These are original latches on a 1911 Brush.

Hi All, I’m after Brush hood latches, can anybody help with these please. Rob

After a couple years this is where I’m up to with my model F. Just waiting on the radiator which is having a new core fitted and the transmission which has been a big job to rebuild. Once the radiator is fitted its off to have the hood and mudguards made and upholstery after the Christmas break. Hopefully all done and dusted by mid 2023. Rob

Hi, Yes please that would be great. Photos if possible . Regards Rob

Yes thanks for the response. I sent my expression of interest to them but haven’t heard anymore about it. Rob

Most of my Brush B type transmission is restored but I’m missing these parts . Can anybody help with either useable parts or ones that can be used to copy from. This is both the Bush and the Cog that is on the shaft ( part 382). See photo of parts book. Rob

Hi , what the model radiator you have on the wall? Rob

Does anybody have a latter Brush radiator available. The Brush I’m restoring is late 1911 so a steel radiator shell would suit .

Hi , is this still available and if so can you give me the length of the shaft and the appropriate diameter of the friction wheel please. Where are you? Rob

Yes , thanks for the information. Rob

Yes will do . Thanks Rob

Hi Bob, Once I have , as much as possible verify it’s a special / cycle car I will restore it . If it proves be something else then I’ll follow that . It’s history point to a cycle car built in 1913 by a motor engineer in Charters Towers Qld Aus. One of the documents around this car is by the fellow who found it in 57 . His story around the car is that Ross Husband who is thought to have built the car, he certainly owned , bought it of a Water Borer prior. He also states that it was one of 7 brought into Australia from the USA. There is first hand evidence locating the car in Charters Towers pre WW1 and it was also found just outside Charters Towers in 57. Both the widow of Ross , his son and an old resident of the town supported its early history. The Northern Miner news paper in the 70s did an article and brought a 3 page letter in response. He states he knew of the car when used around town by Husband and clearly described the friction drive of the car. Anyhow I’ll keep enquiring about the “Husband “ as it has been referred to since the 70s. I’ve got a Brush to finish ,then I’ll get into the job of restoring this little car. Should be a fun car to own. Rob

This car had known history back to around 1913. It has well made chassis with a Holsman Motor Buggy motor 1908/09. Can anybody put or suggest a maker?

Can anybody put a name to this chassis . Known history back around the start of WW1. Has a well made chassis with a 1908/09 Holsman motor buggy motor. Wire wheels which have been rebuilt were on the car when found in 1957. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Chassis has known history back to 1913/14. It has a well made chassis with a Holsman motor buggy motor 1908/09. Wire wheels have been rebuilt but original when found. Can anybody put a name to it?

Hi All, Looking for the selector with blue arrows marked R. Also a gear lever quadrant for a BC transmission. Is the part (circled in yellow ) for a support bracket to the underside of the body, a precursor to the system in the latter models? If not what’s it for ? Any help in this regard would be appreciated. Regards Rob.

Hi , Thanks for replying. Yes that’s helpful and yes send me the numbers please. Regards Rob.

Hi All, I don’t have Brush hubs so I’m using latter T Fords front hubs . Has anybody else done this ? If you have can you tell me the size of the Timken bearings you used to fit the Brush axles. Any other advice around this would be greatly appreciated. Regards Rob

Hi Bob is this still available? Rob B

Hi Robert, I’ve been emailing you but somehow their vanishing into the ether. Transmission arrived all good thanks to your careful packing . It ended up on the slow boat from LA to Brisbane. I’ll phone you. Regards Rob

Fantastic idea especially as I’m well into restoring a Brush at the moment. Thanks.

Thanks John, yes will do have a great Christmas. Regards Rob

Hi John, Thanks for emailing me. Yes I am . Do you know wether it’s the T Ford shape or the Mercedes shape ? Rob
