Jorge there are companies that will rebuild/restore your amp gauge and probably also make you a new glass for your fuel gauge. Caution if your fuel gauge works be very careful when you remove it. You can google gauge repair and send them photo of your gauges to get an estimate. Tim, good luck and hope you have a great new year!

I appreciate your offer to help but yours looks to be damaged at the bottom of the well and therefore I don't think it will work. Although it appears to look like almost the same motor. I am entertaining the thought of installing an electric motor and a new circuit on my car. It wouldn't be original but at least I could drive it in the rain if I have to.

Looking for a (1) functional wiper motor for my 1933 Rockne. I have two motors that I had sent to Ficken Wiper Service and that fellow told me that they were warped and were unrepairable.

Joe, I did ot get the pm's. You may have my old email which I cannot receive anymore. My new email is thoffs@icloud.com.

If you have one side find a foundry and have the other set cast in bronze. Then metal finish until smooth and make sure fit is good then have them chromed.

How much did he charge for the rebuild of both the carb. and the fuel pump?

I found a Company that reproduced the stainless moldings for the edges of my running boards for my 1933 Studebaker Rockne. The company is Northfield Forming and Machining, there located in Canal Fulton, Ohio (330) 854-6003.

I have one reflector, it is not in the greatest shape. What is it worth to you, I was just keeping it for a spare.

I am interested in finding the production date for my 1933 Studebaker Rockne 4 Dr Sedan Deluxe. Using the Rockne register I think I have narrowed it down to March or April of 1933, but I would like to find the exact date and maybe a order or build sheet. If anyone knows how to track this down please reply or call me 419-334-3172 or email at thoffs@icloud.com.

George, do you have any Rockne parts, looking for a water pump #510230 to rebuild?

Brad, I arc'ed the rear brake shoes today, then I set the eccentrics with a .014" feeler like the book said. The last thing is to set the adjusters so they drag a little then back off one. After all this I took it for a spin and was able to lock the rears up and squeal the tires. Finally success, now it's unto the front.

Brad, I haven't been happy with the brakes since I finished the restoration. It just doesn't stop we'll. When I went through the brakes the pads were good, I just took a block and sanded the shoes to remove any old glaze after setting 41 years. I had all four of the brake drums turned and put all new brake springs on. I adjusted the star adjusters until I had just a little drag on wheels and then backed them off one. The brakes didn't get much better so I started to look at the cables, because when I did the restoration I took everything apart. I am at the point of taking it to Fremont Auto Parts, (which they are very familiar with old cars) maybe they can help me.

Looking for a set of the front brake cables and also a windshield wiper motor for my Rockne. I have two wiper motors, but Ficken Wiper Service said he couldn't rebuild them. My brake cables are stretched so bad that there is no adjustment left on them. Help Please!

Thanks for the reply Brad.

Looking to purchase a matching horn for my 1933 Studebaker Rockne 4 Dr. Sedan Deluxe. I am pretty sure the car was manufactured with two horns since it is a deluxe.

Looking for a source to have my 1933 Rockne wiper motor rebuilt or advise on how to rebuild it myself.

My email is thoffs@woh.rr.com. Thank you!

Yes you are correct; my uncle George is the 2nd one from the left, my Dad is the 3rd one from the left and my uncle Robert is the 4th one from the left. I would be Happy to pay you for a copy of the photo with the printing below, I have a picture but with mo wording. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Gary, I'll give it a try!

Can anyone tell me what the proper lube would be to put in my Delco-Lovejoy Single Acting Hydraulic Shock Absorbers on my 1933 Rockne.

My 1933 Studebaker Rockne 4Dr Sedan Deluxe has the robe rail just like David was inquiring about. Mine does not spring back. I took the hardware off the ends and had them rechromed, then I took color remover from a fabric store and soaked it overnight. It came out very good and matches my new interior.

I am interested in finding an original or a copy of The Studebaker Spotlight dated September 1948 for purchase. The reason I would like one is because my Dad and Uncles are in several pictures in it. There were several articles and pictures about Vic Frederick Motor Sales in Fremont, Ohio. Please contact me either thru the Forum or by email: thoffs@woh.rr.com.

i have a Studebaker Rockne gas tank if your not interested in keeping the car original.
