Lock Ring keepers wanted...for raised pins

[trimacar]

I have a set of 19 inch lock rings that have the raised pins to fasten together with a "keeper".  I'm in need of 6 keepers, and understand someone in the Studebaker world reproduced them.

 

Who might that be?  Or does someone have a set to sell?  thanks David C. (and yes, I know that's not a Studebaker in the picture!!)

Please post a picture and part number.

I have a number of parts like that without part numbers.

I am old and slow , so please have patience.

David,

 

Be patient they are out there, someone is going to see this and know who it is. I had to make mine when i restored my 31 Studebaker years ago, but someone had some recently. If nobody responds, I'll give you some contact names.

Thanks, I don't have any part number.  I have made contact with someone who reproduced them, waiting to hear back if they have 6 left.  Also, one kind person is sending me one that he had laying around, so at least I have a pattern.

 

Thanks for the input...dc

I was able to acquire one through the goodness of a fellow enthusiast, and had a chance to buy 5 new ones.

 

sounds good, but they were all the wrong kind.

 

I'll draw a picture, basically it's a piece of steel about two inches long, with a curved, concave profile as viewed from either end, and a drilled hole at each end about a quarter inch in from the ends.

Well crap, I forgot about you... I will get you the sketch I promised earlier...

 

for now, here’s the ones that are on my 31 model 43. If someone is interested in a reproduction, I could use three more for my car...

[Mark Wetherbee]

PS: it’s a drilled hole and a slotted hole on the other side, not two round holes...

Good reference pictures, thanks!

Your reference to a 1931 model 43 must. be Pierce Arrow.

Studebaker shared a lot of parts with Pierce.

1. I looked thru my parts an d could not find any.

Yes, Pierce was owned by Studebaker at the time and shared several parts with the President series, David is asking for his Pierce with the hope that this is one of those parts.

Mark, the drawing is great, thank you very much.  0.06 thickness?  That sure sounds thin....

I had them reproduced about 10 years ago. I thought it would be a good seller as most cars need them.  Not much interest shown so I sold off what I had and haven't made any more.  Also made the pins that they go on. 

[Spinneyhill]

Are these what you want? For this much money I would make my own!

Yes that's what I'm looking for, thanks.  Sure, I could make my own, but I'd rather be doing something more productive.  Thanks dc

Those are the last of the batch we made. They are stainless and will polish up to look chrome.

I bought a set from White Glove when they were clearing stock.m I don't know if they have any left.
