Working on my 90 series. This is a photo of the compartment under the seat that would have been used for tool storage, etc. It looks like there was - originally - a lid. Note the tabs that impressed me as low-end hinges. Can anyone confirm there was originally a lid AND if there is a photo - can you supply? Thanks in advance. Tom

Thanks. I appreciate you being a good teacher. tom

I was perusing the master parts list and noticed the 1932 Buicks had a hood rest. On my 29 Chrylser, it has that device - very handy. I realize it wasn't a part for 1931 Buick. can someone send a photo of the rest? just curious. Thanks in advance Tom

While on business, had some extra time and a list of things to examine at library. I was pleased. Matt and Spencer very accommodating. I learned some new things also ( about the car). A very nice resource for the members. Interestingly, there was a PhD candidate there doing research - what was interesting was he is from Germany. The club's asset is international value. Im anxious to read the thesis.

Pull the axles. Measure the locations. Bearings and seals are easy to find. As far as grease, the guidance on the day was probably grease it every 500-1000 miles. So probably there is a lot due to that. the manual likely says the differential uses ‘fluid gear lubricant’ - researching that it was straight 50 weight.

In the movie 'Some Like it Hot', the St Valentine's massacre scene had a Dusenburg that the mob arrived at the garage - I'd take that 'gangster car' any day. Those gangsters had immaculate taste.

Can someone provide the sizes ( ID diameter) and general length of the radiator and water pump hoses? I lost my notes and am at Hershey.

This terrible news was announced on the Glidden Tour. Very sorry for the loss. Condolences to family in their time of unimaginable grief.

Looking for side mount locks for 31 Buick.

Yes, non-pressurized.

The photo is of my 29 Chrysler radiator filler neck. I realize the proper repair is remove the radiator. It appears to be stress related as the fracture surface is fairly classic stress fracture. ( I'm thinking the cap was 'too tight'?). I was planning to take this car on the upcoming Glidden. My question: is there an emergency field repair I can do to last a week or so. I dont have the time to get it ready before it begins. What a bummer. Thanks in advance. Tom

thank you. can you supply a photo of the reveal stripping?

I'll get a photo. It is a rather simple bar that pins the system

That is a pretty car. Is the pin stripping original?

pretty cars

I have a brake adjustment tool for 30-32 Chevrolet. I lost the instructions. I was hoping someone might hav a copy they could share? Filling Station - where I got it from - is closed for the weekend. Tom

Anyone have a picture they can share?

What options is less expensive that can be passed along to customer? each can work equally well. If you ask the plastics supplier - theirs is superior. If paper, theirs - and each group will point to the benefits they offer while explaining the downside their competition is. Bob is correct, neither gets much recycling - the economics drive it.

growing up on a farm, powderpost beetles were always a possible issue. Used 20-mule team borax into a solution. about 2lb/gallon. Amish still use this. Works well. and is cheap. FYI - borax is good for ant control, and most insects - Boron is highly toxic to them

What are the pros and cons between attaching brake linings between these tow methods. Currently, the linings are riveted and I was wondering ( considering) if gluing is and option. Seems that and adhesive strong enough to withstand the shearing force and heat might be troublesome in future. But I dont know. Thanks for input. ( It is a 29 Chrysler)

Thanks all.

I have two small pieces missing on my pinion. 1929 75 Chrysler rear end is unique - I THINK the 72 parts may fit but the 1930 77 - no. since this is a one year only ( near as I can determine) does anyone have a Hollander reference that can tell me what other Marques used that rear? I figure Chrysler sources the rears. Hard to imagine changing casts and re-machining fir a one year run. thanks, Tom

Thank you. I sent a PM.

It was a vacuum wiper. Rather high end. Two ports. The second port was to ‘park’ the blade. don’t have the Trico model number near me.

Mr Leonard, what I understand but have not confirmed with documentation: the weights (balancing) was primarily front wheels only. If car came with dual mounts, one side mount was ‘balanced’. on my 29 Chrysler - an original car - all wheels have weights though. Comments I had been told was front and one side mount was likely the only wheels balanced as road speed was not ‘high’. I’d think that even unbalanced wheels wouldn’t have posed too much issue as period speed was likely 30-40ish mph. Roads then were not what we have today. my 31 Buick 90 series also has this weight feature. those weights are almost unobtanium today and modern lead or ceramics are used. as far as replacing after each tire, in theory - yes. Again, I think balanced wheels ( my opinion only) were uncommon and generally unnecessary. Sustained speeds and improved surfaces likely defined the ‘need’. I wonder what German cars were doing in the 30s on the autobahn?
