Regarding 3D metal printing, probably too expensive compared to if you can still get something made, but if not? This company in Australia is more about promoting and selling the technology, rather than making stuff for individuals, but believe they can connect you with their equipment users for retail near you. Two websites if anyone interested. But at the moment, limited to making A wider range of metal powders can be used in automated CSAM than in traditional processes, enabling you to produce a more diverse range of metal parts and tools. Currently, parts can be manufactured with aluminium, copper, stainless steel, aluminium bronze, and other alloys. https://www.spee3d.com/technology/#how-it-works https://www.spee3d.com/australian-army-push-metal-3d-printing-to-extremes-in-latest-field-trial/

Thanks Mercman. It was a fair while ago, and I don't have any pics or other details. Rod. Thanks for brochure pics and explanations.

A friend had a 1970's Australian ? RHD Galaxy convertible. That was a fun car.

According to Master interchangeable parts service Vol 1, 1925-1930, if I am reading it right, section DF has other models that used same spider gear. Not that this usually helps much, as most are rare as hens teeth.

And now all those folks with a spare Model T rolling chassis lying around are thinking? Yeah. Why not.

In Australia, I only buy genuine DeWalt batteries when special discounted offers with tools if possible. Haven't tried aftermarket, too hard to decided good and bad as all look 'real.' If you are using different brands of cordless, many slip on adapters available to ie run Makita on DeWalt batteries. So you can run everything on one battery type. Converted a B&D pole trimmer, (14.4 volt) to DeWalt 18 v battery and runs well. Dewalt are supposed to be stopping manufacture 18v (as marketed in Australia) / 20v range this year or next, to concentrate of 54v (marketed in Australia) / 60 volt flexi volt, but too late for me to start again and no longer working as much. But maybe the state of the economy might postpone this? No doubt batteries will be available for many years to come, can only suggest try one recommended, if good buy more ASAP before different batch/ manufacturer. I only use 4 or 5 Amp/ hr batteries, and used on angle grinders/ drills/ saws/ blowers/ and line trimmer, (which is underpowered compared to fuel options, but serves a purpose.) Portable fan is only 2 amp hr battery I have , and lasts well, or just use 5 amp hr. PS. Although DeWalt promote use of the flexi 60v battery in 20v tools for better performance/ longer usage, a few on the internet point out magic smoke experiences. Never tried myself.

Thank you very much Cutlasguy for this in-depth tour. Coming from Australia, so much there is rare or unseen. But interesting to see the influences on our once booming home grown auto industries, sadly all gone now. Loved this pic. Memories, or dreams?

Hi JM, welcome to forum. Pictures speak a thousand words and are much appreciated. Depending on where you are might indicate who built the body. There could be a builders plate somewhere? Apart from the door, the parts you seek should be relatively easily available, whether original or reproduction. 100 years on, you might have to make some concessions. Plenty of places, like https://www.fillingstation.com/ might be able to help. Digital manuals for Chevrolet are available online. Don't be tempted to start it, that will just lead to damage and disappointment, and much work and expense. Plenty of info on this forum about pre starting checks for barn finds, etc. But once again, pictures please. Lets everybody know what you are talking about. Thanks, Rod.

I think every trip would be a potential movie scene, or at least an adventure. JRA. Thanks so much Dave for making my life complete. Something else to dream of seeing for real.

Thinking 1928 twin port exhaust. 1925 had the 2 smaller rocker covers, but 1926 first one piece rocker cover. Both years single port exhaust. But think '26 cover has been put on '25 sometimes. Correction, just seen remains of instrument panel Think 1925 onwards..

DF, if you click on link from Bring a trailer, there is about 170 pics of car from all angles, and a YouTube clip. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1924-lexington-modified-concord-boattail-speedster/

Hi Brains trust, best pictures I can find of a 1924 Lexington with an Ansted engine with water pump. Cannot find parts manual or diagrams or makers marks/ numbers, and I have been looking for a few years. Don't have the car, but one I looked at a while back that was missing all sorts of bits, and the electrics are pretty straight forward. If they ever decide to sell, they have my name and know I am interested. In the meantime..... So question is, does this water pump look same, or similar to one in another car from similar time frame? Sorry no measurements. Pretty sure Lexington made their own water pumps, amongst many other parts, but they did also manufacture for other Brands. (Lexington existed 1910-1927 and was perhaps most famous for winning 1st and 2nd place at Pikes Peak in 1920 with an Ansted engine. The last version of this engine was the F or M type, identical looking but the M type in picture below was in Concord model, and the slightly more powerful F type was in Minuteman model.) The carburettor shown is I think Rayfield L3P? Correct later model Rayfield should be either MR-4 or M-4, but they are all probably pretty scarce. This 1924 Lexington modified Concord was sold on Bring A Trailer in 2021 for $35, 250. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1924-lexington-modified-concord-boattail-speedster/ Thank you.

Give'em a call Dave, but your probably many years too late. https://www.spitzautoparts.com/about.html

That is one amazing collection there Hubcap Collector. And great photos also. Thanks.

Became bit of an exciting and group sleuthing post Luv2Wrench. https://forums.aaca.org/topic/398043-can-take-more-photos-of-frame/

Worth nothing back then. Makes them rarer today. Sad but true.

Loving the Kaiser Darrin. Great photos, thanks for posting. Went to US in '96, Big place, missed so much. Probably won't get back in this lifetime. Thanks.

Just right mouse click hold and scroll down to search with google Lens. Click on same pic if it appears below image you are searching. This process very rarely works for me in finding origins of images, but each year it does get better.

Dukes of Hazzard doors?

Before I scrolled down Studemax, I lamented the lack of an 'ouch' emoji with our trusty 3 choices.

Thats pretty finely detailed for such a small object there Terry. Have seen all sorts of patterns and images/ scenes on these sort of cases and similar, over years, but this is first transport related one. But I admit I don't go looking, might have to now. Thanks. Rod.

Ignorance is bliss to some Dealers. There can be dozens of people with same problem on line, yet dealer swears never heard about it. At least if you find a 'good' YouTube you can have a realistic idea of time and cost involved, and if something is worth or possible to fix. Once we might have gone to the library to work out the same, but now libraries have give up fixing help to YouTube.

Well seeing JH Boland has allowed us to step away from 4 wheels for a moment, this a piece of outdoor art a mate made a few years back, in homage to the good old days in suburban Australia before septic systems and flushing toilets, when the outside toilet, (outhouse, etc) was situated in the back yard, usually with an alleyway running behind, and the night soil was collected weekly by 'The Nightman.'

Its been here before? 3Macboys posted October 27.

I can now understand why I don't see too many chauffeurs around. Some of its too confusing for today, but obviously thought essential back then. And thanks for posting.
