[CHRYSLER 72 BRAKE PIPE]

12 hours ago, viv w said:

Based on both my series G70 and my series 62 I'm pretty sure your model 72 will be the same. Pipe from the reservoir to master cyl will be 5/16. The pipes from the master cylinder to the T piece on the frame x member and from that T to the 2 T pieces on the side frame rails is 3/8 and the ones from the side rail t pieces to front and rear are 5/16.

Just checked my brake pipes on my 72 and you are correct 3/8 and 5/16 .

the pipe and fittings were missing from reservoir. when i got my car so dont know pipe size i suspect it was 5/16

anyway cant locate any fittings for 5/16 here in uk so as per GUNSMOKES advice will go with 1/4 pipe

[CHRYSLER 72 BRAKE PIPE]

thank you GUNSMOKE for your reply

the fitting size at the master cylinder and the reservoir is 7/16 unf 20 tpi

the only fittings i can get are for 1/4 pipe i thought it would have to be larger

because the feed pipes from master cylinder to brakes is 3/8  anyway i will use 1/4 pipe 

[CHRYSLER 72 BRAKE PIPE]

Does anybody know the size of the brake pipe that comes from the firewall mounted reservoir to the master cylinder

on a 1928 Chrysler 72 it was missing when i got the car

but i no longer need it . i have just come back from the auction 

and found the condition of the car not good  paint work cracking badly and interior moth and mice damage

it is a shame that such a lovely car has just been left to fall into disrepair after such a nice restoration

Any way thank you once again for you help

Can you explain what an AAC Gold award is?   Cannot find anything automotive related on Google.  By chance could it be a AACA National First Prize Award.  If it is, there should be a number on the badge and I can tell you a lot more about the car.

AACA national first W21345 in 2008

AACA  april 2010 charlotte meet first preservation trophy

AACA FEB 2012 21345  class26a

THE auction information said AACA GOLD AWARD this was a mistake by them

[1928 Chrysler Model 72 Roadster Exhaust System Dimensions]

On 5/23/2023 at 10:01 PM, viv w said:

Sorry I can't help with pictures or measurements as both my cars are right hand drive and even the exhaust manifolds are different. Yes the RHD manifolds are not the same as a LHD car, because they need to clear the steering column. 

 This is something guys probably do not know, one of my friends imported a Model T Ford exhaust and was complaining that it would not fit for the same reason, so if you have a right hand drive car be aware that the exhausts from USA most likely will not fit.

I have a 1928 Chrysler 72 conv coupe right hand drive rear section of exhaust is missing does anybody have dimensions

Can anybody provide a link to a cross reference guide pleas.

Nope, the Cathedral style of radio came out in 1930. So no way can that be considered a typical 1920s radio setup. one

If anybody has a picture of a late 1920 one please post it I would love to see one

cant believe the size of that one or the cost

I have never seen any reference to Chevy and early radios. A portable set in 1922 would have cost twenty times the cost of the car. I am aware of a Springfield Rolls Ghost with a set in 1922 and the cost of the unit was said to be two grand plus. And it was enormous. Duesenberg had them installed in late 1928 for the Model J’s. Very few were sold. It was a Philco unit. 

After searching google it states chevrolet installed a westinghouse radio in 1922

which as you point out was very bulky and very expensive

 

[car radio - invented by chevrolet in 1920?]

It was a surprised { to me at least }to read an article in a uk national newspaper

that car radios were invented by chevrolet in 1920

cant imagine my chrysler 72 with a radio

does anyone have a 1920s car with a factory radio fitted

 

[late 1920 s car colors]

what two tone colors would be standard on a 1928 chrysler 72

also where would the jacking points be on a model 72

If anyone has a picture of the jack could you post on here

Check the break fluid can . Take the part off that holds the pump lever and un screw it. Arethere 2 washers at the bottom with a cotter pin on either end. The Re should be a leather ŵashèr in between the washers. It is about 1/8th inch thick  and needs to fit snug but be able to mome to build up pressure. 

You need to pump your breaks every few weeks.

Any Idea of the diameter leather washer looking to reseal my 1928 model 72
