Satin on the wheels will focus more attention on the body.

My interpretation is that this applies only to employees.

Padgett obviously shifted into a later era....

Ken, It is generally used for older vehicles to prevent leakage from older (teens & 20's) steering gears that have no elastomeric seals. But it should also work just fine for your GMC.

You can't go wrong with this stuff...

I purchased an adjustable magneto drive coupling from Kevin's Magneto Service: https://magneto-repair.com/ Other parts can be found on eBay or this forum. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SDL2223491-BRASS-HANDLE-6/262988788395?hash=item3d3b5a72ab:g:GvgAAOSwK6RZG0H5 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1311.R1.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xcarbide+genera.TRS0&_nkw=carbide+generator&_sacat=6000&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=6000&_odkw=%2Bbrass+%2Bhandle

Rich, For my 1924 Buick, I used aluminized exhaust tubing obtained from the recycle bin at a local muffler shop. Muffler shops have lots of scrap tubing that they can swedge to the diameter needed. Aluminized tubing resists corrosion and is free or very cheap. Just cut down one side of the old tube and collapse it for removal. Clean and lube the internal surfaces of the cast iron riser and press the replacement tube into the riser with an arbor press. It helps to cut the new tube with a pipe cutter that will slightly bevel the end that is to be pressed into the riser. Good luck, Mark

Peter, The topic is a discussion of options regarding the BCA National Meet. And, it is obvious that the reason for this discussion is the COVID 19 pandemic. One of the options specified by Pete is #3 "Cancel it due to health concerns and not hold a national meet this year". So, it seems you are being a bit heavy handed in trying to limit this discussion.

Hugh, Please post this info on the Prewar Buick Registry site. Thanks, Mark Shaw https://brassbuicks.groups.io/g/PBR/files

This stuff works...

One is not calibrated correctly. They should both read the same pressure within the range of the lower pressure gage.

I completely agree. A BCA trophy is not worth risking your life or the lives of others!
