Thanks for your responses guys. Do you think 1 of these kits would be enough to cast 2 snubbers? Howard Dennis

Anybody have an idea of where I could obtain rubber blocks that could be ground into rubber axle bumpers for my 1917 Maxwell? They appear to be about 1 3/4 inches wide x 6 inches long x 3 inches tall and were held on with leather straps. Thanks, Howard Dennis

You'll get much more help from these guys as they do a lot of modified cars. Hokey Ass Message Board - THE H.A.M.B. We are into making them exactly like they were delivered to the dealer. Howard Dennis

Tough to do on an enclosed torque tube rear axle! Howard Dennis

Thanks Don, Mom used to say "Better late than never". Howard Dennis

Going by the door limiting strap like my 1930 Buick had I'd say this is from a larger early 30's GM car. Howard Dennis

Thanks Bob, I'm prepared for just such an emergency! Howard Dennis

I just acquired this dash panel thinking it might work on my 1917 Maxwell. After checking wiring diagrams I find it matches 1918 exactly. The trouble is 1917 is 6 volt and 1918 is 12 volt. I hate to get rid of this dash if the cut out/regulator will work on my dash because this unit is N.O.S. My question is can the cut out/regulator be tested (by someone more knowledgeable than me) to determine voltage requirements or is there a visual difference that can be seen? Thanks for any help, Howard Dennis

Dave, Maxwell did the same thing that manufacturers do today they created engines for the track that had no resemblance to their showroom product whatsoever. They varied so much that the first version didn't even run on gasoline it used kerosene. Howard Dennis

Even with all the flowery language I smell an auction!

This started out sounding like you wanted to help out the restoration community "If you can help me with determining a value, or may be interested in purchasing these parts for your own project or inventory, please contact me via the links on this forum" But now that someone has stepped up it now seems you are after the absolute last nickel you can get! Which is it? Howard Dennis

Chandler built some sport models with step plates instead of running boards. Howard Dennis

Could you post the part # and exactly what they call it so I get the same product? Howard Dennis

Thanks to Erik Johnson over at the Model T Forum: It's aftermarket and for a Model T Ford. I have one sitting on the shelf at home. It slips onto the radiator neck. When you install it, you bend the tabs around the lower edge of the lip of the radiator neck (this is to prevent it from being stolen). Likewise, the two ends of the wire also are tucked under the lip. It's a flip top - you pull the wire down to flip open the cap. Yours appears to be NOS so the tabs are not broken off. Usually when you find this particular accessory, the tabs have been broken off as a result of being removed from the radiator neck. Howard Dennis

Thanks for your response John. Go back and look at the base, very oddly shaped and no internal threads. I wondered if the tails of the bail somehow went under the flare of the Model T radiator neck? Howard Dennis

Just acquired this online and waiting for it to arrive. I've never seen this style mounting before, does anyone recognize it or know how it functions? Seller claims it's for a Ford. Howard Dennis

Just to show you not to give up, this was my third request on here for this part and in less than an hour a member responded and I should have my long sought part in less than a week. What a great site and Thank You, Bob! Howard Dennis

Since I can't seem to find one of these to match the one I have does anyone have any ideas about who could recreate one? Howard Dennis

Chris, Would that store you bought it at be Tractor Supply? Howard Dennis

Dave, don't you mean the RIGHT front fender has a spare tire well? Howard Dennis

Coil on left is an Atwater Kent Type CC. The brass tag on top should tell if it is 6 or 12 volt. Howard Dennis

One of the dead give-aways of a Knight engine is the OHV style head cover and the hemi style through the valve cover mounting of the spark plugs. Howard Dennis

Fire truck says FWD on it and I believe the small open tractor is a WWII Studebaker Weasel. Howard Dennis
