I'm looking for the metal plugs that go in hole on the runningboard apron on my 26 Buick. The hole is 1 3/4" I could use three, two for apron and one to fill hole in firewall where exhaust manifold heater goes through. Restoration Specialties used to carry them but not any more. Thanks for any help.

I'm putting my clutch back together on the 26 Buick Standard. Should I use any type of grease on input shaft of trans., the flywheel hub or on the teeth on both out side and inside of clutch discs?? It seems real dry. thanks for any help.

I'm looking for a private secured parking lot in South Bend for a few days before the Buick Meet. we have two trailers which will be coming from Maine.

Leif, I had what I figured was the original floor mat which was rubber. I don't know what was under the metal plates around brake-clutch, gas pedal and shift lever. There was a piece of foam rubber type material around gas pedal rod. This is a 27 Buick Standard made into a Woodie Wagon in 1927. Thanks Steve he old orginal

What would be a good material to use around the brake and clutch pedals ?? I have made a new rubber floor mat but still have openings around the petals. Thanks for any help

I replaced muffler on my 27 Buick standard from Waldrens for $100, was too loud, I bought one Advance Auto for around $35-40 sounded just like the old one. If your muffler is like a 27 Buick I'll' get part number from Advance Aauto. Steve [ QUOTE=bigvic;1114345]I have the original muffler from my car. the outside metal was shot so I cut it off and was surprised how good the internal baffles looked. Has any tried to save these by ceramic coating or hot dip galvanizing? If this worked I would recover with a new outer skin. Looking for that original sound....

I used real dry pine boards for my running boards. I bought mat material from Bob's for both my 26 sedan and 27 Woodie. It is very poor quality, I had to junk half of it. I would like to find some good material myself for the 27 Woodie.

To Barney, I have a 1927 Buick woodie wagon which was made in 1927 out of a Model 27-27 Standrard four door sedan. Can you get a custom made cover by measurements?? Thanks for any help. Steve

i'm looking for a tailpipe deflector for my 27 Buick woodie. Right now the exhaust comes back in car with rear side curtain rolled up. What would be correct for a car in middle 20"s ?? thanks for any help

[RON GREEN What do you have for a exhaust deflector and what car?? I'm looking for something for my 27 Buick Woodie. LeBaron Bonney had a few. Thanks for ant Help Steve UOTE=Ron Green;1083838]There probably were as many aftermarket exhaust tips manufactured as there are factory correct accessory exhaust tips. Many shapes and sizes. For factory correct you need to look in the correct model year factory ligature as they are well documented. My exhaust deflector (factory typically called them deflectors not tips) which is an odd shape has been checked for originally many times by AACA judges without issues as I had the correct factory documentation.

I'm looking for a period correct Tailpipe deflector for my 27 Buick Woodie. I seem to be getting an exhause smell in the car from back window being open. I fould one at LeBaron Bonney Item # KC403. Thanks for any Help.

Thanks for any help.Steve UOTE=MarrsCars;1074304]I believe you may be referring to GAHH: Convertible Tops, Auto Interiors, Quality Convertible Tops as they are a noted interior shop.

I am looking for some good quality runningboard rubber for my 26 Buick. I bought some from B..'s and wasn't too happy with it. It had al kinds of defects in it and look like one piece was seemed together. Thanks for any help.

My 27 Buick Standard has about .010" end play on one axle, Is this too much and how to correct it?? Other side has .002" end play. Both hubs are tight on the axles. Thanks for any Help.

I'm replacing the mouldings on the runningboards on my 26 and 27 Buicks. Where do the nails go, on top or sides?? Thanks for any help

YOU CAN MOVE THE WHEEL AND HUB IN ABOUT .010 TO .020 INCHES. mAYBE THATS NORMAL. tHE LEFT SIDE IS TIGHT AND MY OTHER bUICK HAS NO MOVEMENT AT ALL. mAYBE i SHOULD TAKE REAR END COVER OFF AND MAKE SUE AXLE NUT IS TIGHT???

The right rear wheel on my 27 Standard appears to be loose. The wheel will move in and out just a tiny bit. I tighten the outside axle nuts. Can I take the play out by tighting the inside axle nut? When taking a right turn something rubes. The left side is OK. Thanks for any Help.

I need to find a good glue to attach rubber runningboard material to painted wooden runningboards. Thanks

50jetback. That sounds like what's is going on. In fact today I called Fort Wayne Clutch who relined the plates and they said the same thing. Tonight I tried one of the metal discs on the hub and it was hanging up just a little, so if they all held up thats the problem. Thanks for your Help Steve

MARK I'm shifting in about 20 feet of movement in 1 st gear and still grinds. Have tried all kinds of adjustment on clutch. I'm using 600wt gear oil that I use in all my old car trans and rear axles. I always double clutch which I learned back in the 50'S. I just took the clutch out again. I did notice that the metal discs where rusted quite badly and I did glass-bead them before I put it in with the relined discs from Fort Wasyne Clutch. Do you think the metal disks could be the problem as my shop manual says the metal discs should be very smooth. It likes something is keeping the clutch from disegaging. Usually I can figure thinks out but this has me stumped. Thanks for any help. Steve

I'm having trouble with the clutch in my 27 Buick standard. Can't shift without grinding badly. I have had the plates relined, new large coil spring made, new throwout and pilot bearings. When pushing down on the clutch peddle the clutch seems to throw in but can't shift only at very very low speed. Can't shift on the road. With the transmission out, how far should the clutch hub move in and out?? Mine moves about 1/4", is this too much. I have had it together and apart 3 times. NEED HELP. Thanks
