Guest Dunc126 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hello all, I am in the process of looking into having some spark, light, and throttle levers cast in brass for my 1930 Commander FD. I've found a local foundry here in Chicago which is able to do small order casting and I wondering if anyone needs additional copies of these levers. I'm not sure if there's a discount for bulk orders, but I just wanted to throw it out there to see if there's any intrest. Let me know.Thanks.

Guest stude8 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Here is a picture of the last set I bought in 2008 from a guy in Spokane, WA. [steve Munts; Custom Antique Parts, 4903 S. Mohawk Dr; Spokane, WA 99206 www.srmunts@mindspring.com] Also if your levers are crumbling the 456007 cluster base may need to be replaced also, it gets brazed to the end of the steering column center tube and supports the complete lever set. Don't know if Steve still does these parts?Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Huston Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Steve Munts has sold his business a couple of years ago and is no longer making Studebaker parts. I have been told that someone in Missouri bought Steve out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbk Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I believe that Richard Blomquist in Wisconsin still makes the steering wheel levers for Studebakers.Send me a PM for his info or google "White Glove Colection"He makes and sells inside door handles also.Robert Kapteyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Good Old Days Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Yep, he sells them! I bought a set some years ago and they look very nice to me, what I'm still looking for is the brown vover plate (bakalite?) for at least 4 of my cars, anyone knows? Any ideas please, I'm sure there are more people looking!:cool:Happy holidays to you all!Carine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dunc126 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Just as an FYI, Steve Munts is apparently back in business. His website is www.customantiqueparts.com. He got back to me with a quote of $235.95 for the lever set, and $96.65 for the lever base plate. Being new to this, I don’t really have anything to compare this quote to. Does this seem like a reasonable amount?<o:p></o:p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
