  1. Hi, together with my father we acquired 1917 D45 that friend of ours brought from USA (MD) few years ago and now his priorities changed. Chassis # 237456. I have read many posts here which are very helpful. The car is missing few obvious things so if anybody has spare to sell, it would be very welcome. Hood latch down, 2 off Rim, 26" for spare tire Rear lamp bezel and glass Petrol tank cap What does correct folding top hanger look like? I have one, but looks bit too small to carry all these bows.... What is the correct Boyce motometer for this model? It is broken off here and i would like to get the correct one, can repair if needed What is the correct horn and where it should be located? The radiator has missing or blanked quite a few tubes so I am thinking about to get a spare one.... What the correct headlamp glass look like? Need two of them Where is the speedo and mile counter driven from? There is no "wire" from gearbox, no gear on front wheel..... Is there a parts list, shop manual and user manual available anywhere? Did not find much on-line... Thanks for any help, I am sure this is not my last post here.....
  2. Working on my shell today, I have an question, There are two "flaps" riveted from inside of support legs. How they are expected to support radiator from bottom? Should they actually be one "U"shaped piece? The problem is that I had to redo complete bottom part of the shell and not sure how these "flaps" looked originally. Picture anybody? Josef
  3. Looking for pair of 1928 bumper medaillons / clips in restorable condition. Can trade for rear bumper for rear spare wheels (bumperettes type). I am based in Europe, Czech Republic. Thanks for any help. Josef
  4. Hi, a friend of mine looks for a help with carb for 1930 DeSoto. There is a missing part, what is he missing there and where to get it from. thanks for any help / guidance. Josef
  5. Hi, There were 2 types of head in 1928, with 3 and 4 water outputs. I have one stainless water return pipe for 1928 Master with 4 legs sitting here, ready to ship. Send me a PM for detail if you are interested. Also I think I have seen some carb on e-bay recently, #132833153867. W/ broken zinc bowl, would need to find another piece with brass body. Time to time they pop out there. Some exhaust manifolds too (e.g. item 392154279450), please double check if this is the right P/N. Even the risers pop out sometimes, this with crazy price tag from UK (item 153015859031). Josef
  6. Well, after turning the slider part down to fit metric bearing ID 55mm, the whole thing disintegrated; apparently it was made up from two pieces. Back to square one: Does anybody have the slider part / bearing retainer #206526 (or the complete assembly w/ bearing 36138) that he can sell? Good original parts preferred. Any help is much appreciated. Josef
  7. More precisely - will 27-27 (Standard) part fit to (28) Master?
  8. Hi Hugh, another forum member here thinks he has complete 1927 Master retainer and bearing assembly that he can possibly miss, so I will wait for his findings. I agree the shielded / sealed bearing is better solution than open 3 piece design, that needs to be axially secured on top of other issues. Josef
  9. Hugh, thanks for information. The execution and condition of the single plate clutch was really bad, cracked disc of blue/yellow color loosely bolted on flywheel with its thickness significantly machined down, loose & broken parts etc. Luckily, they kept the lever and gearbox plate intact. On top of that I am trying to preserve original design as intended 90 years ago. I got original flywheel and clutch assy from Fred R. some tome ago, so the puzzle is slowly becoming complete. Somebody in the past welded up extra material on the retainer to increase its OD to 55 milimeters and used some really massive (OD 125mm, 36mm thick) 3 piece metric bearing (for 55mm shaft), with its axial location shifted forward to compensate missing thickness of the clutch. See attached image. I am thinking to buy a smaller one, with OD 90mm that fits between 3 pins protruding from clutch, and with 55mm ID to fit on (increased) retainer OD, This metric bearing is 25mm thick so it seems a good match with original 1". The disadvantage here is the bearing is only available as 3 piece unshielded design, thus it would require some extra circlip or something to keep the things together. Alternatively I am thinking to have it shielded as one of my friends runs a sheet metal forming shop. Other option seems to be to source original retainer and (replacement) bearing. Josef
  10. Hi, what are correct dims for 1928 Master clutch release bearing, especially thickness of it? Somebody in the past modified the clutch to single plate on my car, so trying to to convert it to original setup. Is the bearing the same with STD model? Does anybody have the slider part / bearing retainer #206526 (or the complete assembly w/ bearing) that he can sell? Thanks for any help. Josef
  11. Spotted these on e-bay, in "Motorcycle parts". Someone may be able to use them, unfortunately I seek for Master Parts.... I have no interest in them, seems they are in Australia..... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rare-1928-Buick-Clutch-Release-Bearing-And-Carrier/163026193289 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rare-1928-Buick-Diff-Crown-Wheel/163026193292 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rare-1928-Buick-Clutch-Parts/163026193294 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rare-1928-Buick-Speedo-Drive/163026193287 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rare-1928-Buick-Universal-Joint-And-Housing/163026193285 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rare-1928-Buick-Gearbox-Sliding-Gears/163026193284
  12. I have sketched 28 Master setup FYI, not sure what 31 looks like.
  13. Grant, I do not have roadster, I do have 7 passenger limo with divider, that has originally been 7 passenger touring (model 28-49) with dual sidemounts. I have added the picture before restoration, let me know should you want to see more. Josef
  14. Looking for rear bumper that fits 1928 Master with sidemounts. In restorable condition. Can trade for one suitable for rear spare, good condition, painted black. Thanks for any hints.
  15. Stuart, nice set of wheels indeed. Buick has been using these A5 sized hubs until 1928, I have them on my Master Six, indeed with 21" rims, 72 spokes. The locking nut reads "A5 W.W. CORP" instead of "ASH-WHEELS", and "BUFFALO" instead of "DETROIT". Not sure when this change occured. I bought my missing 6th wheel for USD 400 quite few years ago, w/ lock ring but w/o nuts/cap. Good luck with your project. Josef
  16. trying again to get some info.....
  17. Hi, does anybody with Master Parts book know if 1929 king bolts & thrust bearings interchange with those for 1928 Master ? Josef
  18. Guys, i still have one pipe available and ready to ship - one for 1928 Master Six with 4 legs (possibly #210491 as there was also 3 legged version) Price is fixed at USD 425 paid by Paypal, and it include worldwide shipping. Taking orders for more pipes. Czech currency is currently appreciating, will not be any cheaper ;-) I can also offer #1238929 and #1238932 pipes. Ask any questions you may have at pepcak@volny.cz.

  20. @ dracenroc - I can provide you with the 300dpi scan copy of 1928 120" & 128" series parts book. It is for Canadian built cars (Mc Laughlin Buick) but dont worry, they are the same. Plenty of parts depicted there (not all though). I see you already have 1927 Shop manual and 1928 Supplement (they cover all Standard & Master series cars), to my knowledge there is no other more detailed book for these cars. Send me an e-mail to pepcak@volny.cz or send a PM. What car do you have?
  21. Sweet :-) I have asked at Rareparts what it would cost to replace single ball joint like this and they quoted USD 185 (plus shipping to & from), using my Pitman arm as a core part. On different topic - are you still interested in water return pipe I offered? Josef
  22. This is how my 1928 Master part looks like. Seems the "peening" is very well made, looks factory(?)
  23. ... still have one pipe 1238929 ready to ship, anybody interested?
  24. Thriller - this was my thought as well... Lets see if there is anybody who can touch it.....
  25. ... no McLaughlin Buick owners around?
