BTW, the only Dodge and Evans bike I know of is at Meadow Brook Hall.
From memory there is one at the old Ford Piquet Plant Seen it when we toured the place in 2014 Dodge Brothers Centennial Rally

I can't understand why people move the battery up into the engine bay The bulkhead was never designed to have that sort of weight hanging off it like that The rest of the car is cobbled up out of goodness knows what Will we call it Dord or a Fodge

Harry I found years ago what I thought was an original 160 deg F thermostat Turned out to be to small It needed another half inch diameter on the flange I cut a .8 mm brass plate the same shape as the thermostat housing flange. cut a hole in the center of it to fit the thermostat the soldered them together The only thing is you have to use 2 gaskets one below the flange and one above

Haha maybe a bit longer. Yeah it’s a solid old bumper for sure. It was made as a tow bar.
Matt You could stand 3 more passengers on that as long as the top was down so they had something to hang on to

Sorry guys, I'm not good with cars by memory.
It's labeled 1927 and plate verifies this.Guessing this to be a 1928 New Victory Six model?
Beautiful Coupe
It is a 2249 Senior 6 It may have been made in 27 but they were classed as 28 models It is a Cabriolet with wire wheels optioned

If anyone knows John Young of Australia, please let him know about this, he was looking for the info a while back.
I posted it on the DBC member discussion section after you log in but he's not seen it.
Thought I'd share it here for others in case someone else wants/needs it.
John has sold his Victory 6 Sedan It is still in Western Australia

I am trying to find modern seals for my gearbox. Does anyone have a crossreference number for them?
Thanks
IF YOU TAKE YOUR ORIGINAL SEAL TO A SUPPLIER THEY CAN USUALLY MATCH THEM
