1925 Studebaker Standard Six Parts?

[studebrooklyn]

Greetings,

I have recently purchased a '25 Stude Standard Six Phaeton.

I have two parts questions:

#1.

I need to replace the front wheel bearings. To give me a head start before I get it up on the lift: Does anyone have a size measurement or part number so that I can find them?

I don't figure the old Studebaker part number will be much help.

#2.

I have been working on the gear-activated lighting assembly at the bottom of the steering shaft.

The Remy box housing where the light switch resides is mounted atop a base. A shaft connected to a gear comes up through the center of this base and moves the light switch to the desired position.

This base, amazingly, is made of potmetal, and much of it has been broken off over the years during repair, and I've broken even more off myself.

Does anyone out there have any leads on where I might find another potmetal base in intact condition? I'd be happy with just the base, but would take the base + lighting switch assembly also.

Thanks so much for your time!

To help with #1 - my 1924 had Timken numbers on the front wheel bearings when I tore it down and they were able to be cross-referenced at the time. I did this work in 1989-90 and I sold the car 8 years ago now, but I'm fairly sure you will find the same information now. As for #2 - good luck, thankfully the switch you describe was not on a 24...
