humber349 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) The 1928 Buick manuals I have all show left hand drive cars, even the English Models version I have. Did Buick produce RHD manuals?I am particularly looking for a good picture or diagram for the foot pedals and linkages on my 1928 RHD Std 6.

1939_Buick Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) I have never seen any, but do not look for 1920's literature. Australia may be place to look as many Buick's made / sold here in the 1920'sI have 1 only parts book (1923-1939) published by the NASCO division of GM Holden (Australia). Has RHD parts listed but no drawings Edited November 26, 2011 by 1939_buick (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humber349 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) I have now fitted the brake & clutch pedals and I am happy with them, but I do not appear to have any of the parts for the accelerator and its linkage.Any one got a RHD 1928 with the body off, that they could photograph these parts please?Anyone breaking a RHD 1928 please?

humber349 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Tom in Australia kindly sent pictures of his Buick and this is the RHD accelerator assembly. Is the LHD the same please? Edited November 26, 2011 by humber349 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Holmberg Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 The picture I sent to Humber is from my 1925 and they looks the same up to 1927,humber needs one from 1928 116"-1929 116" or 1930 ser.40 RHD.But I think he can use a LHD if he modifie it.

pepcak Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Phil,not sure if you noted, but the foot pad of your pedals are of totally different shape of what 28 pedals looked like, regardless they are LHD or RHD. Yours are rather square and vertical while typical shape is oval and horizontal with "catches" preventing foot slide off...Josef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humber349 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Thanks Josef, I hadn't noticed that.It seems that UK built pedals were different.This picture is from the 1928 UK sales catalogue.Anyone recognise these shape pedals from a different year or GM make?

humber349 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 And this looks like it matches the other pedals. So is this my UK style accelerator pedal?Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Stock Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 In New Zealand there is for sale a 1929 Buick (RHD). It is atBuick 1929 | Trade MeI know it's not 1928 but there are photos (including removed floor boards) which might give you some ideas on the pedal set up.If you want future access to the pictures you should save them now because the auction site will take the item down a certain time after the auction closes.
