Bud Tierney Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (Sorry, no link) In 1923 or 24 Hinkley Motor Co, a truck/bus engine producer, announced a plan to refurbish Fords under the HIMICO brand name... The project included an engine rebuild kit (modernising and increasing power) and the replament of the original trans with a conventional clutch and trans package.. Work could be dome locally with purchase of the whole kit, or the original engine etc could be sent to the Hinkley factory, I believe the one in Ecourse, for the work... Is this something known in the plethora of Ford modification projects?? Hinkley Motors died in 1926, co this may never've gotten off the drawing boaed... Any comments appreciated.

Bud Tierney Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Ahhh, many thxx!! Presumably production stopped when Hinkley Motors expired. Any idea if any good when new?? Tried Googling, but all I got was lingerie and some performing group... Just idle curiosity on my part; I've never evem driven a Model T, so don't need one. Again, many thxx!!

Flivverking Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I saw a complete iron HIMICO oil pan with the webbed front mount at Don Lang's a few years back while scrounging threw his storages . He has lots of original period (T) stuff..He may easily have odds and ends for these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
