This car survives to this day although I don't know of it's present condition: https://museum.dmna.ny.gov/application/files/9715/5579/5700/GJG_Car_NYG.pdf Howard Dennis

Thanks Richard, I never said the award was WWII. I posted pretty much what you said but wanted any information on WWI awards. The pin is 1 9/16 in diameter and I have never had it tested. Howard Dennis

I like your idea IF the seat was removable but it isn't. Howard Dennis

Understand your concept, But how do you hone the needle when it is threaded into the housing?? Howard Dennis

Thanks Larry, But I spent 4 years hunting down this oddball looking shutoff that Maxwell used and am trying my darndest to keep it original as built. Howard Dennis

Forgive me if these are stupid questions but I'm not a machinist but need advice from one. My 1917 Maxwell's fuel shutoff started leaking recently and after removing it I took it to my local machine shop and no matter what I did I couldn't get him to understand that the brass shutoff had a metal to metal seal and all I wanted him to do was reshape the needle and make the seat match. I left in disgust and tried by hand to very gently rotate a drill bit in the body and hand sand the needle tip. I have managed to slow down the leak but not stop it. Next week I plan to try another machine shop in the hopes that they can help me save this part that took me 4 years to find. Is there a certain angle that I should tell them to put on this needle? The needle is 1/4 x 28 TPI but the tip is .200 . Also if a new needle needs to be made can it be made the same thread but slightly oversize in diameter to make up for wear from age? Thank you for any help or advice you can give me, Howard Dennis

Ran across this 1931 timetable online. Howard Dennis

See if this brings back any memories: https://forums.aaca.org/topic/362700-transclutch-removal-tips/ Also since your clutch is already sorted don't forget to count the turns on adjusting nuts when removing them! Howard Dennis

Richie, can you post a clear photo of the inside of the distributor? Howard Dennis

Thanks John, that really clears things up although I have to take exception with the books assumption that the purpose of the glass is unknown. The picture tells it all, there could be no other purpose. Howard Dennis

Ran across this discussion that had this picture. Wonder if Locke put the twin panes in the lid or was it owner modified? This picture shows why it was split panes. https://forums.aaca.org/topic/291250-how-to-get-in-rumble-seat/ Howard Dennis

The more I thought about this the more I knew I had seen something very similar before. Found this 1947 Triumph this morning. Howard Dennis

I could be wrong as I too have never seen this windshield variation. To my eye it appears that the rumble lid is short and when closed only extends to the door jam of the right door. The windshield looks like it would fold down and close the space from the door jam forward. Howard Dennis

I I can't find any website or online presence? Howard Dennis

Is Don Sommers American Arrow Corporation still in business making reproduction radiator ornaments for antique automobiles? Howard Dennis

Picked this up at local antique mall and wonder, is it automotive or motorcycle ? Factory tool kit or aftermarket? Any guess's on what square hole is for? While searching online I found possible connection to early V8 Ford tool kit and mention of square hole being for brake adjustment, can anyone elaborate or confirm? Howard Dennis

Does that mean we have foresight or are we just optimists? Howard Dennis

Very Nice John! Howard Dennis

Thanks John, No it wasn't on eBay. I can't reveal source yet as I'm too busy buying deals like this but it is online.

It felt great to me as well and why I shared it. I'll have to take a picture to show how happy it looks keeping my 1932 Plymouth flying lady company in my man cave. Howard Dennis

Just acquired this flying lady online. Had I not seen something in the original pictures most others wouldn't have seen I might have passed on it as too far gone. Further emails convinced me to take a chance. Imagine my surprise to find it was new old stock! I believe it must have been in dealership fire as it was covered in a very dark film, hard to remove and someone had then sprayed it with aluminum spray paint! It took me hours but I think it turned out pretty darn nice. Howard Dennis

AndyCa57, You need to tell us what year switch you are looking for as there are different switches used over the model 25's production run. Have any pictures? Is your switch missing completely or just damaged? I've rebuilt some awful looking originals and have a few left over parts. Howard Dennis

Just got a call this morning from the Post Master of the town where my buyer lives to let me know the Bantam grille had arrived AND he said he was going to call my customer to let him know he will receive it today. FINALLY a postal employee actually doing his job. And just think the extra cost Priority Mail only took 18 days! Howard Dennis

Wouldn't know, but I also wouldn't tell the residents what to call where they lived until I asked them what locals called it. They live there it's their choice. Howard Dennis
