Guest stude8 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I have a 1928 Studebaker Commander model GB Victoria equipped with Monroe hydraulic lever tpe shock absorbers (Stude #157987,FrRH; 157988,FrLH) one has a cracked cast iron reservior cover [casting#17-3].Will probably need other parts not defined yet, like internal valve assy. Anyway if anyone has surplus parts or a supplier that can, please reply.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stude8 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 RobertI am planning to drive up to South Bend May 3rd or 4th with Jim McCuan, I hope you will be over there those days, have the shocks with. I would love to visit Joliet but it is a long drive from down south here. If you see Roy Nelson in the next week remind him I will bring up the five 6:00x20 used tires he wanted.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GE Dictator 1928 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Robert,Would you happen to have any other parts from that '28 GE? I am looking for the gas gauge and the internals for the steering wheel levers. May also be interrested in some other parts as spares.Thank you!Keith Gramlch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 KeithWhat part of the gas gauge dash or tank?I will look at the column to look for the levers.I have some headlight parts , cranks , transmission top,brake drums.I am old and slow so please have patience.Where are you located?Robert Kapteyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GE Dictator 1928 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Robert,My sending unit from the Gas Tank is not in great shape at all, although it is currently covering that hole in the tank. I am complely missing the gauge in the dash. Someone was going to fix it for my Grandfather back in the '70's and never returned it.WIth regard to the linkages, I am really looking hard for the insides of the column. The rods, steering wheel assembly with horn button and the bakelite disc that shows "throttle", Lights" Spark, etc. In understand the levers themselves are white metal and disintegrate, so i understand I would need to try to purchase reproductions, but when the prrevious owner of my car had the problem, he ripped everything out of the steering column leaving only the column itself.I would be interested in the drums certainly, and possibly the headlight parts as well. I have a 2 door "Club Sedan", which ends up being a 2nd series ('27 style with a '29 interior and '29 engine).I hope to have the car along time, so please take all the time you need. I am thankful to know of a parts source, and appreciate your time and assistance very much!Thank you!!Keith Gramlich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GE Dictator 1928 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hi Robert,I hope all is well. Was wondering if you might have found any of the parts we were discussing?I assume I wouldn't be looking at engine/tranny parts as it would be too costly to ship to Long Island, NYThanks!Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 KeithIt has been too hot in the buildingI have been staying home where it is cool.We had a death in the family and I will be going to California for a couple of weeks.When I get back ,I will look for these again.Robert Kapteyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stude8 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The steering column levers and 3 post support base were reproduced by Steve Munts but I think he is out of that business at this time. I can attach a few photos of repairs I made to my 1928 Commander lever set a few years ago with Munts parts. Just to give you an idea what all went into the center cluster of the column.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GE Dictator 1928 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Robert and Stude 8, Thank you! Stude 8, Thank you for posting this. This will help me greatly when I get to this point. Unfortunately my entire unit from the middle of the steering wheel, including horn button, and bakelite "quadrant" is missing and I have not been able to find another one, so I have been looking for the entire assembly.. I feel so bad that Seve is out of the buiness now. I was lucky enough to get the water pump coupleings from him last year and I beleive that was it. I unfortunately got my car just as he was closing up shop.Robert, If you ever get back out to the building when it cools off, just send me an email at wurli1@live.com and we can talk further.Many thanks everyone!!Keith Gramlich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
