downunder Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Can anyone help me located a throttle and light lever for a 1930 Cyrsler 66. Mine are broken off flush with the horn so I can't use them.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martylum Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hi Down-I've restored a # of late 20s-early 30s Chrysler products and have a restored 30 Desoto roadster which i drive on tours. It too had the broken off light and hand throttle levers.If your lever design is the same as the 30 Desoto or similar to a 29 Desoto, you could use the castings I had made in stainless to replace the original nickel plated leves on the 30 Desoto.These are a direct replacement for the 30 Desoto and an indirect replacement for the 29 Desoto which had levers appearing the same but with a steel disk center core rather than a potmetal center core attaching to the tubes.You need to pull the tubes lout of the steering box after loosening the locking nut below the light switch.Once you remove the tubes, take a picture of the lever assembly remaining at the top of the tubes and e-mail to me. I think i can tell from the picture whether these castings will help you.If you have a closed car, you'll need to remove the steering box to frame bolts to drop down the steering wheel end of the steering tube to get clearance unless your roof is missing.Martin Lummarty@oldercar.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wolfe Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I bought a set of handles for my 1930 model 70 from a man named Verdone, I could try to fin his address and phone number if you need it. He cast stainless steel parts but doesn't do any machining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martylum Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I seem to have failed to give Verdone's phone -sorry-call 717-949-3341Martin Lum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
