dibarlaw Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 My 1925-25 Buick Touring has a set of cut down sockets from a larger older model. Only recently were several hobbyist kind enough to give me all the required specifications. We have noted some posts in other forums that show salvage yards with piles of top sockets, bumpers etc.but really no way of getting out to search the yards. The yards located in Idaho, Arizona and others way out west. This is what the top looks like with dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 At Chickasha I found at least 6 top socket sets mostly for Model Ts so far nothing has shown up, But I may have a lead in Mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 BTT I had finally contacted John Boorinakis at John's Enterprises in California.about doing a set and gave him the above photos and information. That was over a month ago and have not heard yet if he has a set that will work. So I am putting this out again. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 A few more sets have shown up. Close but no cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 More sets have surfaced but too large. We will keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 I thought that I would make my annual plea.... Several have shown up recently but again close but no cigar. One set is exactly what I have now except a non cut down version for a larger 1922-23 Buick touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you keep calling him until you get his attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Thanks Mark: But I know that I have attempted to contact John several times since that Sept.18th, 2016 post. All I have gotten back since early this year (2018) was that he will check.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 A fellow from Wyoming called tonight. Possibility??? We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 In his first call he said it was a 5 bow top, mine is a 4 bow. So back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) If any one needs 5 bow top sockets I can get his contact info to you. They are in Wyoming.
