Guest 1915 Stutz uk Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hello,I am new to the forum, thanks for reading. I'm trying to get some advice on a couple of issues on a 1915 Stutz, can someone help me please?I am trying to work out how the speedo drives from the front LH wheel, I have some parts but a picture would help massively.I am also in need of a front wheel bearing, does anyone know where I can get one/ find one from?Im based in the UK, but holidaying in Vegas at the weekend are there any cars in that area I can look at?Thanks in advanceBest Regards,Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 If you don't receive adequate replies here,you could try contacting the Stutz Club directly,perhaps through their internet site www.stutzclub.com. Hope you find what you need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Speedo stuff can be pretty generic. Your car may have used Stewart components. If so, I recommend starting by purchasing the Speedometer booklet form the Model T Ford Club. It's of course going to talk about Model Ts but many of the components are interchangable with a lot of different cars. That booklet also shows drawings, catalog pages, and other info for those components and provides the original Stewart part numbers. There is a section on how to repair the swivel joints and speedo heads too, and that info would universally apply to any stewart setup. There is a formula there to help you calculate wheel diameter and gear ratios as well as how to determine what size wheel gear you need. It'll be a wealth of information. Putting that together with your original literature will help you sort it out and find the right pieces. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Good morning , Andrew , I have not been to 'Vegas in years (hope to be there mid April in my '27 Cadillac for the Cadillac & LaSalle Club G.N.) , but in the past have enjoyed closer than public access to the Imperial Palace Collection. ( Is Ritchie Cline still heading up that large stable ?) Ritchie was of great help to me perhaps 20-25 years ago. Hopefully someone here has current status info. Wishing you a very enjoyable trip, and relief from U.K. damp gloom this time of year, - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 There is a photo of a speedometer drive on a 1913 Oakland located in the "For Sale" section that may help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 First..The speedometer drive goes on the right front, same side as the steering column.Second.. Speedometers were Warner but since Stewart and Warner were both owned by the same holding company ( they had not been consolidated yet) they did share some road gear and drive mounting components. Typically you would have a 64 tooth 8 pitch road gear. The large size Timken front axle takes a special casting that clamps and bolts to the spindle arm to support the speedometer swivel ( drive).Perhaps at this point pictures of what you do have would be in order.Wheel bearing..Cadillac and other cars ( trucks too) share the same front wheel bearings. Do you need inner or outer and just the bearing with cone or the cup ( pressed in the hub) too? I might have some used spares if you do not locate new from specialty suppliers of bearings for antique cars.BestLayden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oily rag Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If you are interested I have some passes to the Auto Collection at the LINQ, on the strip in Vegas. (the old Imperial Palace) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I will just second most of the advice above. Russ Furstnow did a fantastic job on the model T speedometer book! And much of the information is generic for most of the cars of the era.Layden B knows his stuff better than most of the people I have ever met in this hobby. And he knows Stutz better than most also.The Stutz club is a better group than most small production marques. I may not be able to afford to buy a radiator cap for one, but I know several people that have Stutz automobiles (early and later cars). I have read a number of their newsletters and marvel at them and the information and the help they give their members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
