Guest oldodgeboys Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I 'm looking for a right-hand-side Top Saddle Clamp for my 25 DB roadster.I can purchase the saddle, or I have a left-hand-side Top Saddle Clamp for a touring car that I will trade. This part is in VG condition. It shows, "PATD JAN 8 07 GILLIAM". It has the same basic mount as the mount on my roadster saddle, which is believed to be correct.If I can’t find a correct saddle for my roadster, I will modify the touring saddle to work...this will not be reversible. I don’t want to cut and weld a rare historical part. I can email pictures to you. Attempting to post an image here has been frustrating, as many people have stated.Thanks for helpingGus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan arnett (2) Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Gus: Send me the picture of what you are looking for. I am still cleaning mud off my parts but may have what you need. I do have to extra saddles.Jan.Arnett remove this @keysol.comI sure you can figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstro Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I have a pair of saddles that came with my 1921 Roadster that are not correct but real close....maybe they fit your car? Do you have the numbers off the ones you need? Do you have a picture of the correct ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oldodgeboys Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Wow, now that's weird...I was just about to reply to your posting with some info. I have not seen part numbers on any saddles...anywhere. Of the saddles I have and others I have seen, they all say 'Gilliam'. Some have a Patent date, some say 'Pat Pend'. I think the saddles may have been dealer installed or after-market, but not DB, not sure though.I can email pictures of the one saddle that I do have. Can you send your email address? Or send an email to me and I will reply with pictures. My email is: oldodgeboys@yahoo.comThe pictures are at work, so I can send them Wednesday.Thanks, Gus.

Guest oldodgeboys Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It does appear that the saddles are after-market, especially with "Gilliam" cast into the part.But I do believe that Gilliam made correct saddles for a 25 DB roadster, and the goal is to find them.

Guest oldodgeboys Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks for posting the pictures Jan. None of these will work for me though.I did find a number on my correct left-side saddle for a '25 roadster...its '90' or '06' in very small numbers located near the pivot pin. There is no 'L' or 'R'. The small size, poor casting, and corrosion make me wonder about the number accuracy, but its my best guess.I did find a drawing of a '25 touring clamp in the Fleet Owners guide book. The picture is similar to my existing clamp so I am on the right track. The listing also indicates that there <span style="text-decoration: underline">is</span> a factory association with the saddles.Gus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72caddy Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Jan,Would any of these work for a 19 touring? If you had a pair that would mount/work, I would be interested. Shoot me a PM.Sorry for the thread hi-jack; but it looks like it is at the end.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
