[1927/28 series 128/129 Fast Four frame/chassis]

Hi,

Does anyone have some drawings/measurements and photos of a 1927/1928 Dodge Brothers Series 128/129 chassis/frame?

 

Mine has some front end damage which has been repaired (badly) and I'm trying to figure out how bad it is so I can determine how best to repair.

 

many thanks,

Thanks for the reply.

 

The oil tray on my sump is secured in place with rivets so I don't think there will be a problem getting it back in the correct position if I do remove it ( which I may do anyway just to clean it properly).

 

However, if the galvanising removes the solder the front and rear sections of the sump (crankshaft area) appear to be fabricated seperately and soldered together so presumably they would have been done after galvanising?

 

I wanted to keep it original (just because I'm stubborn).  Has anyone had one galvanized?

 

i could try zinc electroplating (as that would work on the solder and galvanising is zinc anyway) but not sure how it would look.  Could someone share a photo of an original galvanized sump please?

 

thanks!

Hi, 

I'm trying to find what the correct finish should be in a few parts of my 1928 Dodge tourer that I'm mid way through restoring.

 

Does anyone know how the North East generator and starter motor bodies were finished - were they painted (presumably black) or where they played (nickel)?

 

Also, the front housing of the starter, was it just a raw casting or would it have had a finish?

 

Many thanks,

Richard

Has anyone out their had their sump re-galvanized?  I wanted to get mine redone but it looks like their are parts of the sump that are soldered and wasn't sure if they could be replated
