Guyro Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Wondering if anyone can help me with what the face of a '23 fuel gauge looked like? I have the gauge but with rusty face.Can you buy the decal in centres for Budd wire wheels? Studebaker radiator caps? or the wagon wheel decal on the radiator shroud?Does anyone have a light/ignition switch (photo's show one in a museum and the old one I have with broken levers) or rear door catchs for a '23The second last photo is what it looked like all those years ago, unfortunately before my time. Although it has been in the family since new.They even won a reliability trial (last photo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstudemike Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Ozzie, drop me an email. I can get you a picture of the fuel gauge. I will have to look but I might have something for you in the way of an ign switch.studebaker@mikekeeler.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Ozzie,Let me know if Mike wasn't able to help you out or if you need any other info off a Light Six (mine is in the middle of a full restoration). My 1923 gauge is a bit rough but has enough detail to get what you are looking for. I can send a photo if needed. smrdeza@power-net.netScott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstudemike Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 This one is original and unrestored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) This is my unrestored gauge - removed from housing. The gauge face was originally a satin sheen black with white lettering, similar to the gauges on the dash.

Guyro Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hi Thanks for the reply, I would love the contacts for the handles if you have them. As getting hold of a complete switch seems to be nearly impossible.RegardsGuyguy@gwydir.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Connelley Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hi all: I am in the middle of restoring a '23 Special Six and the ignition/lite switch has one broken lever.

oldstudemike Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Ozzie, I do have a couple ign switches for your car. Both switches work and so does the key. Let me knowstudebaker@mikekeeler.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GoldenAge Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys,We just purchased a 1923 EM Light Six that we will be frame off restoring. It has the same old probelms as everyone else. We need an ignition switch or at least the levers. The levers expanded and cracked the housing pretty badly. We are also missing the fuel gauge all together. The last part that we need is the last top bow or the details to reproduce it.Any help or pointers would be great!Thanks,Paul Doughertygoldenageair@earthlink.net Edited November 19, 2010 by GoldenAge (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I am still working on a project to reproduce the switch handles for the 1922-24 cars part#105715. From the parts book it looks like these were used on Most 1922,All 1923/24 cars.I am old and slow so please have patience.I have had many requests for contact info regarding these switch handles.A few were made for a car under restoration and the extras were sold.Contact me under studebaker@mac.com for number needed , to make this economically possible.Robert Kapteyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary_Ash Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I know this is an old thread, but I did make some reproduction gauge faces for the Nagel gas gauges after scanning an original. These are on self-adhesive aluminum (thin, like heavy foil). I made some with black face and white letters and some with black letters on shiny metal. The ones with black face and white letters include the Nagel logo, as original. These are $20 each. Let me know if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Gary,And I just had mine restored...they had to make the screen print you have shown in the middle.I think I have some parts to make a spare, if so I'll send you an email and buy one.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
