Locobobile model 38 dash clock and Yale bonnet locks wanted

[Chris Batty]

Hi,

I live in the UK and have nearly finished restoring a 1917 model 38 Locomobile but am missing the Watham dash clock and the two Yale bonnet locks - does anyone have these items spare so that I can complete the restoration. There do not seem to be any other model 38 or 48 Locomobiles in the UK, so sourcing spares over here is difficult. If anyone has the whole triangular central instrument panel including the clock, I would be interested in buying that as well. As you can see from the photo, I have the car running and compe in some Edwardian race events, but would like to get these last parts to make the car complete. I would also like to fit the car with wire wheels ( because I race it and think these would be safer), which I believe were a factory option at the time, so am also looking for a set of these or hubs and rims to use as a pattern.

I have one free standing and one that attaches atop a Warner speedometer.

Hello Chris,  Look further down on the AACA forums as there is a full forum dedicated to Locomobile.  Check it out, maybe you can get additional help there.  Send me a private message as I may be able to help out on your desire for wire wheels.
