MAG473 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 It seems that most of our Metz cars are missing the chain guards. How much interest in having new guards made? I'm in southeastern Minnesota. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bharper Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Yes, the chain covers are almost always missing. I suspect that after a few removals for servicing the chain they were discarded as being "too much trouble" to re-install. I have shaken my head when I peruse the For Sale Ads, in recent years, of Metz cars which have received expensive restorations and the chain covers along with other guards or covers are Missing. Big money for Completely and Authenticity restored cars. Buyer Beware and Do Your Research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Yeah Bill H, I still like that Metz! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG473 Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 These chain guards are a work in progress. Fortunately I had one original to use as a pattern. I will have to make mounting brackets and the flexible strip for lubrication. I had a local shop make the guards using the same process as the original. The seams are made by crimping the edges together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land24 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I would like a set or the patterns so I could make them. I have none and have never seen them in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG473 Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 I have traced a pattern of a chain guard onto brown paper. Will mail to anyone who requests them. I will also send photos of an original to show hardware needed to install. Wayne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsoncranium Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I just bought a 1913 Metz 22 Special. It's nearly complete but, one of the few things that I'm missing are those chain guards. I sure would like a copy of your patterns and those pictures of how they are installed, if that offer still stands! Scott Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
