thecarburetorshop has them kits

There is a inner nut that this one pictured is basically a jam nut 2 nuts per rim. Used on the Buffalo wire rims

Well today I found a box at my door with a wheel nut in it! Thank you goes to Joel Jakel for reaching out to me a month ago to say he had one to sell. Excellent shape! Great threads ! Now to just get it chromed. I believe he collects hubcaps and nuts like these.

I’ve in my engine (1928, 274ci) add about 2-3 thou to make room for expanding metal. So, .010 or ..011 is a good set. Ofcourse check later when hot for .008.

Ok. Lookes close. Maybe someone would need them. One has a split in it. Other looks good

I’m only happy to help out! 🙂

Here is another set for sale

Just saw this on prewarcars. Maybe this might help

I will. I thought it looked like it could happen to work on it without removal but wanted to be sure! Last I ran it in June the antifreeze leaked out. Got busy with other projects and this got on the back burner since I couldn’t drive it.

Thank you Rayburr . I couldn’t find any info to it.

Hi. Can I on my 1928 water pump put in new packing with out removing the water pump? I’m not sure if It’s possible or wise

Happy New Year!

Here is something close. On eBay

I’ll try to link it Larry. Many different sellers have tin caps and has brass caps. Looked it over I don’t see one exactly like the one pictured. More 1920s style. I’ll keep looking though

There is a lot of this style of caps on eBay. One set looked brand new. Good luck hunting.

Hi Bob. Sorry about my absence from here. No presently I’m not doing that as of yet. Car is in storage. Will be working on some water leaks and getting temp gauge to function while water is out of it. I see your emails to me and I’ll be responding to them. Thank you Grant

Now what I’m wondering is has anyone changed over to sealed bearings ? If so, good results? Part numbers?

The grease cap is for squeezing grease into bearing as needed. It doesn’t lock into position, mine don’t. During normal lube times you turn it in as much as needed to put grease in bearing. it’s like the old brass grease cup.

Beautiful Buick. I wish I could buy right now. I do hope it finds a good home

That’s disappointing to hear it runs that much hotter. I liked the idea it’s not water base for the metals.

Bobs sells new gears still I believe

Was a 640j for sale on eBay. I see it sold. I was hoping I got to u in time. Sorry. The seller is Americanvintageparts Keep an eye on him. He seems to come up with stuff like this a lot

Well I went and looked and his eBay page is gone. Sorry I’m no help there. Bobs might have one. I know he has stuff like that for 1929 and newer.

I bought a new casting for a 1928 274ci. I think he was in the state on NY. I’ll try to come up with his business name. He does marine stuff too
