A lot of work on this question was done in the UK in 2002 by the Federation Of British Historic Clubs www.fbhvc.co.uk

There are three engine shields part numbers 200745,200744 and 200743 listed in the 2249 Senior parts list ( page 85) but no pictures. Has anyone any drawings or photographs of these parts?

I have been asked about two DB engines, C345-842 and C893-069 , both are 4 cylinder, two-unit 6 volt. When did the "A" prefix change to "C" and what date are these engines ?

There is one for sale on ebay

I always make sure the ground strap is heavy duty, quite often I find someone has replaced the original with a 12 volt strap, with causes extra resistence . At one time the head lights on my Senior where very dull, the problem was solved by running a heavier gauge wire from the starter to the ammeter,ammeter to the lighting switch and running a parallel wire from the lighting switch to the junction box, this cuts down resistence to the lights.

It is a Johns-Manville, when I tried to remove the chrome band the face and working parts seem to want to come with it.

I have just finished a 240 mile trip in my 1918 DB, about 40 mile from the start, the speedo hand came detached from the spindel .How do I take the glass off the front of the speedo to get to the hand?

Thank you for the comprehensive information. The tranny is filled with Penrite 250 but no MED grease has been added, some where I read that you should not mix oil and grease together as they will not blend,but this probably not important in this case.

Rodge, Can offer any advise on the correct way to change gear, both up and down, on a 1918 DB ?It seems much harder than on the 1926 model.

Hi, all three have been repaired at some time, the crack are very near the split.The wheels are all in good condition and I am now fitting a newish set of tires.Your comment about over tightening the clamps is very interesting. How tight should they be?

I have had three split rims crack ,all on the rear near side, on my R/H 2249 SENIOR.Other than metal fatigue,what might be causing this problem? I am running out of rims!

I would have thought the first class bi-monthy magazine alone was worth membership of The Dodge club. If you do not get an answer to a question,spend sometime looking elsewere and if you find what you were looking for share it with other Dodge club enthusiasts.

There is a book REF "Lubricate with Whitmore's Compound NO. 0" What is this compound made of ?

Please may I have the king pine (steering knuckle bolt) dimensions for a 1927 DB Senior part no 200700, I do not want to take mine apart until I have to.

I am looking for a pair of cowl lights; (The type that were sold as an accessory to be fitted by the dealer.) of my 1927 2249 and if possable a photo of a car fitted with them

The Watson Stabilator should have four lubrication inserts which were changed every 20000 miles. What were they made of and what did they look like?

Try AA BEARINGS www.oldcarbearings@bigpond.com.au Denis Robertshaw knows a thing or two about Dodge's, he has a Dodge senior. Should this oil / grease mix be used in early (2249 1927) Dodge seniors ?
