[Stationary Control Bracket Help Please]

Thanks for that.

 

Ours is stuck together with araldite, several times. Problem is the clamp in the centre is not strong enough and spins on the tube. Also the key on the inside of the bracket has worn away.

[Stationary Control Bracket Help Please]

Hi all,

 

The stationary control bracket on our 1928 Buick Std 6 is shot, and we are looking for a way to replace it.

 

But we think there might be something missing that stops the levers moving too far. Our levers move 90 degrees on the steering wheel, but the gears on the bottom of the tubes should only move thru 45 degrees. Any ideas please?

 

Our bracket does not look like the picture in the 1928 parts list. 257269. Were RHD cars different or is ours the earlier pattern?

[1928 Rim Bolts]

Hi, is anyone making new wheel rim bolts for 1928 wooden wheels, or has anyone got 10 or so in good condition please?

[1928 Steering wheel bracket]

Hi all

 

The stationary control bracket 257269 in the centre of our 1928 Std 6 steering wheel has fallen apart again. It is now in 10 pieces. Has anyone got a good second hand one or a solution to this problem please?

[Rear Axle Oil Leak]

Hi

 

on our 1928 Buick 114" we have oil leaking along the rear axle main shaft. It overflows though the grease drip and is getting into the hub cap, but not into the brakes. The leak is on the left side only.

 

I cannot see a felt seal or anything similar in the parts list.

 

Has anyone else had this problem please?

[1928 Buick Pick Up Truck back on the road]

Thanks for your comments everyone. Just been out driving, and it makes you smile all the way

[1928 Buick Pick Up Truck back on the road]

It has been a long but very enjoyable re-build, and all worth it yesterday when we drove the Buick on the road for the first time since 1955, or 1935 depending how you define 'on the road'. It spent 20 years from 1935 towing a gang mower on a golf course. https://1928buick.wordpress.com/00-latest-update-november-2016-on-the-road/

 

Many thanks for all your help and advice on this forum.

[1928 Strut Rod Bolts Help Please]

As I look at the photo I am wondering if that is the frame or the rear end torque tube that the bracket is bolted to.  If it is the torque tube then bolts make more sense , it would be very difficult to "set" rivets on a long tube.  I don't have any Buick rear end's handy to look at first hand..

Hi Greg

 

I was wondering how the rivets were fitted in the centre of the torque tube. I think we might have identified the missing bolt size, but it is not easy to buy imperial British sizes locally anymore. Progress?

Remove the third bolt and measure it.

Hi

 

the third bolt is a different size. We now think that the 2 missing bolt holes have been drilled & tapped oversize, and it looks like 1/2" x 16tpi, a British BSF size. I have ordered 2 bolts to try.

Unfortunately the 2 bolts that are fitted appear to be smaller than the 2 that are missing.

[1928 Strut Rod Bolts Help Please]

Hi Greg, that is what I was thinking also.

[1928 Strut Rod Bolts Help Please]

Hi, 2 bolts are missing from my 1928 Std 6 Strut Rod Front Bracket. I can't find them in the parts list.

 

Can someone tell me what size they are please?

[1928 Buick Pickup Truck]

Hi all

we are getting to think about building a body on my Buick.

http://1928buick.wordpress.com/00-march-14-body-building/

One think I am not sure about is what clearance to allow under the rear fenders for movement of the rear axle?

I am guessing at 5 inches? Any ideas please?

[1928 Buick comes alive]

Am I missing something, Is this engine actually running, or just being cranked over, I cant believe it would run that slowly from a cold start, A great milestone anyway, well done,

Hi Phil

there are 2 videos on the page, are you looking at the second one?

Thanks for all the messages. It is great to be able to share my enthusiasm with others.

Dave, yes several pints or 'Wadsworth's Swordfish' bitter.

I have the original Marvel carb, but it needs work. I will see how it runs on the SU carb, and maybe change back later.
