time in 1956. I think I have a pretty good reason,
77 years old, open heart not long ago, was employed to get two pre 15 cars running for the auction, all my parts are pre 15 as well. I spent some time visiting in
the flea market. And no I did not have a devise to ride on, I walked. Put simply I didn't have the energy to load my truck with parts that 99% of the people
posting here and attending would even know what they were. Sorry to sound like a butt hole.

Any recommendations on who can rebuild the Bosch magneto on my 17 Pierce?
Thanks

I can't help you with this application, all the Locomobiles I've had used two gauges. I think this is quite interesting
and would be interested in it if you were offering it for sale. Please PM me if so.
Thanks

David yes the windshield is also different and is part of the California Top. There are also small upholstered panels on top of the doors with slides for the
the glass panels, all glass except the windshield is beveled.
AJ I completely agree, but that doesn't mean I like it.

I'm glad you guys like the top. It is something I have never liked very much and one of the reasons I'm wanting to sell it.
The top is made by Morgan and was very expensive in 1917, you could have bought a Ford for what the top cost.
Part of me wanted to remove it and reinstall a touring top and windshield, the other part said don't even consider it.
If it had the touring configuration I would not be selling.

There is a difference in the bell housing also. Yes several Auburns have AF engines, both built by lycoming as I recall

Very nice car, appears to be very correct, excellent choice for a fun steamer

I don't recommend Author Gould, they have changed hands. Sent my Pierce pump to them for a new shaft.
Spent nearly $500, part of it shipping, the shaft was not right and they would not stand behind there work. PM me if you have questions

That seems to be a tough item to find, try the Lincoln Owners Society
-
What would it cost to get this Model T to south central Pennsylvania.
-
When I replaced them on my 24 Lincoln I also used new brass nuts.

Wiping Lead
in General Discussion

Having learned the art of lead work many years ago, and on occasion still use it, the repairs you need to do need new metal welded in place. Everything needs to be shiny clean
No matter what method you use the repair is no better than the surface it is applied to.
There is nothing wrong with body putty when used properly
