PMac Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I have two axles for a Model 20. These are the later type with tapered ends, keyways and threads for a securing nut. They are for a standard track car (not Southern track). They are in very good condition with good bevel gears, keyways and threads. I would like to trade these for some parts I am seeking for my 1910 car. Some of the parts I am seeking include: Brass cap for the crankcase breather tubes Front spring-to-axle u-bolt x 1 Spare tire carrier brackets for rear chassis Primer cups for cylinder pots Owners manual for 1910 car My preference is a trade and I am open to other items. Send me a PM if this interests you. Thanks, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Spear Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I will be attempting to cast some breather tube caps if it works out your name is on one. My car will need axles but I may make new ones and I don't have the items you need either but if no one comes forward maybe we can make a deal.

PMac Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 Jeff, Absolutely! Thanks for thinking of me with the breather cap. It is the one piece of the car I am yet to find. I would be happy to send you the axles if you can make use of them. I will drop you a note off line. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMac Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Jeff, Apologies for the delay.... just back from a short vacation. I sent you a PM just now. Simon, if Jeff doesn't need the axles, I would be happy to help out your Aussie connection. I have friends travelling back home to Brisbane in a few months time so we may be able to have them help with the logistics. I dropped you a note a while back re your printed breather caps. They look great. Any chance of another production run for these? Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reproduction is a one piece brass casting which covers the two up-pipes. The original cap was a thin brass pressed cover with a riveted clip to hold it in place.

So what this sounds like is that the reproduction would probably look right when installed, but really isn't correct. If someone is making a correct one I would be interested in getting one. That is one of the few pieces that is missing on my 1911 touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The repro looks fine on the car, just pointing out the difference. And, for all anyone knows, maybe the factory produced different covers. I’ll have to look in parts book to see if there’s an illustration….

Steve Hughes Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Thank you for the information, David. I am in no hurry to get the dust cover as I have not started a restoration yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Spear Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Steve thank you for the info on that company they look like a good resource. I see they have gas headlamp mirrors I will need those. I don't think there repo vent tube cover looks correct not that it matters much as David said maybe the factory even made different styles. I will still attempt casting some I am also in no hurry for that part. I do have a drawing for the original but no way of knowing if there was more than one style produced.
