Spent an hour rooting through the garage, boxes and cans rounding up parts, photographed them and measured each one, straightened out bent bolt, logged it all into computer and posted online and original poster can't be bothered to even acknowledge if it helps or not after viewing all my effort. No problem, just don't expect any other effort from me. Howard Dennis

Peter, here's what I found in my garage. Some where rusty and dipped in rust remover and the spider was damaged when I backed my nuts off too far. I'm no machinist so these measurements are just a rough guide. The studs are 5/16 x 24 TPI. They are swedged into the spider, notice in one photo you an see how they were damaged when adjusted too far out. The studs measure 2.551 long and are threaded 1.530 down. The nuts are 3/4 hex head and the head is .260 tall. Total height is 1.136. Below the head is .540 outside diameter. Top half of nut is not threaded to a depth of .580 and it is bored to .406. The rest of the nut I.D. is threaded 5/16 x 24 TPI. Next is a cup washer O.D. 1.205 I.D. .589 .222 tall I only have one spring and it is broken but I'm pretty sure none is missing and these should be the correct dimensions. 2.388 tall 1.012 O.D. .626 I. D. Hope this helps, Howard Dennis

Peter, I've been rooting around in the garage to try and find anything that might help you out since you posted. First look at these parts book pages and see if you can give me an idea what keeps falling off? "There was a circlip at the end which keeps falling off" . Howard Dennis

A good friend shared this and I thought it was worth passing on. Howard Dennis Beany's Drive Thru - Long Beach, Ca - 1952-53 The 50’s were the best years. Notice the cooks at the drive-in, no gloves handling the food. How did we survive? Yep It's fun to see. Watch for "Mr. McDonalds," Ray Kroc, walking up in a suit and tie to buy a burger. Notice the DRIVE UP window speaker to order..... 1953!! This is great to watch if only for the cars and the clothes! There is so much to take in, you will probably watch several times, or pause to look closer.

I hope the advice you were given was free because then you paid what it was worth! Here's a page from a 1916 Maxwell parts book. Howard Dennis

Since Maxwell did not have a production pickup cab, any pickup from this era is going to be "converted" from some other body from company inventory. My own 1917 Light Delivery was either roadster or touring sheet metal "converted" by the factory to suit a low production need. Howard Dennis

The throat/mounting flange is the only casting on this as the rest is all stamped sheet brass. Howard Dennis

Thanks, but there is no mention of finish during the brass era nor of carburetors completely plated in nickel. Howard Dennis

Just purchased this K D Type B carburetor from an AACA member and it surprised me when it arrived as it has no markings like at least 30 others I have seen and it is nickel plated. To my knowledge plated carburetors were not normal and it makes me wonder if this is a salesmans sample, display carburetor or plated by Maxwell for use on a show car chassis? Your thoughts or opinions welcomed. Howard Dennis

Andrew, Check out this photo I just got on eBay. It was from a family album from Ontario, Canada. Found out Maxwell built a plant there in 1916 so I think Charlie is driving a Maxwell factory vehicle. Howard Dennis

Thanks Andrew, I just sent him an email. Howard Dennis

Posted Today, 11:24 AM Just noticed one of my tail light lenses is chipped on the bottom. Anybody have a pair of glass beehive lenses or one if it matches my pictures? The lights are off a 1920's Maxwell. The lense is 2.25 at the base. 1.25 tall but shorter or taller could be used if you had 2. The lense just fits a 2 inch opening. Howard Dennis Thanks, Howard Dennis

I'll be looking forward to that 28 Chrysler. Maybe that would work for the rubber snubbers on my Maxwell's front axle. Howard Dennis

Not auto related but made me just as happy! In October while visiting my daughter in Virginia I went antique shopping and bought a Japanese dagger for $50. The dealer said I shouldn't buy it as it was a reproduction. The appraiser/restorer emailed me Christmas eve to tell me my early 16th ct. Samurai dagger was done. In February it goes to a Japanese team for evaluation and should get papers attributing it to a good maker from 1504-21. Glad I went with my first impression. Howard Dennis

Bob, Now there is a show I'd watch gladly! Howard Dennis

I've put this picture on this post about 6 times and it keeps disappearing????????????????????????????????????

Stumbled across this stunning Duesenberg on the Jalopy Journal and it has no information. Truly one of the best looking ones I've ever seen. What is it and does it still exist? Howard Dennis

To my eye it DOES have the divider bar right in the center. Howard Dennis
