Shrink Tubing 5 1/16 Teflon Washers These work effectively to hold Bug Screen in place

The Trico No; is SK-27 and is located on the front plate that is held on by two (2) screws. The ID no may have rubbed off by now though.

Thanks Chris for your response I will only use an original speaker as Im not sure of the sound quality with a modern speaker (they had a power source included with the speaker) ...I have an original speaker grill to mount the speaker , an original radio that has been restored and radio head that is complete with faceplate. Only item I am missing is the speaker. I have two other radio heads that are not complete ie dont have all the knobs bot have all the cables. Let me know if you interested in a head and I will send you some photos Regards Frank

Chris ...I may have a spare radio head for your radio installation ...Im looking for a speaker for the 1937 radio would you have one to trade or sell Regards Frank

I have rebuilt my shock absorbers on 37 Studebaker Dictator 2 times in the 47 years i have owned it ...I did not need to change seals only ad the correct amount of motorcycle shock oil. after draining the fluid I added : Front Shocks 6-1/4 oz Rear Shocks 6-1/2 oz According to the table on page 84 in the Shop Manual. Hopes this helps Frank

Larry, Ok I will be pleased to help you...do you want just the leather seal replaced or do you want the wiring done as well. All I need is the motor end and the light bulb receptacle I can send the components to wire the light in the lantern ....let me know what you would like done. Regards Frank

Den I tried to send an email to you but it was blocked by the forum. I found the clock wire harness ...It matches the wire diagram I sent to you ( wire colour ) It is NOS and will fit your car . I have not been able to locate an original Light Bulb socket but will continue to look ...the parts to rewire the socket are included. Let me get back to you I have other boxes of original part to check ...I did a frame up restoration on my care 40 years ago and have not needed any parts in a while. Regards Frank

Ellagee I am restoring 3 Wig Wag Tailights right now that will require me to replace the leather vacuum seals... I want remail close to the original way they came from the manufacturer. I have converted the original vacuum control to a small 6V switch that is placed at the rear of the car It has successfully run a single Wig Wag Tail Light ...(I believe it will handle up to 2 lights). If you are interested I will need about 2 weeks to complete the work on my lights and I will then be in a position to assist you with parts and service if you would like.....let me know if you are interested. Regards Frank

Dennis Im looking for the harness I know I have it ....I have checked fore the 36 wiring diagram and it doesnt show it so I have include the 37 Dictator wiring diagram that shows the clock in the circuit. Im pretty sure the would have been the same. I will get back to with regard to the price when I have the harness in hand Regards Frank

Dennis ...I have a 37 Dictator with a clock and i believe I have a spare wiring harness for it . It has 2 connections for the clock and a third wire for a light . the light was on a gravity switch so the light would come on when the glove box door was opened. It could be wired to a socket so the light comes on with the instrument lights. Let me know if your interested. Regards Frank

8-1/4 inches is the correct length for the 37

Nate To my knowledge the fender lights were used as running lights, they had the equivalent of flashlight bulbs in them from Studebaker so the lights would glow at night. I believe they were connected to the headlight circuit and not the parking light circuit. Regards Frank

Nate : I have a 37 Dictator 6A that I installed the accessory parking lights on. I installed a separate harness to use them as turn signals. You can use a 2 to 1 bullet connector and tie them to your low beam headlight circuit so they will come on when you put your headlights on. If you use the parking light circuit the light will go out as the switch advances to the headlight circuit. Lark Works should be able to supply the connectors if not try Rhode Island Wiring. Regards Frank

Don I also just restored a Pines Winterfront for my 37 Dictator ..If you have some decals made pls keep me on a list to sell 2 to. Regards Frank
