water manifold baffles for '29-'37 small straight 8 now ready!

[Gary_Ash]

I got the water baffle plates in from the laser cutting company, checked out the fit on my housing from the 1937 President engine. The new plates are flat on the edges, without the stamped rim, but they drop right into place with good alignment. They only need some small tack or spot welds, as on the originals, to hold them in place (20 gauge steel, as original). The center openings with flaps are bent to right position.

These came out a little more costly than I had hoped, so I have some available for $35. There aren't many, so if you want one or more, get them now. They fit in the "Manifold, Water Cylinder", p/n 167040, shown as item A10-3 on plate 4, division B in the 1929-40 parts catalog for 8's. These are used on 1929-37 small 8, models FC, FD, 61, 62, 70, 71, 73, 82, B, 1B, C, 1C, 2C, 3C.
