'16/'17 owners with a tapemeasure

[Guest Roger_Roy]

Guys,

Putting things on an old chassis to see whats what but my bonnet looks to be comming up short , Im thinking maybe the radiator surround I have is not right, whats the distance from the crank (starter dog thing) centre to the top of the shell? the length of the bonnet?

Thanks

Roger

I Have a 1920 k 45 do you think it would be the same measurments? Bill WEB 38

[Larry Schramm]

Can you put a diagram or picture of the measurements that you want?

Roger,

If you are a BCA member, you could identify all the members with the same car and contact them directly.....

Just a suggestion...

thanks , it depends on if the engine is the same height as a '16 which I dont know , if its basically the same engine it could be the same. Any measurements of the radiator will be helpfull just tell me where you measured from and to. Unfortunately Im not a BCA member but I am on the 1915 - 1918 Buick & McLaughlin Owners Group Newsletter...

thanks all.

Bill,

thanks, Bonnet/hood is same legth, could you tell me the width of the louvered lower panel? Rad shell as thought is too tall . if anyone has a '16/17 and can confirm the height that would be appreciated.

thanks
