  1. Dr. Don, Can you please post a picture? I have 6 or 7 original screens, but want to see the attachment closer. Also, I got your window template. Thank you. Nate
  2. How many would you like? I have probably 1/2 a dozen. I don’t know if they are repros or NOS. I don’t have any of the attaching hardware, but I’d love to know how they were attached. We acquired these from Jerry Kurtz’s collection. Nate
  3. Hi all, I am working on my 1937 Studebaker Dictator sedan. I’m looking for the springs that keep tension on the front vent windows. The original springs fell to pieces when i took the windows apart for new glass. Not sure if other cars used similar springs. They are 1/2 inch long with 1/2 inch outer diameter and 1/4 inch inner diameter. I did purchase some die springs from McMaster Carr to try, but would like originals if I could find them. They have more tension than the McMaster carr springs do. Thanks for looking. Nate
  4. John, I didn’t reach out to any of them yet, but that was my concern. What a pain. Rex, thank you. I’ll check into McMaster. Tom, that is how mine looked after unbolting them. Is it possible to have a machinist make them? nate
  5. Hi all, I’m working on my vent windows on my Dictator. The springs for the vent windows were so brittle, they just fell apart. Does anybody have any springs? They are part number 266130. They measure 1/2 inch OD, 1/2 inch long, and 1/4 inch ID (roughly). They were used on cars from 1937 to 1946. Please let me know if you have any or have any leads. Thank you. Nate
  6. There’s a little restaurant in Lancaster called The Pretzel Hut, that sells Moxie. It is an acquired taste but I love it with a good soft pretzel!
  7. I’m looking for a NOS coil for my 1937 Studebaker dictator. Also, most anything studebaker is on my list! Nate
  8. I sent mine to a gentleman and lady on the west coast. I searched the forums here to find the name. I think it was Clean Sweep on the west coast. Kent was the gentleman’s name.
  9. Hi guys, I wanted to follow up on my rear wheel seals. I ended up making my own seals using the cutter Gary recommended. I found 3/8 inch Nitrile cork from a supply company in Ohio. Using measurements I found from a wheel bearing and seal supplier plus the original NOS seals I had, I cut the seals to the correct inner and outer diameters. I then sanded the seals down to the correct 5/16 thickness. This worked well and will last a long time.
  10. Hi Guys, Ok, so I removed the axles from the car. Before removing them, I measured the end play. I had 0.013 inch end play - too much. The bearings were worn, so I will be replacing them. When I did my front bearings, I used Sta-lube’s heavy duty drum brake grease. It is the thick, yellow, stringy grease that packs well. Is this what I should use in the rear as well? My only reason for asking is that the 37s have grease zerks for greasing the bearings. The Sta-lube wheel bearing grease is not the kind you can pump into a zerk. It is much thicker. Also, what gear oil weight should I use? I read that GL-4 hypoid is recommended but what weight? Thanks guys. Nate
  11. Thanks Gary. I appreciate the torque value! I’ll write that down for future reference. I think I will make a second one if I can’t reuse one I currently have. I have found 2 NOS inner seals, so that’s a plus! Thanks again. nate
  12. Hi guys, While replacing my rear brake shoes, I decided to pull the axles and check the outer wheel bearings. I’m thinking I should replace the cork seals. I found 2 of the inner seals on eBay, but only one outer seal. Part number 510735. Does anybody have one or two available? Also, what is the torque spec for the large axle nut? The service manual just says to tighten it. I’d like to torque it appropriately. Thank you, Nate
  13. We have a number of straight 8 blocks available in our parts inventory right now. I don’t know much about the condition, but they are saved. I’ve toyed with the idea of rebuilding one just to have it around. Nate
  14. I was looking at that. It looks like the tool is for new drums/shoes. I’m trying to find one to buy so I can use it in the future, so maybe I can study the instructions and see if there is adjustments for drums that are turned.
